Import Delicious Library 3?

Post by boldavenger »

Hello.

I'm just getting started with the Pedia products after having been disappointed with Delicious Library and their lack of updates and support. I cannot seem to find a way to import my Delicious Library 3 into your program. I found where and how to do it from DL2, but I haven't used that in a while now. Everything I have been updating is DL3. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Tony,

Thanks for trying out the Pedias.

It was never worth the development time to make an importer for DL3. To import your data, use the File -> Export to... -> Library 1 file... menu command in DL3. This will create a folder with a Library Media Data.xml file in it. Drag that file over the Pedia dock icon or select it in the File -> Import sheet.

It will create a new excluded collection with the imported entries for you to review. If you are happy, you can make them all part of your main library with File -> Include Collection in Library. You can then remove the imported collection as the entries will not be part of your main library.

You can add further info that might not have been in DL3, with "Movie -> Update from -> Doghouse".

Kind regards,
Conor
