If you are importing database information sent to you by another ACDSee 14 user, ensure that the images to which the
information applies are in an identical location and folder structure on your hard drive.
Importing file information from other sources
You can import file information into your database from other sources, including ACDSee Photo Discs and files from previous
versions of ACDSee.
Importing Photo Discs
Previous versions of ACDSee (versions 4.0 and 5.0) created separate database files with a .ddf file extension for Photo Discs. You
can import the Photo Disc database files into your ACDSee 14 database.
To import a Photo Disc:
1. In Manage mode, click Tools | Database | Import, and then select Photo Disc.
2. In the Open dialog box, locate and select the photo disc file you want to import.
3. Click Open.
To import the information from Photo Discs created with ACDSee 6.0 or later, you must convert and import the entire
database.
Importing albums
In previous versions of ACDSee, you could create albums in an .ais file format that consisted of organized shortcuts to your images.
Now you can use categories to create albums of images that do not require a separate file extension. You can, however, import your
albums from previous versions of ACDSee, and add the information from the albums to the database. ACDSee 14 creates a new
category for each album you import.
To import album information into the database:
1. In Manage mode, click Tools | Database | Import, and then select Album.
2. In the Open dialog box, locate and select the .ais file you want to import.
3. Click Open.
Working with descript.ion files
In previous versions of ACDSee, file descriptions were stored in a separate descript.ion file in each folder that contained images.
ACDSee 14 now stores file descriptions as captions in the database, along with other file information such as notes and keywords.
