Where are keywords stored in Jasc Paint Shop

[Farmer_Terry]

Hi

My first post here, so I trust I have done everything, and in particular that this is the right place for this question.

I have been using Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 4 for several years and I find it very useful. Over the years I have tagged a large number of my photos with keywords, but as of today they all seem to have disappeared. The table of keywords contains only the default set.

I have all my data backed up regularly so they will be somewhere, but I don’t know why this has happened or where to start looking for them.

I am quite happy to receive a technical response to this as I am familiar with the day-to-day workings of Windows having spent most of my working life writing commercial and system software for PCs.

Any help will be most gratefully received.

Saved! I had a good hunt round this morning, and they are held with the thumbnails in ixdb.mdb. In the case of Win 98 this is in c:\ProgramFiles\Jasc Software Inc\Paint Shop Photo Album\System.

As soon as I located and restored an old copy of this everything returned to normal.

This also explains where they went - I had to re-install Windows and, while I restored all my other data, that missed the net.

Thanks to all who looked.
