Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI Organizer

[Trev]

Psp 9 introduced a Shell Extension Thumbnail handler. I was under the impression it was part of x onwards. This Will make PSP image Thumbs display in explorer windows One fo PSD is also available from MS Power toys and a Nef Cr2 also. for thumbnails of other Raw formats ARC SOFT have a free download.
Note thes are only for sowing the thumbs not opening the image.

Once PSP has cataloged the thumbs It will be relativly idel and the thrashing may have been coused by a corupt data base. You can allow or disallow Psp from cataloguing after you have close PSP in preferences. So making the database writeable and letting it run should get it over and done with providing you not letting it catalogue Multi page PDF files and a HDD full of movies

The problem with the X.. Organizer is that by default it's set to scan for all images. If you have a lot of photos on your hard drive(s) to catalog, it bogs down the system when you first run PSP, and good luck accessing the PSP option to limit that scan during this operation.

Installation of Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X.. also installs an applet in memory that monitors for Organizer additions and changes.

Corel's decision to switch from the old Jasc (for newbies, the previous owner of PSP) Browser to the Organizer was likely a marketing decision to better compete with Photoshop Elements. Elements' Organizer, by the way, is much more manageable.
