Cataloging Files in the Database
ACDSee Pro automatically adds file information and thumbnails to the database as you browse. You can use the Catalog dialog box to
add groups of files to the database without having to first browse the folders. This can be particularly useful when using ACDSee
Pro for the first time, and when browsing or managing large collections of images as it reduces the loading time required for these
folders.
The first time you run ACDSee, you are prompted to catalog your files.
To catalog your files:
1. In Manage mode, click Tools | Database | Catalog Files.
2. In the Folders to Catalog section, select the check box next to the folders you want to catalog.
If you want to add folders that are not in the list, click Add folder, select the folders you want to include, and then click OK.
3. In the Options section, select the information to add to the database.
4. Click Start.
A progress bar shows your photos as they are cataloged.
5. Click Finish.
If you are cataloging a large collection of files, do not disrupt the process, or use other software while it is running. For
large file collections, it is best to run cataloging overnight.
Converting an Older Database
You can use the ACD Database Convert Wizard to take database information from previous versions of ACDSee Pro and add it to your
current database. This ensures that any information associated with your files using a previous version of ACDSee Pro is referenced
properly in the current database.
If you have already added information to your current ACDSee Pro database, it is recommended that you create a backup of
your database before converting an older ACDSee Pro database.
To convert an older database:
1. In Manage mode, click Tools | Database | Convert Database.
2. On the Welcome page, click Next to select your conversion options.
3. On the Database Convert Options page, specify the version of the database files you want to convert, as well as the folder
where the database files are located on your hard drive. Click Next.
4. To automatically rebuild image thumbnails, IPTC and EXIF information after the conversion process is complete, select the
Rebuild thumbnails, EXIF and IPTC data for local images check box.
