PSE 7 Problems Fixed in PSE 8

[Latafat]

In view of the information in sequence that PSE 6 was released, I have tracked the entire the reproducible bugs I have encountered and reported to Adobe. I have comprised to test these tribulations in PSE 8 and listed the results beneath tribulations that come into view to have been fixed in PSE 8 are marked [F], and tribulations that remain unfixed are marked.

There is superior and bad news. Adobe has fixed a numeral of serious bugs in the Organizer, additional than it has left the majority unfixed, even though they have been present in view of the fact that at least version 6. Even of inferior quality, the two major characteristics introduced in the PSE 8 Organizer, face tagging and the keyword-tags text box, have show-stopper tribulations. And even worse yet, Full Screen view is at present painfully sluggish by means of large catalogs.

The majority significant fixes address serious tribulations by means of PSE’s handling of drives that were introduced in version 6. PSE at present notices when a drive’s letter has changed, a difficulty that has bedeviled numerous users upgrading or rearranging their drives. In addition, PSE currently ignores the case of UNC pathnames (network drives), no longer generating duplicate volumes for the similar network drive. Regrettably, one serious bug remains: PSE tranquil gets terribly confused when there are two drives by means of the similar volume serial number, and it tranquil does not even issue a warning.

I have reported the entire of these tribulations to Adobe. Approximately the entire of them are in the Organizer. Based on the entire the reports on the forums, it comes into view that the Editor has far fewer tribulations than the Organizer. Maybe that’s for the reason that the Editor shares the similar code by means of the professional Photoshop, at the same time as the Organizer comes into view to be an orphaned consumer product whose development Adobe has moved offshore.

On a catalog by means of 10,000 thumbnails demonstrating, the cursor spins for 30 seconds subsequent to clicking completed. Additional than you be able to work approximately this by doing a tag search or setting a date range to have merely a diminutive number of thumbnails demonstrating previous to you invoke the command. In the Find > Find People For Tagging command, when you choose Add Missing Person, you typically cannot resize the selection box by grabbing the lower-right or lower-center handles, which are the handles that most right-handed people are probable to utilize.

I have in excess of two hundred People tags in my directory. For the reason that the command does not auto-complete on pre-existing People tags and determine to silently generate innovative tags, and for the reason that I do not remember exact spellings (that’s the point of auto-complete!), I originate myself generating duplicate tags (e.g. “John Ellis” as an alternative of “John R. Ellis”, “Bob Smith” as an alternative of “Robert Smith”). It’s excruciating to clean up such a mess.

By means of a 14,000-file directory and the entire thumbnails observable, PSE 7 takes 6 seconds to invoke F11, at the same time as PSE 8 takes 13 seconds. By means of presently 20 thumbnails observable (e.g. when running on the most recent import batch), PSE 7 takes 1 second, at the same time as PSE 8 takes 7 seconds. This makes selecting the superior and weeding out the bad considerably slower.
