Hello!
I use ACDSee Pro 10 to keep track of a Image Archive (to quickly find images out of my stock etc.) All those Images are in zip archives (to reduce file count on the server which uses a file based parity system). To prefent clients from corrupting or modifing files the archive is a "Read Only" share.
Accessing the images is no problem but since the files are read only i cant use the IPTC and EXIF tags to catalog my Files, instead i am forced to use the ACDSee Metadata system (nothing wrong with that). My Problem now beeing i need to save some string type data for every image. This sadly cant be done with ACDs hierarchy tag system since its already used to describe a pictures content.
I found some information on the Forum that said i cant create any custom fields for ACD Metadata, so i need to reporpuse the existing ones. To do this i need to know which field can store what type of information (and how many of it).
For example: I notices the field called "Etikett" in German ("Tag" in english i gues? Its the one that gets used to store the red yellow blue green and purple colour Tags) can also store text, but how much? And will this cause any problems with database performance?
