Assuming that Extensis has got the new version for the new Macs, and as I recall they have, all you need is Extensis Portfolio. I haven't
had to re-enter anything (excepting my early errors of
attribution), and I have been using and just updating the version ever since my first PowerMac running OS 7 (as I recall) 20 years ago. Everything I enter in File Info and all the Keywords
comes across into Portfolio and onto
Forvm and (with some comical issues with special characters) in everything that
Google can throw at it, besides, naturally, all Adobe products in the Creative Suite.
For example, I go to Portfolio and choose one of my
first coins, locating it by any of a half dozen keywords, bought when I
had only half a dozen. Under Item in Portfolio I go to Properties and find, well, what I knew at the time I bought this coin:
• 7
VII 99
Sestertius (29mm,18.31g).
Rome 195 AD.
Julia Domna IVLI]A
AVGVSTA.
Cybele,
mater deum.
(my first acquisition was of 24 V 99)
The image is a plain flatbed scan, all I
had at the time capable of imaging coins.
The keywords would be: coin bronze
Rome sestertius Severan Julia_Domna
Cybele Mater_Deum (but on a
Mac I don't have to insert the _).
One can do lots more, but on an everyday basis that takes care of it, provided of course that I enter the data in the first place. I might have completed the ID of my
Domna sestertius, but it pleases me to remind myself that I knew nothing whatever (I got that label from the coin's listing) for about six months, not even how to use the 1980s one-volume version of
Sear RCV properly. I soon learned that
Provincials needed to be properly identified!
