Performing advanced database tasks

You can perform tasks on the database to backup and restore information, import

database information from earlier versions of ACDSee, and recover from errors.

You can set options to automatically cache thumbnails and to move the database

to a new location on your hard disk drive.

Changing the binding of a folder

If you reformat a drive and restore the files from a back-up, or if you remove a fold-

er in Windows® Explorer™, the database information associated with any images

is disabled. You can correct this by changing the binding of the drive or folder.

Important:

When rebinding it is necessary that you do not browse the folder that is being

rebound and that you restart ACDSee immediately after rebinding.

To change the binding:

1 In the Database Maintenance dialog box. right-click a drive or folder, and

from the shortcut menu, select Change Binding. This option is avail-

able only when it is possible to rebind the drive or folder.

2. In the Folder Binding dialog box, click the Change Binding button.

3. Browse to the new location of the folder.

4. Select the folder.

5. Click OK.

If the moved folder was removed from the database (using the Remove

Folders option) then it is not possible to locate the folder in Step 2. You

cannot change the binding.
