How to recover missing data
Posted: Mon Aug 28, 2017 7:02 am
I have been using XnView for some time now and have added categories to several thousand photos over time.
At the weekend I had an issue with Windows 7 when the BOOTMGR file got corrupted. I have had to upgrade to Windows 10, which I now have up and running.
I have NOT lost any data because I have a separate drive for programmes and a separate drive for files, so I could do a clean install without losing anything.
Having reinstalled XnView, and got it working, I am unable to see any of the categories I have added to the photos. The categories are all listed, all the photos are still in the same place and are visible, and I have the former Windows 7 version of the programme complete. It is the data that is not being connected to the Win 10 version.
I wonder please, is there a way to tell the new version of XnView where to look for the photo data?
Thanks for reading.
