Converteren Catalogus van elements 4 naar Elements 2018

Question

Ik probeer de catalogus van mijn oude versie elements 4.0 van mijn oude afgedankte PC nu te converteren op mijn nieuwe PC met Elements.

2018. Maar dat lukt niet en de 'temp' file bevat geen nadere indicatie waardoor het fout gaat:

- het maken van de backup catalogus vanuit de oude versie is gelukt

- de fotobestanden worden opnieuw gegenereerd en gevuld op de nieuwe computer onder 'afbeeldingen' / 'adobe'.

- maar het converteren van de catalogus zelf geeft de foutmelding dat het niet is gelukt.

- de tips en suggesties op de Adobe website leiden niet tot een oplossing.

Vragen:

- kan de conversie van 4.0 naar 2018 überhaupt wel in één keer?

- wie heft suggesties voor een oplossing?

Michel,yes I did as you suggeted in your first reaction. As you can see in the logfile a lot of actions during the conversion are succesfull, but renaming the catalog file failed. I wonder what the reason for that failure is. Have you any suggestion? h.p.z27090863 wroteMichel,yes I did as you suggeted in your first reaction.

Have you any suggestion? f I understand well, you get an error message (conversion failed) but you get a file named 'catalog.pse16db'.Then, create somewhere a folder in which you'll paste a copy of that catalog.pse16db database file.Double click on that file. I hope that will open the organizer 2018 with the converted catalog. Wait for the other missing catalog components to be re-created from scratch (thumbnail cache...)If that works, the new folder is the converted catalog. It is in 'custom' workspace, so you might want to move it to the default catalog location from the menu File > Manage catalogs with the button 'Move' which will open a submenu to move the catalog either for you or for other users of your computer.Edit:I just managed to convert an old PSE5 catalog.Using the converter software, I got a new folder with a catalog.pse13db file (version 13 - 64 bits format).Using File > manage catalog in PSE2018, I did a catalog conversion to version 2018 which was successful.

Did you try the following help file?Converteer-organizer-catalogus-elements-13-64 Converting from version 4 (Microsoft Access database engine) to version 13 or newer (sqlite database engine) requires another conversion step.
