Hi Cincytriguy, You would need to remove Daminion Server, Daminion Client, and PostgreSQL from your machine. Then remove the following directories: - PostgreSQL Data Directory - its path will be indicated at the end of PostgreSQL uninstall - C:\Program Files\Daminion Software - C:\ProgramData\Daminion Software Please don't forget to create the backups of the catalogs prior to removing PostgreSQL. You can do it via Daminion server admin panel > Catalogs > select a catalog > actions > Backup. You will need them to restore the databases on the new machine. You can also copy the thumbnails to the new machine unless you want to let Daminion regenerate them after the installation. If any help is needed, please let me know. Kind regards, Daria

I'm on Daminion Server 8.4 and need to move it to another server host. I want to ensure all Daminion components are completely removed from the previous host. Is there a current topic or article that discusses how to do this?

Hi Uwe, unfortunately, this option is not available right now and is not planned to be added in the nearest releases.

Hello, how can I prevent IPTC metadata from being written? In the past I repeatedly had problems because parts of the IPTC content were cut off due to the length limit, while they were correct in the corresponding XMP metadata. It seems to me that IPTC has completely overslept the development towards XMP. With the old IPTC data, there are problems with umlauts if non-ASCII was written and the IPTC data does not contain any character set information. I can delete all IPTC metadata using the exiftool command -IPTC:all=, but I don't want to repeat this every time. I would therefore like to have a way of preventing the ITPC metadata from being written in the preferences. Best regards, Uwe

Also can't read this or enlarge the box:

I have the same issue with the properties panel and some items are cut off. Please make these windows adjustable.

Hi, These instructions don't seem to apply to ver. 10. This sync button is not there.

https://daminion.net/support/. this page has a user guide link that links to ver 6.2

Hi Juha, this is a known issue, we are working on it

I imported RAW images with 10.0 (3648), and with couple of test imports, I didn't have any issues. All portrait images were displayed as portrait. Also the import felt faster than with 9.5.

I was able to group two images and expand the group once immediately after the grouping. When I refreshed the main window which collapsed the group, I was no longer able to expand the group. Also, when I tried to do "Split group", nothing happened. And I have defined isSupportItemsGroup="true".

Hello, I use the groups in the same way as described by Juha. I use links when I develop a RAW photo as a TIF to use it in photo books. Some photos are used in different photo books and in different sizes, possibly also in color (color or black and white). This means that there can be links between one RAW photo and several TIFs. These are therefore never grouped. The group function (hide the RAW photos with the final TIF panorama on top) is an elementary function for me.

Should the flag be set in the file at header section common to all catalogs or per individual catalog? I regard grouping as an important feature to remove clutter from the catalog. E.g., a panorama consists of several raw images, developed TIFFs and the final panorama, all these are relevant assets, but only the final panorama is what I want to see per default. You write in your post that in the future the groups will be converted to file variants, can you open the planned functionality.

thanks for the info but I can't use version 10 because of the CTRL-T bug. Please send me an info when the CTRL-T bug is fixed.

Hello, Unfortunately, I cannot accept the answer. A function that has worked without problems for over 10 years now generates an unhandled exception and leads to program termination. From my point of view, there are only two possible solutions: 1. immediate bug fix 2. official information that Thunderbird is no longer supported. Indirectly, this already seems to have happened, because the online documentation only shows Outlook and GMail and the information that no MAPI-supporting EMail client is installed. As a consequence, the selection option must be removed. regards, Uwe

Starting with this version, the ability to group files is disabled by default in the desktop client. It is recommended to use linking of files to create links between them. For those users who used this feature, it is still possible to enable it via catalog configuration by adding or changing the parameter in the Program Files\Daminion Software\Daminion Server\catalogs.config isSupportItemsGroup="false" to isSupportItemsGroup="true" This is done in favour of search performance, as the feature causes problems even for those who don't use it. In the future it is likely that groups will be converted to file variants.

We’ve made it easier for you to stay updated on the latest releases! All new information is available on our blog and in the “What’s New” section of our website: Blog – Latest News What’s New To streamline your experience, the previous section that listed new releases is no longer updated, as it duplicated the content already available in these more accessible and detailed resources. We encourage you to check out these pages for all the latest updates!

To simply disable the recognition process, the installed module must be uninstalled from the system. In order not to receive warnings it is necessary to delete records from the database, I can not give you this information in the open, but if you have dealt with databases, I can send you instructions by e-mail.

Hello, you can use a utility https://www.win-acme.com/ to create a free certificate. You must have a domain and a dedicated ip address. You can also buy a certificate for your entire domain and it will be valid for all sites within your network, without the need for additional configuration.

Thanks for your recommendations, unfortunately there are less options for single users now. We only have the daminion server lite version. For any questions about pricing, it is better to contact us directly by filling out the contact form https://daminion.net/pricing/.

Can you provide more information at what point this happens. What actions do you perform during this in the client?

As of version 9.0, the regeneration of missing thumbnails is automatic. You can do it by selecting all files in the catalog and choosing refresh thumbnails, but it will take a very long time. It is better to just wait for the service to update them itself.

We found a few issues in tracking running processes and fixed them, check if the load is reduced in version 10

The list of fixes can be found at this link https://daminion.net/whats-new/ No need to write every time that it is not fixed, this problem is not yet taken into work, I can not say anything about the exact timing.

Please send me an example of such images. Rotation of thumbnail images is based on metadata, sometimes this data is not written correctly or there is a problem with reading it during import. It is best to rotate the image and record the changes in a file so that they are displayed correctly in other programmes
