Using a new [ZoomBrowser EX] version to browse images that were downloaded with ZoomBrowser EX 3.x

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.

To transfer the information that was entered in the [Title] and [Comment] sections of images to a new [ZoomBrowser EX] version.
- Moving image files
To use a new [ZoomBrowser EX] version to display images saved with [ZoomBrowser EX Ver3.x].

Moving image files

It is not possible to display folders under [Program Files] in [ZoomBrowser EX Ver4.0] or later versions.

[My Pictures] in the example above).
Generally, the location of the [Image Library One] folder is in the [C:\Program Files\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX] folder.
IMPORTANT

If you select
the folder that was moved in step 7, the images in the folder appear in
