How to extract from old ZoomBrowser

[jnwild]

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.

Hello,

Well, it's months later. Did anyone ever reply to you. I just posted today and I am desperate. I have the exact same problem you did and I am terrified I will lose my images.

If you found a resolution, could you please share one. Did you lose you images?

thank you
