    Opening multiple files in file explorer


    Windows 10. I no longer am able to open more than one jpg file in Photoshop Elements 14 (so maybe this is a PE problem as don't have a problem with Word or Excel files?) If I select more than one it will open every one except the first one selected (usually though seems a bit random). This happens if I select them and press Enter or select, right-click and select Open. Does anyone have any thoughts please?

    (Also, not really related but when opening a file from explorer is there a way for it to keep focus rather than the relevant application?)

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Stephen

  2. Opening multiple files in file explorer

    Thanks for your reply Juzar - I'll see what Adobe say.

    Re my other question, if I open a jpg from File Explorer then Elements (or whatever relevant program one uses) comes to the foreground. The same with Excel etc. Usually this is fine, but am wondering if it's possible to keep Explorer in the foreground?

    Hi Stephen,

    As the issue is with the Photoshop, I suggest you to get in touch with Adobe as they can assist you better on the same.

    For the issue related to File explorer, please do let us know what do you mean when you say 'is there a way for it to keep focus rather than the relevant application'?

    Please get back to us with the above information so that we can assist you further.

    Thank you.

    Opening multiple files in file explorer

    Here I assume you want explorer to stay on top.
    One way is to install Moo0 Window Menu Plus (free).
    This adds options to the right click options displayed when you rt click the top left corner of most windows. One of these is 'on top'.

    I also still use Filebox Extender, which can add a button on the title bar for 'on top' also providing a visible indicator.
