Historian Tip: Recovering Deleted Photos

When you delete a photo from Historian, it goes into its own Recycle Bin. This is excellent, because it gives you a chance to change your mind and “undelete” the photo. Images will stay in the Historian Recycle Bin indefinitely and can be retrieved at any stage. However, the Recycle Bin can get rather large and will quickly fill up your hard drive, so it is a good idea to empty it regularly. Once the Recycle Bin has been emptied, the photos can’t be recovered. *Note: What is referenced as a Vault in Historian 4 has had the terminology changed in Historian 6.

Historian Tip: Merging Vaults Avoiding Duplicates (Public Post)

Historian has a built in Merge Vault function. It works really well and is easy to use. However, it does not automatically detect duplicates. If you have Media Vaults that include some of the same photos, merging those vaults will result in duplicate images. Below is a method for combining those Media Vaults in a way that identifies the duplicates before they are imported, allowing you to decide if you want to import them or not. This method is a little more manual than using the Merge button, but it is straightforward and effective. *Note: What is referenced as a Vault in Historian 4 has had the terminology changed in Historian 6.
