I removed it from the catalog and ran the conversion again. Again the offending file had "edited" in the file name, so I did a search for all files with "edited" in the file name. There were 17 files that I deleted from the catalog and all 11,000 pictures converted perfectly!RickWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12796834443205572088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199227608328022499.post-14627250449475433452014-07-10T20:54:04.009+05:302014-07-10T20:54:04.009+05:30All seemed to go well based on this post: I found ...All seemed to go well based on this post: I found and fixed many dozens of files in my 16,000+ database.

This blog holds good if this issue is due to corrupted files.<br /><br />I may help you in resolving this issue but for that I need your catalog db file (path can be determined from 'Help->system Info->Catalog details') to investigate the issue. Could you please share this file (either mail it or share it via drop box)? Please let me know if you are unable to locate or share the db file.<br /><br />Regards,<br />SurendraSurendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156729183840285331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199227608328022499.post-4581205823971301932013-07-02T01:29:06.668+05:302013-07-02T01:29:06.668+05:30Thank you for the response, Surendra.
Turns out ...Thank you for the response, Surendra. <br />Turns out the conversion did not go smoothly. I thought that it had, but it had not. I had not been patient enough to wait for completion. All conditions you mention above are met. I have tried multiple times to convert, remove the last file in the converstion txt log file, and convert again. Each time a new file is listed at the end. Reading elsewhere on the web, it seems that another possibility is that any jpg files that were edited from their original files will have a problem converting. Since I do not have the original files (I removed them when I liked my edits), I cannot restore those edited files to their original state. There appears to be no way to identify all of the edited files, and I have probably hundreds of them in my album of more than 18,000 photos. Alas at this point it seems my only way of getting all of those photos into Elements 10 (or 11) is to import them from the files, and reattach all tags. For pictures where there is only one tag, this is relatively easy. But I have tons of pictures with multiple tags (the whole idea of tags, of course) so will have to painstakingly restore all of those tags. This has been an extremely frustrating exercise trying so many things to get this work, so if you have any other suggestions I would much appreciate them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199227608328022499.post-69459564645104215332013-06-28T19:07:25.116+05:302013-06-28T19:07:25.116+05:30First of all a great thanks for commenting.
Some ...First of all a great thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Some clarifications:<br />1. As stated in this post, this method is valid only if conditions mentioned in 'The troubleshooting steps mentioned in this blog will work fine for:'.<br />2. You are correct that in the log file there will be thousands of filenames mentioned but the end of log file will appear as shown in figure. Essentially the last filename mentioned in the long list of filenames is culprit.<br />3. Another thing here is - there can a number of factors due to which catalog conversing might file. It can be due to corrupted file, missing file, corrupted rendition, corrupted tag/album. Above blog mentions the 'most common cause and how to fix it' thing.<br />4. You can't generalise your case. For example, just import five images in your PSA catalog. Delete one of them from hard drive. Now try to convert this catalog in PSE11. Generally it won't show catalog conversion failure and you will file your missing file to be present in your converted catalog as well.<br /><br />Please share your thoughts.<br /><br />Regards,<br />SurendraSurendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156729183840285331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199227608328022499.post-38159777484444722832013-06-28T11:28:07.557+05:302013-06-28T11:28:07.557+05:30I think the above advice is incorrect, or if not i...I think the above advice is incorrect, or if not incorrect then misleading. I had thousands of files with lines as indicated in the above yxy file, and that was not the problem. The problem was that I had some file names in the catalog for pictures that no longer existed on my hard drive. The pictures weren't corrupted, they were just missing. And there were not thousands of them. To fix the problem, list the files in Photoshop Album under File>Reconnect Missing Files. A window opens that lists all missing files. If pictures were moved to another directory, you can identify that directory for a whole group of pictures. Or, if you deleted pictures from your hard drive but not the Photoshop Album catalog, then you can delete them from the catalog (find them using the search by filename feature). Once I reconnected all missing files or deleted them from the catalog, then the conversion went smoothly.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
