Known Issues

• Negative Mask Shift values subtract mask from the edge of the image.
• Image doesn’t fit display when app is moved to another monitor and Full Screen enabled.
• File List items are sorted by name if items are uncatalogued and sort method is based on EXIF or IPTC metadata.
• Find Duplicates tool doesn’t work with iCloud Drive.
• Move to Trash will not work on images stored on cameras.
• Batch Copy and Batch Move will not work for images stored on cameras.
• Cannot read any ACDSee Metadata embedded in BMP, CUR, DDS, EXR, GIF, HDR, ICO, JP2, MEF, PBM, PSD, or TGA.
• Import ignores video portion of Live Photos. Workaround: use ACDSee Mobile Sync.
• ACDSee does not support multiple clients connecting to the same database. ACDSee will become unresponsive if trying to connect to a database that is already open in another instance of ACDSee.
• Heal and Clone tools source circle appears in the wrong location when the image has geometry settings saved.
• Keyboard shortcuts assigned to commands that can be renamed (such as Categories, Batch Presets, External Editors) need to be re-assigned if command is renamed.
• The Watermark tool’s Center button doesn’t center watermark for all images in the batch if images are different sizes.
• Writing a Spotlight Comment fails with error “Source file not found”.
• Dragging keyword tokens from the Properties pane Keywords input field to the Search bar fails to return matching items if the keyword is hierarchical. Workaround: drag the keyword from the keyword list.

Notes

• 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.
