1. Re: Windows Find File can't find Camera Raw.8bi though it's there
John_Cornicello_Photo Mar 6, 2008 11:23 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)It worked fine for me in XP. Do you have Windows set to hide filename extensions? That is the only thing I can think of. I have it set to show all filename extensions.
It actually found 15 copies on my pc, some of them within Zip files.

John Joslin Mar 7, 2008 3:41 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)Very strange! Explorer found all the older versions which I had squirrelled away on another drive, but it didn't find the one quite plain to see in the right place!
Classic view, hidden files set to show.
I wonder what else Adobe is hiding from us! -

Rob Keijzer Mar 8, 2008 11:44 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)Still not found out why this is. Stared at the screen, then at the computer cabinet, then at the screen again.
And again, it's on both my work computers with PS!
Instead of going berserk, I will now shut down the computers completely, and have an Irish Whiskey.

01af Mar 10, 2008 7:32 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)On my machine with both Photoshop CS2 and CS3 installed, using Windows Explorer to search for all *.8BI files in the C:\Program Files\ folder quickly turned up dozens of .8BI files, among them the two currently active Camera Raw.8bi plugin files (i. e. ACR 3.7 for CS2 and ACR 4.3.1 for CS3).

Rob Keijzer Mar 10, 2008 9:41 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)I've done some further testing. No matter what file I put in:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plugins\CS3\File Formats
Explorer can't find it. On both computers. All other folders are OK.
Rob
Edit: it can find it if I point to "Program Files". Not not if I point it to "C:\" or "My Computer".

PECourtejoie Mar 18, 2008 6:50 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)Gooïe dag, Rob!
Have you tried to tell the windows search to search for hidden or system files? (even if they are not flagged that way) -

John Joslin Mar 18, 2008 7:22 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)Mystery solved (for me at least) the "hidden files" box was ticked but the "system files" box wasn't!
Thanks Pierre. -

Rob Keijzer Mar 18, 2008 2:22 PM (in response to Rob Keijzer)Mmm, I remember I checked and saw that only the archive flag was set. No system nor hidden.
When I get to my desk I'll check!

Rob Keijzer Mar 20, 2008 2:13 PM (in response to Rob Keijzer)Hi Pierre,
Haven't had much time to play with the anomalies of the O/S yet. Been struggling with softboxes, windmachines and collapsing backdrops (pun!) again.
Will report back on this.
Promise.

11. Re: Windows Find File can't find Camera Raw.8bi though it's there
Rob Keijzer Mar 23, 2008 5:20 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)Ok, That's ready (pffft!)
Now the file find problem. I put a check on the "hidden files" box, an now it actually finds it.
But it's not "hidden", nor "system". Just "archive".
So then I looked to see if any of the folders in the path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plugins\CS3\" was hidden, but no.
Fine. Heck, I got other things to do. It's not important. Faggettaboutit. Thanks for thinking with me!

That just about sums up my thoughts too. ;) -

PECourtejoie Mar 31, 2008 4:21 AM (in response to Rob Keijzer)Hi Rob, maybe is it only Windows/the search engine that "thinks" that this folder is hidden.
(Remember the very first time you tried to see the contents of program files, it was hidden, and you get a stupid warning telling you that you shouldn't mess with files there (as in the C:/windows folder) )
