AC fails to read meta data

[Emil]

The Database was converted from a copy of an optimized ACPro8 db in to a brand new ACPro13 db. The db contains 300,000 items stored on a network share....

I do remember discussions how to implement good and easy to use search functions covering all aspects of a db. That was in the nineties!

[Emil]

For the latest Ultimate it should be "HKCU\Software\ACD Systems\ACDSee Ultimate\130" (Haven't got this version installed.) If you've got several...

Did I understand you correctly? To quick search for a set of keywords in the folder tree for 2019 I would first need to display all files of that year...

[Emil]

I'm pretty sure the filmstrip view (F7) and the details view (F12) of the manage mode use the same value for the thumbnail size. It's name in "ThumbWidth"...

After cataloguing a large set of files I found that the amounts of images per year shown in the dashboard were to low. When browsing the files manage...

Imho, nowadays "Database Optimization" before converting a db also is a must.
Since a few versions we also need to check the categories...

Here's a small tut:

• Start AC
• Go to manage mode
• Press F12

Right click the table header and enable the following columns:

I read this too frequently. Instead of fixing the underlying bug, they suggest to delete a part of the registry.

13.02.1417 is the latest English version of ACDSee Pro.

As an admin, please acdsystems, never ever implement this, it's a nightmare. Create a tutorial instead, how to use the different dates....

[Emil]

You probably just added a keyword, caption, author ore whatever to the meta data. This changed the file and thus the modified date was touched. After...

2018-03-04 is the day the photos was taken. 2019-10-02 is the date the file was modified for the last time. The table "View by date" isn't able...

[Emil]

Yep, that's one of the more stable versions, none of the younger versions passed our quality inspection. I still prefer Ultimate 8!!, but also have the...

I just edited the cleared post and got this after clicking the "Save" button:

Afaik AC can't export KML or GPX files.

But it shouldn't be very difficult to write a script and use Exiftool to do this. Such a script...
