Does Photoshop Elements 2024 Organizer support .psb files?

I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 2022 Organizer to manage my collection of images.  Recently I've been generating some files in Photoshop 25.3.1 that exceed the 2 GB limit for storage as .psd files.  I'm then forced to store them as .psb (format for large files).  However the 2022 Elements Ogranizer won't import .psb files using File > Get Photos and Videos > From Files and Folders.  Would upgrading to the 2024 version solve this dilemma?  I've verified that there's only one instance of the specific .psb file I'm trying to import.  Since .psb is an Adobe file format, it seems as though support for that format should be consistent across products.  New feature request maybe?  

 

I also find that there are some .psd files for which the Elements 2022 Organizer will not display a thumbnail image, rather it just puts up an icon that looks like a torn page as appears below, suggesting that it must think there's something wrong with the file or at least with the thumbnail:

The ones you see above are all .psd files, not in stacks like the others that do appear.  Some of the files that won't show thumbnails are large and some are not.  Other larger .psd files do show the thumbnail.  These files are all viewable in Photoshop and Adobe Bridge.  Any thoughts?

AFAIK, Elements 2024 does not support .PSB files.  Supported files are listed here.

 

Your generic thumbnails may also be files that exceed the maximum limits for Elements.   See this article.

Thanks for information.  It would be really nice if it did support .psb files, but it is what is.
