Hello, I don't know how many years I've been pointing out the incorrect processing of the “altitude” geo tag. Unfortunately, the error still hasn't been fixed. What's so difficult about correctly processing a decimal number with decimal places? It's not just a display problem. No—it's also incorrect in the database. The error has consequences: The action “write tags to file” now writes this incorrect value to the file, and all other programs that work with geodata receive the incorrect value as input. The error has consequences: The action “write tags to file” now writes this incorrect value to the file, and all other programs that work with geodata receive the incorrect value as input.

Hello, The MP4 video files have geocoordinates in the XMP tags of the xmp sidecar file. ... GPS Latitude 47 deg 40' 55.83" N GPS Longitude 9 deg 17' 46.62" E ... These appear to be read, because the marker for the MP4 file's geodata is active on the map. However, the geodata for MP4 files is not displayed in the Properties panel. Geo data belongs to the “Image” section in the Properties panel. Is this the reason why it is not displayed? regards, Uwe

Hello, Several builds of version 10.3 have been released in the meantime, most recently 3447. Unfortunately, there is no information about what has been updated or corrected. Please provide information. Best regards, Uwe

Can someone confirm that daminion client needs to be started with admin rights in order to work? Is that new? I hat to change the setting to "start as admin" in order to get it running.

It is hard to do because it takes loooong time to open Task Manager and to see processes... Finally, I was able to do it few times, cannot see anything obvious, typical picture is like that, see below... Even Daminion does not show high resource consuming, when it happens. No, nothing was installed intentionally, unless regular windows/apps updates. I am not using antivirus other than embedded with windows... I am also using Adobe Lightroom Classic, but I have no problem after using it for long time consecutively, if I am using it alone, with no running Daminion.

It seems that the problem is not related to the re-installation and whatever I described above. When I tried to do a report for tech support, I got the error message that daminion cannot write to the "temp" folder. Therefore I had the idea that the problem might have to do with access rights. I can start daminion client whis admin rights, but not the conventional way. I would rather think the problem is related to a recent windows 10 update. Ports used (Daminion Server, Administration/Catalogues): Ports: 8082/8084 Version/Port: PostgreSQL Server 12 64 bit/5432

Hi! Have checked what are the ports used by Daminion (at server) after your reinstall and have you looked at the client side what catalogs are available?

My Daminion was running fine since years. Recently, I tried to connect via the html URL and got the error message shown at the bottom of this posting I then clicked on "Erneut Installieren" (something like re-install) right from the "IIS: Installiert (Version 10.0)" Information line in the server settings. Since that, my daminion client does not start any more. Server is up and running on the same computer, but nothing happens when I try to start the client. No werror message. Just nothing. I already tried to re-install client and server without success. Any Idea? Thanks, Jens _____________ Serverfehler in der Anwendung /daminion.

Hi Daria, ok when home i will order the upgrade.

Hi Rene, There was a bug in v 9.5 with the auto-sync. It would be better to first upgrade to v 10.3

My Daminion Version is 9.5 (3574) Server: Windows Server 2019 Standard Intel Xenon CPU E31225 @ 3.10 GHz 16 GB RAM How to get the unsynced to sync?

Hi Rene, what is your current version and your system's specs? This indicates the number of files that have tags in the catalog but those tags have not been written into the metadata of the files.

Hi everyone, I encountered an issue today while uploading new photos. My usual process is: Place photos in a folder on the drive. Click Resync or Auto-Resync. However, this time, Daminion only synced 63 out of 300+ photos and got stuck for over 4 hours—the rest never processed. Additional question: What does "Unsynced" mean in Saved Searches? Is it related to this issue? there I have something like 30000 Any insights or fixes would be appreciated! thank you

Thanks Uwe, now i see it

you see it in the Thumbnail View (F9) but not in the Compact View (F10)

Dear Daminon Users, I have a question regarding color labels: We use color labels to organize photos—for example: Brown (8): Marks photos for deletion Red (1): Indicates photos to be ordered in A4 format While these labels are visible in the web browser, they don’t appear in the Windows client. Is this a known limitation, or is there a setting to enable this feature? Thank you for your help! Windows Client: Browser Client:

Thank you Daria, I will give it a try.

Hi Rene, Yes, please set the sorting to None, In that case the files will be sorted by hash value and the duplicated will be shown next to each other. If duplicated significantly differ in size or format, they are considered similar images, not duplicates. Please use the Similar Images saved search in that case.

Hi Serge, Please open Task Manager and see if there are any background resource consuming apps that are running when you perform the described actions in Daminion? Anything that has been installed over the last few months? Adobe Apps, new Antivirus?

I have recently observed situation when Daminion gets to work very slow, I would actually say - extremely slow, screen update takes minutes. It has never happened before, but during last month I have observer this problem already multiple times. It happened not all the time, seems like problem appears when I do some search, especially using Saved Search. Seems like it never happens when I do just tag assignments. When it happens - it actually slows down not only Daminion, but the whole computer becomes very slow. Have performed Catalog -> Optimize from Daminion menu, seems like it was not helpful. My configuration: I am a private user (Home Server License, one concurrent user), using Daminion for 10 years, since 2015 I am active photographer hobbyist, my family members are also hobbyists-photographers, so my catalog is kind of big 🙂 - 370K+ photos. But I am the only one who is tagging photos, so I am the only one user of Daminion. I keep all photos on the Synology NAS, Daminion is on my computer so, Daminion is accessing photos over the network (wired gigabit). My computer is under Windows 11 Pro, 32GB RAM, 4TB SSD drive. Network works good enough, no problem with other applications. Daminion version is 7.8.0 (build 2900), have updated the license in 2021. Yes, I know, version is old, but I am ok with set of features of this version. And maintenance period is, of course, expired, so I have no free updates anymore 😞. Are there any suggestions, recommendations?

Hi there, It’s been a while since I last worked with photos, and I’ve just started again—but I’ve run into a few issues with duplicate detection. Duplicate Display Behavior When I click "Show Duplicates," I expected to see one image followed by its suggested duplicates. Instead, it shows various unrelated images. Is this the intended behavior, or should it group duplicates together? Advanced Duplicate Sorting Would it be possible to implement more refined duplicate handling? For example: Prioritizing larger files: If duplicates differ in size (dimensions or file size), display the larger version first—especially useful for scanned analog images where higher resolution is preferable. File type prioritization: When duplicates include different formats (e.g., RAW + JPEG), show the original RAW file first, followed by derived formats like JPEG. This would make managing duplicates much more efficient. Are these features already available, or could they be added in the future? Thanks for your help!

Hello Daria. Thank you for your answer, and apologies for my late reply. I have noticed improvements in the past, when I tried Face Recognition again. It seems to work better, at least the list is getting shorter when assigning names to the list of photos. Daminion is 10.0.0 (Build 3652) / FR is 2.0.0.924 So I guess this issue can be closed - your constant support always very much appreciated. One thing that hasn't really changed for me, in terms of UI design : While confirming yes/no to suggested faces and names, there is a button at the bottom which is 'Load more...', which is fine. But I haven't grasped how to find out how long the complete list will be / how many more faces/names will have to be confirmed until the list is empty. A total amount of items in the list of tab 'Unnamed faces' would be nice, just to know if it'll be 50 or 5000 entries to confirm suggested names for faces. The basic 'paging' UI pattern (Page 1 of 10 / 20 items per page) would also work here I think - unless technical reasons prohibit. Thanks Daria!

Hello, a question for discussion: How should the information "Imported from" be understood? Example: 1. a photo was imported on 20.5.2025 by user xyz 2. on 25.6.2025 the same photo was adjusted by the action “Open with...” in an external program. For example, the tonal values were changed, but no other changes were made. Then the external program saved the photo under the same name and overwrote it. 3. the “Read tags from file” action updated the photo/data in the catalog. 4. the original import date 20.5.2025 was not changed by the “read tags from file” action, although it is a “different photo” due to the external change. The photo file naturally has different timestamps in the file data (last change etc.) due to the external change Hence my question: does the action "read tags from file" have to recognize the external change and set a new import date - in this case 25.6.2025, because the photo is no longer the same as on 20.6.2025? regards, Uwe

Hello, every now and then the Linking Panel does not open. The cause is a change in the Settings.xml. There, for whatever reason, by whom? and unpredictable, the value "visible" is set from “true” to “false”. Please Daminion: find the cause and fix the error. It should not become the rule that I then have to make the adjustment manually every time. Regards, Uwe <bar name="linkedItemsBar" dockline="0" layout="2" dockoffset="0" state="1" dockside="0" fpos="6587,42,626,1277" visible="true"> <items> <item name="dockContainerItem8" origBar="" origPos="-1" pos="0" /> </items> </bar> PS. if the error has occurred, the parameter is also present in "item name": visible="false"
