You can (should) make regular backups of your database (Tools/Database/Backup Database) which would give you the option of "Restoring" from a backup should the database become corrupted, but that again assumes the addressing in the backup database is still correct. For some reason the installation of Windows 11 appears to have broken that relativity, and the only "fix" I am aware of is to either rebind or to Catalog. It does however depend on the imported database being correctly linked to the images it refers to, and in your situation I suspect that wasn't the case. The Tools/Database/Import/Database Wizard would normally be used to "import" from a previously "exported" compressed read only database. On that subject I recommend having the database/s on a local (but not the operating system drive), as this provides better performance than having them on an external drive, and it also avoids the problems of corruption if the external drive is de-powered before a write out of the data has been completed. I can understand having to replace the database after installing Windows 11, if the database was on the operating system partition or drive, but I don't know why you would want to "Import" the database if it is elsewhere, rather than simply using File/Database/Open to open it where it is (or was), unless perhaps you actually wanted to move it from where it was to another location. Is this another local hard drive or SSD on the PC, or an external USB hard drive, or perhaps a NAS drive? I'm not sure what you mean by "separate drive". If I end up having to re-install Windows down the road, what's the best way to import a database if I have it on a separate drive?It might depend on what arrangement you have. I have over 3 terabytes of photos all properly tagged with keywords, and I really don't want to loose all of that info! Thanks in advance for any help! They were all on the separate hard drive, but since doing the fresh install of Windows, I am having issues getting the data base to load.Īny help would be GREATLY appreciated. I have not moved any of the photos from the drive, nor has I done anything with the database files. I am almost certain when I first re-installed ACDsee that the importing of the database worked, But now, it is not working. I had the database and the entire photo collection on a separate drive, and I embedded all the Metadata into the photos when sorting them.I always went into tools>metadata>embed ACDsee meta data>embed all. Or 2.) This item may have been moved or deleted outside of ACDsee, resulting in orphaned database information." This could indicate one of the two possibilities: !.) This item may belong to a disconnected network folder (with it does not). If I goto the 'catalog' tab and look under my keywords, I can click on a keyword and it finds images that the keyword has.But when I double click on the image to open it, I get an error message that says "ACDSee Photo Studio could not locate the file on your system, however there is a record of it in your Database. I think the data base as working when I did it, but now it's not. When I installed Windows 11 and I had to re-install ACDsee, I tried to import that database but I don't think I did it correctly. Under Windows 10, I had ACDsee installed on my C drive but I had my database saving to a secondary hard drive that had all my pictures on it. I installed it and made my database on Windows 10, but recently did a fresh install of Windows 11. I have ACDsee photo studio Ultimate 2021. The simplest way would probably be to create a new account and install any updates of ACDsee when they become available.įrom memory, ACDSee does not issue that many updates, so shouldn't be a problem - although it annoys me that my system seems to have update problems with ACDSee.Īny other program I am running do updates fine.I hope someone can help me out here. I think, if I create a new account and transfer old to new, it will only be a matter og time before the same problem occurs. without problems.Īnd then, today ACDSee is not able to update to Version 16. September 29, ACDSee 2023 is updated to Version 16. On 20 August I updated Windows 10 to Windows 11, Version 21H2 Build 22000.856 I then installed ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2022, Version 15.1 Build 2922. It was restored to Windows 10, version 20H2, which was the O/S that was shipped with my system a few years back. I did a complete Factory Reset of my Dell XPS 8930 on 18 August this year. I can't see anything in Event Viewer - nothing seems to have been triggered at the time of installation.
