migration database 3

[Robvog]

I have an old image 3 database and I want to convert in a 2018-version of Imatch, 64 bit (I suppose that I have to convert it in 32 bit and afterwards open it in 64 bit).
But the 64 bit version I use now: there is not a convert tool.
Can I download the convertool from anywhere?

The database converter for the legacy version of IMatch 3 was written in 2014, to allow users to convert their databases to IMatch 5.
This was four years ago.

The database converter is no longer supported and only available in the 32-bit version. I have not tested it for a long time and it will be removed in one of the next IMatch releases entirely. IMatch 3 is history for many years. I don't support these old versions anymore.

See this page for information about how you can manually export/import your categories and properties:

I recommend you just create a new database in IMatch 2017, import all your files and then manually import your categories from the legacy system.
