The World's Best Online Classes & Products for Digital Crafters

Yesterday I was working on lesson 2 and everything was going fine with my sorting. This morning I was going to sort more digital supplies and when I do I can see my files but it will not let me put them into the different categories (no check mark will be placed by the category names). I am new to ACDsee so do not know what I am doing wrong.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Yikes! That is frustrating. I'm not taking the class but I do use ACDSee and don't have a clue what you should do. Sorry....

I had the same issue and because I've used ACDsee for years, I couldn't figure out what the issue was. Be sure you have an item selected (in the center frame), then the [properties/organize] selection should show the boxes to check for categorizing. If you have "Catalog" selected, you won't be able to make your selections.

So I am trying to use acdsee on 2 computers (one laptop, one surface). I have it installed on both. I have changed the database location on both to read from my EHD, where I keep my database.

I have created categories and subs on my laptop fine. When I plug in my EHD to my surface, the categories do not show up.

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I thought that the categories were part of the database and because it is stored on the EHD it would be the same on both computers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Heather

@masonjar ... you might post this in a new thread so that it gets more attention. I wish I had the answer for you!

I would have thought so too, but I only use one computer and all my stuff is on my hard drive, so I'm no help. But I feel your pain....
Contact ACDSee for help. They are good, Kayla used to do that when she was teaching the ACDSee organization class here. She would get help and then report back to the forum.
