Photoshop Elements: Photo Downloader on OS X uses wrong [shot date] for JPEG files

The Elements Team has posted fixes for these issues:

Mac: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/930/cpsid_93...

Win: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/930/cpsid_93...

I am having exact the same problem with PSE10 (configured for German language) on 2 machines both running Windows 7 - x64 (German).

Photodownloader.exe
File Version: 7.0.0.24632
Product Version: 7.0.0.221240

I am selecting the desired subfolder name format from the combobox as 'Aufnahmedatum(jjjj mm tt)' but the folders created are named jjjj tt mm.

Example:
Aufnahmedatum (shot date): 23. November 2011
Subfolder name created: 2011 23 11

All worked fine on PSE8 und PSE9.

A fix ist urgently needed.

Import from a camera card in Photoshop Elements 10 has "lost" the European date format - "yyyy mm dd". This was present in previous versions, but has now disappea5red. Please support the rest of the world. Also renaming the folder to the correct format each time is a pain - and often fails

Photoshop Elements: PSE 10 import - no longer supports European Date Format - yyyy mm dd.

Dear Sirs, I selected the sub folder name for a new folder in following format: Aufnahmedatum (jjjj mm tt). The problem is, that a new subfolder is created in the format jjjj tt mm! It worked with Elemts 9 and earlier releases well. I use Windows XP (German) and Photoshop Elements 10 (German).

Photoshop Elements: Wrong name format for a new sub-folder.

Have just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 10 and was dismayed when uploading photos into the catalog that the automatic folder location default choices were restricted to variations of yyy dd mm ( American date format ). Why is there no option for yyyy mm dd which is far more useful as the folders naturally display in chronological order ? I am sure it used to have this option in Elements 9.

In PE10, the photo downloader import settings -> create subfolder(s) by "shot date (yyyy mm dd)" results in a folder with the day and month the wrong way round e.g. yyyy dd mm.

This feature worked in versions 7 and 9.

Photoshop Elements: downloaded dates displayed in wrong order.

I am having the problem with Win7/64(may not be exactly the same as the OP).

I seem to be able to switch the error on or off by changing the date format in the General Preferences.

If the format is DD/MM/YYYY then the folder is named YYYY DD MM

If the format is MM/DD/YYYY then the folder is named YYYY MM DD

The create sub folder name options also vary depending on the date format.

I'm in the UK so this may be a regional thing.

Quick question from the product team. If you use an external card reader instead of hooking the camera directly up to the computer, do the dates get represented correctly?

Hi,

I'm sorry, but all my tests were done using a card reader and not connecting the camera.

I was trying with the same card each time. I would import the photos, see the results and then delete them from catalog and disk (using PSE of course) and then set up the next test.

I am willing to try further tests if you would like me to.

Brian

Therre is no difference between import direct from the cam or import from the card reader!

Arnold

I simply want Organizer to list the option of a YYYYMMDD format, regardless of the source of the incoming images or the operating system's preferences.

Ken

I agree with Ken. So far as I'm concerned, providing a YYYYMMDD option means getting back to the facility I've had from all previous versions of Elements that I've used (which is most of them).

It's been suggested that the folder names used by Elements don't matter, since Elements hides this folder interface. But I do sometimes use these folders directly- for example when a friend emails me a set of photos, rather than power up Elements (which takes quite a long time, probably because I have quite a lot of pictures (over 50,000)) I drag and drop these into (roughly) the right folder in "Pictures". Then these pop us as new-found pictures when next I'm in Elements, and I can then give the extra time to classify the new pictures (not least, with the name of the person who took them).

The problem is that there are options in the loader program to denote the name of the desired subfolder. In either option JJJJ MM DD or JJJJ DD MM the result is always JJJJ DD MM.
For any programmer this bug should be easy to fix.

Photo Loader Program in Photoshop Elements Release 10 has an error.
Instead of loading into a folder with name JJJJ MM DD it screws the name into JJJJ DD MM. Fix badly needed
