When I open a photo from my email client I get the wrong .jpg. Is
there a way to clear the cache in ACDSee? Using ACDSee 7 with Windows
XP SP2.

I don't know what you mean by the wrong .jpg. If you are trying to get a
certain program to open jpg files, just right-click on a jpg, then go to
open with. You should be able to open jpg files with whatever program you
want from here, and set it so all jpg files use the same program.

Hope I understood what you meant. If not, it's a good tip anyway. :-)

Delete the database file. This will of course remove any custom sort
orders & such, unfortunately. I have to do that periodically. It will be
a rather large file, mine is 400MB currently.

For me, it's located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\paul\Application Data\ACD Systems\ACDSee
ImageDB.dtf & ImageDB.ddf

When I get this problem, it mixes up the thumbnails or stops producing
thumbnails but the full preview is always correct.

Hi Tim,

ACDSee 7 has a thumbnail maintenance process under the Option menu. That
should realign image pointers and do the trick. Sorry I don't have the exact
menu name available at the moment.
