I had an older Canon model with ZoomBrowser 1.1 -- then got a new Canon with ZoomBrowswer EX.
When I try to open any of the old databases from ZB EX, I get an error message to the effect that the database has an older format, and to update it to the new format -- but does not offer a clue as to how to do that! It also says that the change is too great for (and I quote) "the update menu item deal with". Brilliant. So I must assume it is possible, but I don't know how. I would like to know. I would think that instructions would normally follow a direction to do something unfamiliar...
It finally states that "This version of ZoomBrowser EX uses Database format 8.0, the file format is 5.0".
Of course I could just put the files into a folder and have ZB EX build a new library, but the all of the camera settings and the date the photo was taken (etc.) would not be available.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue???
Thanks.
