Using Public Pictures folder on Windows 7

[tsrich]

I'm a new user of Paint Shop Pro X4.

I store all my photos in the directories under the public pictures folder, (C:\Users\Public\Pictures) rather than in my pictures folder in my documents. I do this so that all the users on the system can get to the pictures.

I'm having problems getting Paint Shop Pro to recognize the folder correctly. I have added the c:\users\public\pictures folder to the organizer using the Browse More Folders action and it shows up. However, the Smart Collections don't see any of the files in the folders under this dir.

My overall goal here is to be able to use the timeline feature on all my photos at once, so I want to get all of the photos into the All Pictures smart collection.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tim

Under the SMART COLLECTIONS, you should see the option ALL PHOTOS, will index (search) to all the photos that you have on your computer. So if you only save photos on the "C:\Users\Public\Pictures\" folder, it should have no problem indexing them all.

If you're not satisfied with it, then just ADD A SMART COLLECTION by clicking on the ADD SMART COLLECTION then just create a criteria for the smart collection. The best criterion that you can probably set is the IMAGE DATE then set it to "IS AFTER" then just select the oldest date of the photo that you have.
