It’s highly recommended to embed ACDSee Metadata prior to importing or restoring a database from a previous version of ACDSee.
When importing a previous version’s database, please ensure the previous version of the application is closed.
Importing a previous version’s database may cause the Date Modified timestamp to update but does not modify the actual contents of the database.
Apps require permission before directly accessing files in certain folders and external volumes. Please allow ACDSee to access files when prompted, or as follows: go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Files and Folders, find ACDSee, and check the applicable boxes.
On the first run, the Import Databases tool offers importing the default database of previous versions. If you wish to import a custom database you created in a previous version instead, please close the Import Databases dialog and then use the Restore Database tool (in the Tools menu) and select the database you wish to restore.
