Colin,

I don't think that's a really a surprise. An UNC is not a drive and the macro %FileDrive returns the drive letter. It's most likely it stumbles over the absence of a colon.

Thanks for your help. The complete uninstall worked perfectly. I was able to install a clean version and create a new database. Thanks again for the quick and accurate assistance.

De-Installing

Hi Hert,

Sometimes, people really want to de-install IDimager for some reason. And they also want to remove all settings.
Wouldn't it be possible to give the user a checkbox to choose a complete de-installation (followed by a security question that all data is removed )

The de-installation should then remove all data saved by IDimager in the registry, %localappdata%, and from the installation folder

A other option would be a removal tool which needs to be downloaded separately.
I have seen such applications a few times... (e.g. ESET smart security)

Best Regards,
Michael

David,

1: deinstall IDimager
2: go to the installation folder and delete the folder IDimager
2: go to %localappdata% and delete the folder IDImager
3: start regedit || got to the START menu and type regedit, then enter - goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IDimager and delete the key IMB

This should remove all setting

Best of luck with the new installation
Michael

Michael,

I can't go to [tools, options, general settings] because the software won't start up in the first place. When I try to launch it, it automatically looks for the old catalog (which doesn't exist) and the terminates.

How do I COMPLETELY erase everything about IDI and start over?

Following up answering the questions you had in your OP:

1: as many other programs, IDimager keeps almost every setting (which I find very good) I think there might be a way to improve this...
Like some programs do ask you to "completely remove the application, including settings"

2: IDimager is a DAM application and a catalog is the heart of it! No cataloging without a database.

2: [File|create new catalog database]

I hope I answered your questions to your satisfaction
Best Regard,
Michae

Hi David,

A very warm welcome to the User and Support forum!

After you started IDimager, go to [tools|options|general settings] and enable [Display a loging dialog on startup]
Close IDimager and start it again. Now IDimager will display the login dialog from where you may choose the database

I hope I could help you with this.

Best Regards,
Michael

Create New Catalog

I installed IDI Pro and tested it by creating a catalog on a network drive. The test went fine so I uninstalled the software and deleted the test catalog. Our I.S. dept. created a new network drive so I re-installed the software and want to start fresh with a new catalog. The software automatically looks for the old catalog in a drive location that no longer exists. I'm in an endless loop of failure when I launch the software. So questions are:

1) Why did the software 'remember' the old catalog when I did an uninstall?
2) How do I start up the software without it needing a catalog?
3) How do I create a new catalog?

Thanks,
-David G.

I encountered the same problem today when trying to import from a network share. I think the symptom is exhibited when the imported directory UNC path is exactly 127 characters long. If you rename the directory so that the UNC path is 126 or 128 characters long the import completes normally. I am running IDimager Pro v5.0.7.

As an update, I mapped the \\homeserver\photos to a drive (P:\) and then changed the save directory to

P:\%yyyy\%mm\%yyyy_%mm_%dd_%h%mm%ss.JPG

and it works as expected. Looks like it doesn't like share names, but drive letters are okay.
