The first thing I'd try to figure out is if the info did in fact ome over but is simply not associated with the images properly. Instead of browsing your files according to their folders location, what happens if you browse using, say, the Calendar? Do you get any thumbs? Does accessing the images this way display captions when it should? And if you double click one, do you see the image, or an error that it can't be found?
If the Calendar shows no humbs (except perhaps the files you've already tried examining with Pro 2.5), then indeed, nothing came over. I'd try running Database->Convert Database to simply try converting again - seems some people have seen situations where the automatic conversion on install fails but doing it explicitly later works for some reason. If that doesn't work, the next thing to try would be temporarily going back to v7, *exporting* your database to a text, then importing that into Pro 2.5. Other people have also had success by first installing an intermediate version like 8, 9, or 10, converting the db to that, then converting from that to 2.5.
On the other hand, if the Calendar shows thumbs, and those thumbs show captions but you cannot access the images, then the info is there and you'll simply have to run Database Maintenance (the Change Binding operation) to hook up the info with your actual images.
