That creates a lot of "erroneous" files in the History,Īt least they are erroneous because they reside in some directory other than the one where the "real" most recent file resides. One has to know where the file was previously located in the file system. However, think about how that creates substantial confusion if one decides they would like toĪccess the previous version of the file, or wants to be sure that a backup copy of the file is resident in the History archive. You're correct that the file is not altered except for appearing in a new location in the file system.

I can determine by looking with the Windows File Explorer. When I move a file or create a new directory using PSE Organizer that file or directory actually shows up in the Windows file system, at least from what I've also made it a habit to use the "write metadata to files" operation available in PSE Organizer.

Then when they are finished I move them into the main section of my archive that has significant based on geographic location, certain groups of people, or special classes My initial image correction / manipulation in these folders, add tags, and captions. My normal workflow is to import images from my cameras into a special folder, XferIn, that has subfolder based on the capture dates of the images. I do use tags, but in general will apply them before I move the files to their final resting place. This appears to me to be an error or logical oversight in the design of the algorithm in File History that decides when a file needs to The only thing that seems to trigger File History to copy a file is to actually make a modification to the fileĬontents and resave it. This is a very tedious and time consuming task and really makes using File History unworkable. The files that I've moved using PSE Organizer are not detected by Windows File History and consequently are not copied to the History archive. That date would need to be later than the date the last backup was run. The decision to back up a file depends on at least one of the dates associated with the file, most like the Date Modified or something similar. Other file attributes to decide if a file needs to be backed up. The "Archive" attribute seems to be a legacy structure brought from the creation of NTFS and Windows NT and no longer is really used, but has not been removed. Windows File History appears to look at one or moreįile attributes in order to decide if a file needs to be copied to the File History location, however it is not using the "Archive" attribute. From what I've read in several places, most backup programs use some algorithm based on date information and possibly Identical results which I would attribute to PSE Organizer and File Explorer using the same system routines. I also experimented with File Explorer and noticed
After the file is "move" to a new folder / directory the "Archive" attribute is set, but no other attributes, especially date attributes, appear to be changed.
The file and then deleting the original copy. The PSE Organizer likely uses system routines to do the movement of files, but based on system performance I would guess that it is a logical movement of the file that alters links / pointers in the file system rather than actually reading and rewriting I've run a couple of experiments and based on the results I have made some assumptions regarding how PSE Organizers and Windows File History What I discovered was that Windows File History did not discover that there were new directories and relocated files. In the last few days I've been doing some structural reorganization of my photo files, using PSE's Organizer to create new folders and move existing files into those folders. Use PSE's Organizer to maintain a catalog of my images and meta data associated with the individual files.
#HOW TO COMPRESS PICTURES WITH PSE UPGRADE#
Doing full backup takes almost a day.Ī few weeks after moving to Windows 10 I upgrade my Photoshop Elements (PSE) to Version 12 which came with a slide scanner that I'd purchased. My photo library is approaching 60K images and slightly under 1 TB of data. Most of what I'm backing up are photographs and it is important that I be able to look at theseįiles with various Photoshop products. To be able to easily access the back up files with the same application used to create them or take the drive to another computer and access the information there. I needed to have a backup that produced an exact copy of the backed up files on a separate, dedicated drive and do it in a way that did not compress, encrypt, or in any way alter the files or directory structures. Seagate told me to use the Windows 10įile History feature which I did.

Recently I upgraded my Windows 7 system to Windows 10 which resulted in the backup software I was using from Seagate no longer working.
