To Use:
DP5 will install in parallel with DP4, so you have both on your machine, but please only run one at a time! It creates a new catalog automatically. As you catalog your images with it it will automatically create Categories & Keywords for any of your existing ones which are recorded in your images as IPTC data. DP5 will try to use your existing previews if it can.
Importing your Keywords, Categories and Ratings from DigitalPro 4.3:
If your image metadata is all either shooting data or stored with the file (like IPTC and XMP) then you don't need to do anything. Just start using DigitalPro 5 and as you browse your images will be re-cataloged--or use the Right-Click "Catalog Folder" command in the file cabinet.
But if you have image information youv'ed only saved with your DP4 catalog you can export it and import it into DP5. To do this:
Install & Run DP 4.3.9 (First make sure you are running 4.3.7, and then download the special 4.3.9 Executable which allows you to export your Catalog data. Save the 4.3.9 exe on top of your installed DigitalPro4.exe)
Then Run the Catalog->Export for use with DigitalPro 5 command. If you don't see the command when you launch DigitalPro 4.3.9 simply go to the right of the main Menu bar, press the small "down/menu" arrow and choose "Add or Remove Buttons->Main Menu->Reset Toolbar" to force it to appear.
The Export will create a DigitalPro4_Export.xml file.
Then download DP5 version 4.8.15 or later. Run Catalog->Import Catalog. If you've placed the export file in your catalog folder it will run automatically. If not you'll need to browse for it. Just let it run and it will import the keywords and categories first, followed by all your image priorities & Ratings. It won't hurt any information you already have in your new catalog. You can then add to your catalog like normal (by browsing or using the right-click "Catalog folder" menu in your filing tree).
NOTE: If you want information about particular images to be exported & imported make sure they are online and accessible when you run the Export & Import commands.
NOTE: If you have trouble running DigitalPro 4 after installing DP5 you may need to go to your \Program Files\DigitalPro folder and remove the DLL files, then re-run the DP4.3.7 installer (Choose Repair) to install the correct versions.
