#Acdsee 2019 how to#

This process didn't work for me (didn't work in 2019 version either). I have been manually redoing face recognition. I understand that embedded face data is supposed to carry over, but I can't confirm whether it does or doesn't. If embedding face data is available, then I suggest doing that before starting with step 1. I upgraded from 2019 and uninstalled it after Step 7, so I can't confirm whether it has the option of embedding the face data like 2020 does.

I could not figure out how to migrate my face data. Once complete, the new version will be set up just like you old version (presets actions etc.) OTHER THAN face data. Manually re-add your plugins from edit modeД§. Manually re-add your external editors from manage modeД¦. Select whatever checkboxes are appropriate (I think I chose to 'rebuild' info)ДҐ.

The converting wizard should automatically detect your database file (if you have multiple, then you will need to do that for each one if not detected, then you will need to locate the file using the prior version)Д¤. After optimization is complete, switch to your new version, and convert the database (tools>database>convert)ДЈ. Optimize database using the version you are upgrading fromДў. I don't know if OP will link the original post, but I eventually figured out something that worked (mostly):ДЎ. Please post a link to that previous post. Everything looks solid at this point - I suppose next I should 'Optimize'! LOL They were just fine.ДЄlso check if you set any External Editors, configure your Slideshow or Screensaver, and verify your Plugin Settings. There are some odds and ends that had to be setup.Д¬heck your Metadata View if you've customized it, and any custom Metadata Presets. 2020 does have some new settings on various screens, but once I went through and compared every page, things were settled down. I have 2 screens, which made it a lot easier side-by-side, and matched the Options. Eventually it completed, and all fields were fine.ДЄt this point, I still had to go through all of the Options, and compare the 2 programs side by side. I have 76,000 files(!) and I had to do this multiple times because the Cataloging would stop by itself in the middle of the process. He mentioned that this shouldn't really need to be done, but for some reason, whatever, I had to do a Catalog of all the Folders, and everything was fine.

He had me do a test on one subfolder -> Right-CLick on the Folder (on left side of screen) and run 'Catalog Files.' It worked, the fields were all populated correctly in that folder. I called Tech Support, and Andreas stepped through with me, and seemed to recognize the issue. I could see my list of Keywords and Categories as being available then.Д«ut - the ACDSee Metadata Keyword field did NOT show any info. 2019.ДЄfter installing 2020, I did Convert Database, which went quickly. Perhaps I wasn't using 2019 correctly, even though I thought I was? I had a long list of Keywords and Categories, working fine in Ult. I had a few hoops to jump through to go from Ult 2019 to Ult 2020 - not a show stopper, it's all good now, but a little puzzling.
