OV3 will then move all your pictures to your external drive, updating it's database.Ģ- Copy OV3's database on the same external drive. Select a folder on an external drive (I used a USB external hdd). Select all pictures, right click on anyone, and choose "Move". So for now I still have my raw edits on my old computer, but no way to transfer these countless hours of work to a new computer.ġ- On your old computer, open OV3, go to your folder where there are your RAW pictures.
#Olympus viewer 3 not working software
I can't believe someone would create a software where there's no tool or option to migrate your files to another computer, or even another folder. I don't promise this will work because there may be other paths in the database based on the OV3 program and user that are also different. You might get by with changing the path under OV3 Advanced on the new computer to the specific path names on the old computer after first creating those same folders and path on the new computer and then copying the complete Olympus folder from the old computer to the new one. The database has to know exactly were everything is stored and it uses the paths to do that.
This is true of any database unless there is a way to export/import the information.
If you try to change the location of files, OV3 warns that if you try to move the location it may not work under the Advanced settings.įrom what I've read your raw files needs to have the exact same path or else the database can't be used, is that true? I found the OV3 database under AppData under my user's folder, and tried to copy it to the new computer but it didn't work. I'm changing my compurer, I've copied all my olympus raw files to the new one but I lost all my edits.
