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 14, 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 14 or ACD mPower
Tools, and add it to your current database. This ensures that any information associated with your files using a previous version of
ACDSee 14 is referenced properly in the current database.
If you have already added information to your current ACDSee 14 database, it is recommended that you create a backup of
your database before converting an older ACDSee 14 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.
5. To automatically update your database after converting, select the Optimize database files after convert check box.
6. Click Next.
7. On the Summary page, review your selections, and then click Next to convert your database.
Importing database information
You can use the ACD Database Import Wizard to import archived database information, or to import database information that was
sent to you with images from another ACDSee 14 user. After you import the information, ACDSee 14 associates it with the
appropriate images.
If you have already added information to your current ACDSee 14 database, it is recommended that you create a backup of
your database before converting an older ACDSee 14 database.
