ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Photoshop Wont Start

« on: 2021-03-16 17:05:13 »

I customized my menu bar to invoke Photoshop, but it will not do it.

[C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Photoshop.exe]


I CAN invoke Photoshop Elements via an added menu item,  but not Photoshop. I can invoke PS by double clicking its .exe, but can't seem to get it to come up from Thumbs Plus.

Ideas.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Compact Database Corrupts the Database

« on: 2021-02-09 09:46:16 »

After moving files/folders etc to a new external drive,  etc, I made a backup of my database. Then, I executed a T+ compact and repair on the original. At the end of the process, T+10 does not recognize the database. It throws error  ".. The selected database is not a Thumbs Plus database...? HUH??? See attachment

What's going on? The backup database works fine, but not the "compacted and repaired" one.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Strange Keyword behavior

« on: 2019-04-05 08:00:17 »

Its me again ..

I had to convert my database from t4 to t10 and in the  process had to move all my keyword and annotation data to the metadata of the images, and then set t10 to repopulate the image database with the info that was in the metadata.

I had images that were keyworded with a field named "kiba trip day xx", where xx ran from 01 to 44... All the images from kiba trip day 10 through kiba trip day 44 brought in the keyword into the database so as to show up in the image data window shown in the image I attach.. These keywords also show up in the Find By Query function. Here is the strange part. The images keyworded with "kiba trip day 01" through "kiba trip day 09", while showing up in the keyword field on the image ( see attached image at the right), DO NOT show up in the Find By Query list.

If I manually add them to the image, then I have 2 items that say kiba trip day xx, but only one item in the find by query list ..

I suspect that there is something about that leading "0" in the day 01 thru the day 09 that got things confused when it brought in the keyword from the metadata.

I rescanned the folder, but nothing changed.

Ideas as to what happened.. I will go back and manuall re-add the keyword of day 01 thru day 09 and it WILL show up as a query field, but then I will duplicates int he image database window ( but only a single one in the Edit Keywords list , BTW)

PS - the reason it shows day 09 and 08 in the attached images is cause I was experimention at how to get the "0" prefixed images to show up.. There is NO day 07, day 06 etc in the list  ( till I readd a duplicate keyword)

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Can't put external program icon onto displayed image menu

« on: 2019-03-22 07:34:54 »

Hello All..

Maybe I'm missing something. When in the page that has the thumbnails view, I can call up an image to photoshop (external program) using the icon I added to the menu bar, but I can't seem to add that external program button to my menu bar when I double click the thumbnail and call up just that image itself ( see attachment). I can add various (but not all) other commands to the full image menu bar  - but not the add external program to that menu bar. What's up.

Also, I would like to be able to add the batch command to the individual image menu bar, but cant see that it is available in that menu either.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Slow Loading of Thumbs in T10 vs T7

« on: 2019-03-04 09:22:20 »

I experience slow loading of thumbnails if T10.

I click on a folder, and after about a 1 second  delay,  the thumbs start displaying at  about 10 per second ... Thumbs 7 was fairly instant to first  image to display a and then the rest of the process went at about 30-40  thumbs displayed per second.

Also, If I wait and wait and wait, without scrolling, while what I think is population of the display array is happening,T10 ONLY populates/displays the first screen of thumbs  that will fit in my window. When, thinking that OK all the background populating has happened,  I scroll down with the wheel, I get no joy -   there is blank space  at the bottom of the thumbs window, and only then does the display start apparently building the display of  those next images in the folder. ARRRGGGG

Now, here is where it gets even more interesting .. AFTER doing the scroll/ wait/ display, and then scroll/ wait/ display to the end of the folder of images, the mouse scroll back and forward IS speedy and instant like it was in T7.

If I  then click out to another folder, I go thru the same frustrating process of a waited display, and then when when click back into the original folder, T10 still has the wait/scroll wait/display/scroll/wait display lag. 

Whats up? Am I missing a setting. Do others have this behavior??

I have run T7 of the same win 10 machine and the loading and scrolling up and down is super fast .  I have tried this with the thumbnails contained in the database, and also with a database having images contained in folders.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Move Thumbnails back into DB

« on: 2019-01-30 20:36:52 »

My DB currently has the thumbnails stored in files. I see there is an optiong to move thumbnails to files, but is there an  option/way to move the thumbs back into the DB. I am finding that thumbnail loading is a bit slow and also when I scroll the thumbnails the display lags when scrolling in the foreward direction but not when scrolling in the backwards direction.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Tagging Images - Where did Icon Go"

« on: 2019-01-28 18:07:47 »

I recall in t7 that when you tag an image/thumbnail, a little flag icon would show up on the lower left corner of the thumbnail. Is that little icon overlay feature still availabe in t10.. Maybe I ma missing something. The icon shown when I view the image but not on the thumbnail.

Also, Does Alt, tag the images. The help says it does, but did they mover the command. The button help text says it is ctl INS???

ThumbsPlus Suggestions / Drag and Drop Meta data between panes [Revised]

« on: 2019-01-18 15:33:17 »

Instead of selecting an item to show in the left pane and then moving it to the right where it indexes to the bottom and then I have to grab it and move it, I would like to just drag it from the left to the right side.

BUT WAIT -- P Crews, you are pretty crafty yes you are. I find that I index on the right side field ( target) and then index on the left side field and then hit the > button and it puts it right under the item selected int he right side target pane ... That is freaking slick ...
