    If you install [ZoomBrowser EX Ver4.0] or a later version to overwrite [ZoomBrowser EX Ver3.x], it is necessary to carry out the operations below.

    - Converting databases

    - Moving image files
    To use a new [ZoomBrowser EX] version to display images saved with [ZoomBrowser EX Ver3.x].

    Enter [C:\Program Files\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX\Program\dbconverter.exe]* in the [Open] field, and then click [OK].
    * If you have changed the location to install [ZoomBrowser EX], select the folder that contains [dbconverter.exe], and then run [dbconverter.exe].
    Generally, the [C:\Program Files\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX\Program] folder contains [dbconverter.exe].

    Moving image files

    Generally, the location of the [Image Library One] folder is in the [C:\Program Files\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX] folder.
    IMPORTANT
    • Do not move each of the image files individually. Instead, move them by folder.


    8. Double-click the [ZoomBrowser EX] shortcut icon to start [ZoomBrowser EX].




    9. The following window appears.



    If you select the folder that was moved in step 7, the images in the folder appear in the [Browser Area].
