I respectfully beg to differ with you michelb. I have spent a significant amount of time keying in tags and trying to use keyworks, albumns, and keywords in the past and have found that I end up having problems with them when I upgrade from one version of elements to another, or that they are cumbersome. The organizer is also too slow and I have a fast system. The recently used file list is a simple, quick and effective way to see what I last worked on, and I and others rely on it for our workflow. .....and as I said in my first post here, I am 98% ready to move back to Elements14 .........so it is a big deal to me. Yes, you'll have to wait a little until Adobe fixes the 'last edited' files list bug. Could you comment about 'the organizer is too slow...' ? Do you use background tasks like face recognition, geotagging, automatic reconnecting, watched folders etc? |

DUH - maybe that's why I never see recently edited stuff there anymore. That and Fat 32 - I don't want to know anymore. Just make these things easy for an old brain to understand.
I ain't the gal I used to be when I started learning this stuff in 1982.  I now adhere to KISS LOL! I'm with you Janice! Some days its a wonder I get myself fed and out the door. |

- There is rarely a single bug or issue to correct, generally a single update is issued for several bugs at the same time; I would expect that within a month or so. Other bugs and issues to be corrected are the problems with auto-hide task bar in Windows and other hardware/OS compatibility issues. Michel,
This has always been my experience with the way Adobe handles bugs (going back to Elements 4). And it makes absolutely sense to me . . . One single update to fix as many bugs as possible. Anyway, this seems to be the standard approach among the many software companies out there.
Yes, indeed.
In my "real" life I have almost daily contact with about 50 users of Elements. I sent out an informal survey to all of them about this issue. The results were enlightening.
- Most of them were not losing any sleep over it. Interestingly enough, these were the ones who use the Organizer to its full potential, working with collections, albums, keywords, etc. Their attitude was . . . If you use the Organizer (the way it should be used), do you really need the Recently Edited feature that bad?
- A few of them (about 5) were concerned about this issue. These were the ones who avoid the Organizer.
- Two of them were also concerned about this issue but they were the ones who don't really use the Organizer the way they should and are not willing to change their workflow.
I am curious. I am going to check it out. Thanks! |

I ran into an issue with deleting the MachinePrefs.psp file which I shared with Andreas (the problem solver in the Adobe forum) hoping he could come up with a solution. This is what I ran into:
I used the solution (delete MachinePrefs.psp) a few times and sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not. The problem I encountered for the second time, was that when I deleted the MachinePrefs.psp file and restarted Elements, my images came into Editor with a ton of noise that was not there before, so I think something happened with my graphics card. Luckily (being paranoid about these computer things), I kept a copy of my original MachinePrefs.psp file and restored it. Once I reopened my image again in Editor, the noise was gone and the file was clear again. I am always nervous about anything happening between my computer and my video card, as what shows up on my screen is what prints when I send it to be printed (through Photobook Canada). (....btw, have you discovered metal prints yet - they are fantastic!!!!)

It's very difficult to believe that anything to do with that file could possibly affect your video card. I think it was just some kind of synchronicity yuou noticed.

The link to the thread on the Adobe Photoshop Elements forum was posted earlier in this thread. However, for the benefit of anyone following this thread and of those who may join for the first time I am reposting that link. In this way, everyone can read these posts in their original context. Also, I believe it will be helpful to be able to follow the various suggestions provided throughout the thread -- who said what and when.
