PS7 quirk drive me crazy! - PhotoCamel

rshunk · 04-11-2009

I use Photoshop 7.0 running with XP and it has a small quirk that drives me up the wall - I hope someone here has a solution.

Through XP, I have all my folders set to "Details" - if I want to see a thumbnail, I'll click on "Thumbnail". I shoot so may pics that are similar (with slight adjustments) that looking at a tiny thumbnail doesn't help me. I like to see the details - like file name, size, date, etc. - not a tiny image.

However, whenever I open a file in PS7 (File-->Open) and go to the folder where I put the images, it shows me thumbnails - I then have to select "Details" to view it the way I want. This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN AN IMAGE - this drives me crazy!!

If I use the browser (File-->Browse) - it does the same thing and shows me a thumbnail, but it also shows the details (which isn't so bad), but I don't want a thumbnail at all.

Anyone have a solution?

Upgrade?

After playing around a little more - let me add that it only does this when I try to open any folder contained in the "My Pictures" folder. If I have photo folders anywhere else on my hard drive - it keeps the folder settings set to "Details". BTW - it also does it in CS2.

Maybe it's an XP/Windows thing?

Bob S,

I believe it is a Windoze thing Bob. Happens to me too. But...in the grand scheme of things...if that is the worst thing happening we are in pretty good shape eh?

So true!

Maybe I'll just create a new "pictures" folder different from "My Pictures" and move everything there.

ETA: That worked!
