I have used ACDSeePro fewmyears now and I have some thousands on photos<br>
that I have cataloged there. ACDSee bites me in Windows and I want to<br>
change to Linux users. Is there any possibility to import ACDSee metadata (<br>
all database properties) into DigiKam? ACDSee embeds all properties into<br>
photos, but I couldn't import them to DigiKam (in Windows).<br>

Hi Heikki,<br>
<br>
if ACDSee really embeds all properties into photos than my experience is<br>
that DigiKam will show them.<br>
<br>
So what special metadata do you searching for?<br>
<br>
You are sure that ACDSee does not store this data in a database outside<br>
of photos? You try to read all metadata inside DoigiKam from all your<br>
photos?<br>
<br>

I'm sure to have already hacked this kind of situation with ACDSee.<br>
<br>
At least, please share some image to check if metadata are imported in digiKam.<br>
<br>
Note : there are 3 situations possible :<br>
<br>
1/ information from ACDSee are stored in image file metadata.<br>
2/ information from ACDSee are stored in XMP sidecar.<br>
3/ information from ACDSee are stored in database.<br>
<br>
Only 1/ and 2/ are manageable by digiKam for interroperability. Do not<br>
ask me to import this information from a private database.<br>

ACDSee keeps metadata in its proprietary database by default. However,<br>
it has a command to embed them in picture files. So overall this should<br>
be doable.<br>
<br>
The only issue is whether some tags are used for the same purpose in<br>
DigiKam and ACDSee. In particular, ACDSee uses hierarchical<br>
categories---one of the most interesting features about ACDSee. Since no<br>
metadata model allows for this as standard, they use a fudge that I<br>
would not expect any other software to read. On a large collection, that<br>
would be a tedious manual process, unless you were good at scripting a<br>
text parser.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Francis<br>
