3773 Trying to enable AI Auto-tagging

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 06:22:50 +0000

Hi there!

Giving a try to the AI Auto-tagging feature but I cannot seem to get any tagging 😞

I've enabled it here:

And selected AI Tagging over a couple of images, the first time I received a message saying something about the file being added to a queue. The popup window required to check the "don't show again" option to be able to close it so I checked it and don't see it anymore.

Do you know where to view that queue to see if something is getting stuck?

The key I created in openai.com looks like this:

Am I probably missing something I should enable? BTW, not using the Faces recognition feature yet so I do not have it installed.

Thanks for any ideas!

[3734] Update Issue

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 09:57:46 +0000

found this when opening Daminion today.

in the upper part it tells me that I'm running 10.3.0.3734 and that it is the most recent online. diretly below it tells me, that the most recent version is installed.

below it, it tells me there is a new release

Maximum user limit reached - users forget to log out

Fri, 24 Jun 2016 16:09:45 +0000

We only have a licence for three concurrent users. We find that sometimes a user may stop using the program, but leave it open on their computer. This often keeps other users from logging in.

I would like to see a system setting that the administers can set the number of inactivity minutes before a user would be automatically logged out by Daminion. This would really be a great help to us.

As it is, Daminion doesn't seem to have any way to tell the administrators what users are logged in. Having inactive accounts automatically logged out would be preferable to emailing all the users to see who can log out. Sometimes a user is gone for the day, leaving their computer running, and therefore no way to log them out if they are in a different location than I am.

3797 bugs?

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 18:54:59 +0000

I am long time Daminion home user, currently still have version 7. Thinking to update to newer version, has been a little bit confusing 🙂 with price, but it is another story, for another thread...

Here is a technical prospective - I have downloaded the latest Daminion v10.5.0 (build 3797), install it on brand new computer, have not entered any license information so, it works as a demo, and start playing with few thousand photos to try new features... Just in case - License Management screenshot is attached, picture #0. After short playing with it I see 3 (!) problems, which I have never seen on my old Daminion version... Below is the list of problems I have noticed...

1) Problem with GPS, it loses Longitude.
See attached screenshots #1,#2,#3
Screenshot #1: Photo with already missed Longitude, from previous attempts.
Screenshot #2: After have set the coordinates and perform Write Tags to File.
Screenshot #3: After make Read Tags from File. Latitude is there, but Longitude is missing again...
I am using Nikon NEF files (camera is Z8), with JPG seems like it works OK.
I am using setting "Write tags into EXIF/IPTC/XMP", have not tried with different setting.
All photos are located on the same Windows 11 computer in local folder.

2) Problem with saving search name.
I have tried to make a Saved Search for photos with missing Longitude.
Search is working correct, but when I saved it with the name "Broken GPS", it appears under "Saved Searches" with a wrong name "With GEO tags". Edit search window shows correct name, see screenshot #4. Attempt to rename this search also shows correct name, see picture #5, but click on any location returns to show wrong name.

3) Cosmetic (?) problem showing the F-number for movies (.mov and .mp4 files), see picture #6.

I see this forum is not so active so I have to ask is Daminion development still alive?

p.s. Sorry for mixed order of attached pictures, cannot arrange them in proper order...

3788 - Bug: Delimiter | not accepted as hierarchy delimiter of keyword tags in CSV import file

Hello,

even if the preferences are set as shown below, only the "\" works fine as delimiter in hierarchy keywords.

My request to all users for a response

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 13:45:09 +0000

Hello,
I have reported several errors here in the forum (and also directly to Daminion). Unfortunately, these have not been corrected for several years/builds:

Incorrect handling of the altitude tag when it has decimal places (as recorded by Garmin). This causes the metadata in the file to be incorrect: e.g. 100.5 m becomes 1005 m.
Error in the ‘copy tags’ function: the tags Creation Date Time, Title and Description are not copied from the source file to the destination file.
Different handling of the camera tag, which means that, for example, photos from the ‘Canon 5D MK III’ are assigned and counted under the tag “Canon” as a sub-tag, or a tag ‘Canon 5D MKIII’ is created on the same level as ‘Canon’.
Now new in build 3797, MP4 files are not imported correctly and a thumbnail representing a corrupt file appears.

Etc.
Now my request, since Daminion claims that all these errors are isolated incidents and no one else, especially corporate customers, is affected:
Who else has noticed such errors besides me?

I have been using Daminion for about 15 years, even before the first 1.0 version, and I am still a big fan of the software.

I look forward to your response.
Thank you, Uwe

3797 - bug import MP4 video files

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 12:00:03 +0000

Hello,

there is a bug in the import function of mp4 files. No problem with e.g. JPG files.
I went back to build 3788 - there it works.

3763 - 3797 bug - copy tags doesn't work

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 11:09:38 +0000

Hello,

the action "copy tags" doesn't work as it does in the previous builds. I used "copy all" but the following tags are not copied from the source item to the destination item: Creation Date Time, title description. You get a recordes video.

- 3788 Daminion writes wrong Altitude in the database and in the metadata of the file

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 10:18:31 +0000

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.

Regards, Uwe

Save AI tags to metadata in file?

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 21:16:56 +0000

Is there any way to save the AI Labels and AI Objects tags to be stored directly in the JPG or TIFF metadata inside the photo file itself? I tried Actions -> Write Tags to File, but it didn't seem to add the AI tags. I was unable to find the tags with non-Daminion third party metadata viewers. Where exactly would the tags be if they are supposed to be there? Thanks!

3747 - Full text search and table "content"

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 15:17:56 +0000

Hello,
I hadn't noticed it before, but now I've noticed the ...fts tables in the database. Here are my current settings below:
What I don't understand is the content of the ‘content’ table. The content there comes from the full-text search of the content of PDF documents, not from the metadata tags. I didn't want the contents of documents to be indexed. Have I forgotten/made a mistake in any of the settings? How can I prevent future indexing of document content? It's okay for the metadata. And how can I delete the contents of the ‘content’ table without affecting the functionality of Daminion – using the SQL delete command?

1682 - 3747 camera tag - rescan folders vs. read tags from file

Thu, 17 Aug 2017 11:32:07 +0000

Hello,

I've inserted the scanner information by ExifTool (Open with... action) and imported this information by "Read Tags from file". These items are not assigned to the already existing camera tag (Canon->CanoScan LiDE700F) - it creates a new tag on the root level of the camera tags.

Then I remove these items from the catalog and import them again by Resan Folders. Now the items are assigned to the already existing camera tag (Canon->CanoScan LiDE700F).

Why do "Read Tags from file" and "Rescan Folders" are working differently? Bug?

Regards, Uwe

[3574] - Color Labels Issue

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 17:14:52 +0000

Dear Community,
I am experiencing an issue with the photo labeling workflow. In the past, the numeric key “0” was consistently used to remove an assigned color label from selected images. However, the function has recently changed, and pressing “0” now designates all currently labeled images as “Favorites” instead.

thank you

[3734] - Multiple Instances of PostGRE SQL

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 13:08:08 +0000

Thank you

geodata for MP4 files is not displayed in the Properties Panel

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 09:37:45 +0000

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

Daminion Client doesnt start any more

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 16:21:16 +0000

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

Daminion getting very slow

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 19:07:05 +0000

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?

[3574] - Sync Issue & Question About "Unsynced" in Saved Searches

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 17:27:55 +0000

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

[3574] - Color Labels Visibility Issue in Windows Client

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 13:34:42 +0000

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!

Questions About Duplicate Detection and Sorting in DAM

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 17:57:53 +0000

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!
