Converteren Catalogus van elements 4 naar Elements 2018

[h_p_z27090863]

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?

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.

Dank voor deze tip. de conversie lijkt 'gedeeltelijk 'gelukt (er is een nieuwe map gecreëerd met een nieuw catalog bestand PSE16DB , maar ik krijg toch weer de melding dat de conversie niet is gelukt. Dit staat in de logfile:

Can you please make sure that previous version of photoshop elements is closed.

[h_p_z27090863]

The old version of Elements was only active on my old computer; so that cannot be the reason for this problem.

Did you use the conversion tool described in this paper?

Convert-organizer-catalog-elements-13-64

I did, and that worked perfectly for my PSE4 files.

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?

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.

Michel,

thanks for your advise; I managed to convert the old catalog to Elements 2018 in the way you suggested.
