PSE 15 Organizer Cannot Locate Saved Slide Show

Report · Jul 13, 2017

I created a slide show and saved it. There is no dialogue box indicating the saved location on my iMac. A search for the saved name on the entire hard drive and in the Organizer reveals nothing found. I re-created and tried again. This is the most non-intuitive program I have ever used and will be looking for a different platform.

In the meantime how can I solve this?

Hi Michael

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you've faced.

Slideshow in Elements are playable only in Organizer until they are exported as videos to be used outside the application. Their location is thus not exposed on the UI. But still if you are interested in accessing them on your hard disk, you can follow with me on below steps for their location:

1. In Organizer, go to Hep menu > System Info...

2. In the dialog that opens, copy the location against " Catalog Location " , as highlighted below:

Open this location in your file explorer. This is your catalog folder. Here you will find folder "projects". Double click to go inside. This folder would enlist files .psessc file types which are your slideshow projects present in that catalog.

In case you wish to know more about exporting Slideshow, please see Creating slide shows .

Hope this would be helpful in answering your queries.

Thanks,

Arshla
