USING ELEMENTS 9 ORGANIZER
Managing files and catalogs
Last updated 9/12/2011
In the Media Browser, you can move photos, video files, and audio clips to other folders and change their filenames.
If you move files in the Media Browser, Elements
Organizer remembers the new location. You don’t get a “missing
file” alert, as you do when you move the file outside Elements
Organizer.
Note: Elements Organizer creates links to media files that you get from your computer. If you move a media file,
Elements
Organizer might not be able to find it until you reconnect the media file from its new location. To move files
from one folder to another, or to a CD or other storage device, use File > Copy/Move To Removable Drive command in
Elements
Organizer. Using this command enables Elements
Organizer to track the changes.
Moving a file by choosing File > Move in the Elements Organizer.
1 In the Media Browser, select one or more media files you want to move.
2 Choose File
> Move.
3 Click Browse in the Move Selected Items dialog box. Then navigate to locate and select the folder into which you
want to move the selected media files.
4 If you want to remove media files from your list of files to move, select the files under Items To Move, and click the
Remove button
. (Clicking the Remove button does not remove the files from your hard disk, only from your
current selection.)
5 To add media files to your list of files to move, click the Add button
, and use the Add Media dialog box. On
completion, click Done.
6 Click OK.

Copy or move items offline
Use the Copy/Move To Removable Drive command to copy a set of photos onto a disk. For example, sending your
photos to a friend on a CD or DVD. Use the Copy/Move To Removable Drive command to move the full-resolution
master files to CD or DVD (Windows), or to pen drives and zip drives (Mac OS). Low-resolution proxies (copies) are
retained on your hard disk. Although you move media files, you see them in your catalog, and view them on-screen.
Space used by these media files is now free.
In the Elements
Organizer, a CD icon
appears on items that are offline (stored on CD or DVD, not on the local
hard drive). When you try to print an offline photo, or do something else that requires the full-resolution file, you’ll
be prompted for the disc you created.
