Using XP Pro SP2, I needed to move my photos from a drive "M" to my "C" drive (everything else about the folder and path stayed the same for my 3000+ photos). I’m using PSE 3.0.1.
When I used the reconnect function for "all missing photos" it seemed to work, although it was a bit tedious manually clicking for each photo.
But it didn’t work when I tried to start a slideshow (about 248 photos). So I reconnected the photos used in the slide (when I clicked on the slideshow it prompted me). However now, when attempted to view the slide show it would show all of the photo thumbnails on the bottom but the main screen remains dark thoughout the playing of the slideshow.
Then it turns out that when I restarted PSE, all of the photos somehow lost their link although now a low res photo with the appears in the organizer instead with that disconnect icon on the bottom center of the photo.
Questions:
1. Why does the slideshow not present properly? There is still a "?" in the organizer for this slideshow.
2. Once reconnected, why would the photos become unlinked again?
3. Does it matter what folder I keep "My Catalog" in? I now have it in "My Photos" folder and not in the default application data folder. This makes it easier for me to back up when I’m backing up My Documents.
4. Is there a way to automate the reconnect feature so I don’t have to click for each relink? I use the reconnect "all missing photos" and it correctly finds them, but it would be nice if one click did it all.
Thanks.
