Chris, File Browser

Chris,

File Browser! All in the sort mode. Using a Canon 10D to take wedding pictures and Canon Zoombrowser to
download the images. I separate them into 4 folders. Brides, "Home" "Church" "Gardens" and "Hotel".
Software allows me to number from .001 right to the end. OK

I now open File Browser and everything is fine. 4 Folders all numbered in order .001-.350 say. Now, if you
remember in a previous thread I mentioned about deleting images and the wee black border around them
in v7, (Which has now gone) I have to use the new feature "Date Modified".

BTW, I’m trying to keep this short AND without hijacking this thread, it’s just I know your here.

Now, when I select "Date Modified" all the numbers get muddled up. Instance! In the "Home" folder numbered
..001 – .027 under either "Filename" or "Date Created" the numbers are in order BUT when I select "Date Modified"
this is how I’m presented with the numbers.

001-004, 007-010, 013-015, 017-027, 005-006, 011-012, and 016.

Here’s the problem I encounter.

1. I haven’t "Modified" ANY files at this point

2. Usually in the "Gardens" folder I have on average about 150-200 images to deal with and if they’re all
muddled say one set of parents on No 150 and then another set of parents at No 153 and they are at opposite
ends of the file browser, it gets annoying to scroll every few minutes to make sure the actual "in order" images were
taken in the first place.

3. (Not entirely YOUR fault) I bought CS to speed up not increase my workflow

4. When I select and drag images into CS and say adjust levels, if I don’t use "Date Modified" and work
on a batch of 20 images, they still ALL remain highlighted in blue so the only way to know if they are
"Modified" is to use "Date Modified" which as previously pointed out muddles my "In Order" numbers.
(I’m obviously having a problem with spelling "subsequent" or "consecutive") or hope and pray they
were originally taken view and when rotated they change to upright in which case is fine ‘cos I can see
they HAVE been "Modified" in which case I don’t need "Date Modified" anymore. It’s only when i have a "View"
image I want to remain "View" so I have to adjust the levels, usually white point down to 253 so as it looks
like it’s modified so I can sort the images.

Chris, this is a help thread and i’m pointing out the difficulty i’m having and don’t rush off and say it’s the Canon
software or XP or something else. I had a lightning workflow using v7 browser and i’m not saying revert
back ‘cos it’s got useful features but it’s slowing me down badly and we’re coming into the wedding season hot and heavy
and I need my time for designing the wedding albums as well as trying to make slideshows (I’ve a feature request under Chris
PDF Slideshow) amongst trying to get DVD slideshows and Movies in other Adobe Apps etc etc.

Chris ANY ideas would be appreciated or if your looking at it give me a "smack in the mouth" hint that you are
‘cos I know you’re busy too. Please reply ‘cos I don’t want to start another thread.

Regards

Mark
