[Digikam-users] Digikam-users Digest, Vol 118, Issue 4

Mon Mar 9 14:42:23 GMT 2015

Hi, Thanks to all!
I suppose, that Francis "solved" my problem. I had used ACDSee from version
8 and now I use ACDSeePro 7. Version 10 (if I remember correct) ACDSee
begin to embed properties into the files itself. I see that like this: I
burn some foto files to cd rom disk without any database. Only .JPG file OR
both .RAW files and .XMP files. Then I go and read cd with another
computer, where I have installed ACDSee program. Then I give command
Catalog files and ACDSee reads all properties from my files and put them in
its own database. Also sutch properties, whitch are not in the database
formerly.
But I use, ofcourse, hierarcical categories, for instance Rekki (my family
name)/Heikki (my foname), Marjatta (my wife)... and so on. In windows I
didn't find any of these categories, no in .jpg files or in .raw and .xmp
files (Yes, both of yhem are in sama folder with the same filename.) I
couldn't see top categiry (Rekki) or subcategorie (Rekke/Heikki).
If the truth is this, as Farcis sade, it is impossible to me to change
Windos to Linux, and that is very pity.[?]
Heikki
