Imatch 3.6 compatibility with windows 10

[MichaelR]

Hi,

We are having issues with exporting and importing IPTC data in Imatch 3.6 running under windows 10. My question is if Imatch 3.6 is compatible with windows 10?

Thanks in advance for your time and attention.

Friendly greetings,

Michael

Michael,

IMatch 3.6 is a legacy product and several years out of date. I did never test IMatch 3.6 on Windows 10.
No support is available for IMatch 3 anymore.

I don't even have installed IMatch 3 on any of my computers so I cannot even try something out. This is all years in the past. IMatch 3 was replaced by IMatch 5 in 2014, almost 3 years ago.


For information about the current version of IMatch, please see https://www.photools.com/

We have one script from khodadad, Import IPTC from tab delimited file, what keeps us back from moving to Imatch 5. We tried to get the functionality from Imatch 5 beta but at that time this didn't work. What would be the best way forward?

1. IPTC data is legacy and has been replaced 10 years ago by XMP metadata.
2. Importing IPTC data from a test file is also a very uncommon procedure. Have you considered revising your workflow and use current metadata standards and formats?

You can use the CSV import in IMatch 5 to import data from CSV files into metadata, including XMP and even legacy IPTC.

Thanks!

We will try this out.

Friendly greetings,

Michael
