Known Issues

• Assigning metadata via the Batch tool fails if preceded by a Move or Copy action.

• Batch Copy operation hangs when “Place in subfolder” option is enabled, “Date” token added to the Name, and date format includes slash character (“/”). Workaround: In System Preferences > Language & Region > Advanced… > Dates, remove “/” from the desired format.
• Import ignores video portion of Live Photos. Workaround: use ACDSee Mobile Sync.

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.
• ACDSee writes metadata to a sidecar file in a hidden subfolder relative to the original file if filetype is HEIC.
• On first run, the Import Databases tool offers to import 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.

Compatibility: macOS 10.13 or later 64-bit
