The images scroll left (previous) when I use the wheel to scroll up or down. Works fine in version 2.5 and other programs.     immersed on "Bugs and more" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/bugs-and-more#post-45380 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:00:09 +0000 immersed 45380@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ I like the new display but I feel this time ACDSee are more like the "Bill Gates" crew,  by bringing a new product to the market and leaving it to the consumer to test. As I mentioned in a previous Topic after sharpening and saving an image, I find later on viewing the same image in ACDSee it is less sharp than the image I worked on. On "Crop". Each time I return to Crop an image in regardless of crop size I must click the size twice since the first showing eg: 3x2 does not crop to this ratio. This is not a fault but slows your workflow. Why is there not the function to display only the your prefered tools (icons - version 2.5) I hate having to scroll down a list just to crop, lighten, sharpen etc. Why is there no way to deactivate the the saving of Original and Developed folders. This function to me may benefit the few but personally just cloggs up my Harddrive and cost me more time in having to delete. I hope an Update will be following this new version soon in addressing these issues and others listed here too. carlosy on "Customization of the any toolbar not saved" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/customization-of-the-any-toolbar-not-saved#post-43710 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:45:54 +0000 carlosy 43710@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ Hello, The customization of any toolbar is not saved after I restart the computer.

Scrambled search panel.  Hopefully will be fixed before next couple of years ..... ;-) problems coming from 2.5.  2) Search does not permit a search based on the major exif field. For example, If I need to do a search for portrait or landscape pictures, I can't 3) Doesn't use the standard "de facto" ratings used by Microsoft and Adobe. I have a DB of 20k photo and the majority are rated using that system. 4) Doesn't give the possibility, as other softwares do, to embed xmp info (tag, i.e.) into raw files. I hate the .xmp file added to each raw. Why don't permit this? it could be a configurable choice.   All the rest would be really well done, but that missing feature are showstopper to me. dani on "Database problem" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/database-problem-1#post-45377 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:23:13 +0000 dani 45377@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ Hi to everybody.

I have tried optimizing the database, everything short of uninstalling and reinstalling pro 2.5.  anyone else run into this?  currently I'm having to transfer images to disk using the operating system, and then use batch processing to write exif/iptc data. I should add that when I try to import, I am having the importer create a new subfolder based on todays date.  that subfolder IS being created properly, it just will not transfer the image files.  it reads them because it pulls up the filenames and thumbnails correctly, it just wont transfer them. tdi on "ACDSee doesn't like filename..." http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/acdsee-doesnt-like-filename#post-45279 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:21:36 +0000 tdi 45279@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ I shot 11 portraits the other day, and one of the files, IMG_238.jpg wont display the thumbnail and wont come up in view.  if I rename it to IMG_238a.jpg it works just fine.  I can rename it to anything I want actually, and it works just fine, but if I rename it BACK to IMG_238.jpg, it won't come up... just black screen. I have optimized the database, deleted the file and reinstalled from the card, copied image from card to another directory where it works just fine, then copy back into my working directory and it won't show again. Stupid crap.  I'm sure the database is the problem, what else could it be?  some glitch in the database that wont allow it to show and won't clean up in maintenance.  I really wish they would make ACDSee so you could turn the database off if you aren't using it. don_1953 on "ACDSee and Windows 7" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/acdsee-and-windows-7#post-44411 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:55:26 +0000 don_1953 44411@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ Is anyone using ACDSee Pro 2.5 with the full release of Windows 7? I can't remember which version of ACDSee I was using when the final version of Windows Vista was released, but it was several months before ACDSee had a version that would work in Vista. I wound up having to reformat my hard drive and go back to Windows XP to have ACDSee working again. I never did get around to reinstalling Vista and have been quite happy with XP in any case. I do want to upgrade to Windows 7, but not if ACDSee won't work. If there is any support info on Windows 7 on the ACDSee website, panomanic on "Pro Beta 1-1-148 on Snow Leopard application not responding" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/pro-beta-1-1-148-on-snow-leopard-application-not-responding#post-42302 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 04:58:37 +0000 panomanic 42302@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ I've downloaded ACDSee acdseeprobeta-1-1-148-mac-en for Mac, OS X Snow Leopard, Mac Mini Core 2 Duo 4 GB.

I have followed the procedure which reproduces in Pro 3 the categories I set up in v.7 so I assume these must be stored in Application Data\ACD Systems\Catalogs\70\Default. However the conversion does not assign any images to the categories and the captions, notes and keywords assigned to the images fail to appear. I assume, but don't know, that this data must therefore be stored elsewhere. I keep my images in various folders and subfolders under My Pictures but these folders are not accepted by the conversion procedure as a valid database. Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong and what I should do to effect a complete database conversion?  Any help will be much appreciated.

It seems that actual users views don't really count for much as the one thing that dozens have asked for was that if an image was double clicked from explorer or other program (outside of ACDSee Pro 3) then (if Quick View has been switched on in options) the ESC key should just exit back to explorer instead of (currently) exiting full screen and then having to press ESC again to exit back to explorer .... but then not only that when Quick View is loaded the very next time - you have lost the Full Screen setting !!!!! Even in the main program the ESC key doesn't work as users would want. If you're in Full Screen "View Mode" then pressing ESC just leaves full screen and doesn't go back to "Manage" mode.... This simple request for the ESC key behaviour must be too much to ask for when obviously programmers know best!!!! they always want to fix thingsthat aren't broken by re-inventing the wheel with a shiny new square one. I can't advise any of my many many customers and colleagues to buy it as it stands.

After this action I am not able to compare any of these images. In ACDsee 2.5 it works fine with the same images. Coverting these images to another format without metadata solves this error, but leaves me without exif data.

My biggest issue is image distribution to various folders and subfolders. Even after downloading the Pro 3 trial I still can't determine if Pro 3 (or 2009, for that matter) supports some method of allowing the user to setup hotkeys to distribute the file currently showing in the viewer to various folders... For example, I would like something akin to this: CTRL+Numeric Keypad 1:  Move file to folder path E:\People CTRL+Numeric Keypad 9:  Move file to folder path G:\Misc\Animals Numeric Keypad +:  Move file to folder path G:\Misc\Animals\Horses Failing that, how about being able to assign hotkeys to categories, i.e.: CTRL+Numeric Keypad 1:  Assign file to category: People CTRL+Numeric Keypad 9:  Assign file to category: Animals Numeric Keypad +: Assign file to category: Horses   Failing all of that, what organization techniques are available that do NOT require mousing in either product?  Because ACDSee seems to provide no good organization techniques that do not require mouse interaction.  Is there some other tool that I could use for this purpose?
