Some folders show no photos in the organiser

warrencalvert  wrote Hi I have some folders which contain photos but Photoshop Elements organiser says 'No files from this folder have been imported into Elements Organiser'. If I import the photos from these folders, Photoshop skips all of them reporting that they are already in the catalog. How can I fix this?  I'm using Photoshop Elements 15. Thanks, Warren.

Warren,

You can't import duplicates in a catalog. To be precise, the organizer compares the date taken and file size of the files to import with those already in the catalog. The message is a clear indication that you have already the same files in other folders (they may have different file names, but they are identical in content).

To check where are the already imported files, you can create a search for those criteria for one of the files you can see in the folder. You should find where the first imported file is located. Generally, once you find the first one, you can look for the other files in the folder, chances are they are in the same location.

Just to follow up, I have run a database repair but this didnt help.
