You can also choose to exclude folders from the database, and keep the contents of those folders separate from your other images
and media files.
When you add ACDSee Metadata to a file in ACDSee 14, the file is linked to the database. If you then copy, move, or rename
your files using programs other than ACDSee 14, such as Windows Explorer, the link to the database is broken and this can
cause the loss of ACDSee Metadata.
Embedding ACDSee Metadata in files
If you edit or add ACDSee Metadata to your files, ACDSee 14 automatically adds the new data to its database. If you have the Display
embed ACDSee metadata reminder check box selected in the Options dialog box (click Tools | Options | Database), next time
you close ACDSee 14, the Embed ACDSee Metadata in Files dialog box opens and offers to embed the new data into the changed files
themselves. Embedding ACDSee Metadata in the files as well, is a safe way to back up this data and make it easier to retrieve if you
should need to.
For example, once you have assigned ACDSee Metadata to a file, the file is linked to the database. If the file is moved using Windows
Explorer, or any application other than ACDSee 14, the link will be broken. However if you have embedded this data in the file and
the link is broken, you can still retrieve the ACDSee Metadata using the embedded data in the files.
You can use ACDSee 14 to rename, move, or copy the file—even to another computer—and the embedded ACDSee Metadata will
transfer with the file.
To embed ACDSee Metadata in a file when you are prompted:
1. Do one of the following:
To embed data in files that are on a network, select the Include Network Drives check box.
To write the information to a sidecar file if the file format does not support embedding inside the file, select the Write
sidecar files for formats that do not support embedded XMP.
To accept the current selection in the dialog and have these options happen automatically in future, select Do not ask
me this again.
2. Click Yes to embed the data in the files. A progress bar appears, followed by the Embed Summary Report dialog that lists
the following:
Items Selected: Indicates the number of files that you selected.
Items Processed: Indicates the number of files actually that were processed. (If you selected files that did not need to
have date embedded, this number may be different from the Items Selected.)
Succeeded: Indicates the number of files that had data embedded.
Failed: Indicates the number of files that, for a variety of reasons, could not have data embedded. (To see the Error Log,
click View Errors.)
3. Click Close.
