Photoshopcs Question? Possible To Have Open File Appear As Thumbnails And Arrange By Modified?

[user name]

Everytime I want to open an existing file in Photoshop CS in order for me to find the last project I have been working on I have to right click---->Arrange Icons---> then choose Modified. The problem is that it never remembers this. It always resorts back to Alphabetical order? So the next time I want to open that project I have to do the whole RC--AI--M process all over again. What I would really like to do if at all possible is to have the open file "box" appear as thumbnails and arranged as modified.....Any know if this is possilbe?

Assuming that you're using Windows XP, here's what you need to do. When OPEN WINDOW appears, see at the bottom left corner of that window. You'll see a button titled "USE ADOBE DIALOG". Click it and the view will be changed to Adobe Format. Now Select Right Click>>Arrange BY>>Date Modified. If the last modified file is at the last of the list, repeat Right Click>>Arrange BY>>Date Modified once more. That's it.If you wanna use the previous settings, change the Dialog button to "USE OS DIALOG"

I don't see the USE ADOBE DIALOG? this is done by File, open (Ctrl+O) and this screen appears. I would like ti to some how save the settings as Thumbnail and arrange my modified. If I do it now, the next time I still have to go through the same process, it doesn't save it when I set it.

Well if you use (Ctrl+O) or double click left mouse button on a blank area in photoshop same thing happens and the window will look like this. I don't know why it isn't there in yours. What version of CS are you using?. Although photoshop also makes a record of your last 10 opened file. Just goto "FILE>>OPEN RECENT. I guess the setting you wanna do can't be done without ADOBE DIALOG cuz the browsing options you're using right now are that of your OS.

Hmmm... I have CS v8.0. That is odd that mine has no dialog button. I guess I'll use the browse instead of open for now on.

Would there be a way to have the browse box appear when double clicking a blank area instead of the open box?

Yes you can EDIT the Keyboard Shortcuts and preferences. Photoshop CS (Custom Select) has this option. Just goto EDIT>>KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS or press ALT+SHIFT+CTRL+K from your keyboard. Open the FILE MENU, click on the
shortcut and change it to whatever you like.
