Q.No.2717: Image transfer ends before all images have been copied, and the computer displays a communications error, or a message requesting upgrade to another version of Cumulus.
Ans : Errors may occur when Nikon View 4 is active and Cumulus is running in the background.
Click OK to close the error message.
The steps you can take to prevent recurrence of these errors are detailed below.

Two limitations apply to the "Single User" demo version of Cumulus bundled with COOLPIX series cameras:
1. No more than fifty images can be catalogued in a single catalog file.
2. No more than two catalogs can be open at one time.

The above errors will be displayed if the limit of fifty pictures is reached during a Nikon View 4 transfer operation, or if you attempt to create or open additional catalogs with two catalogs already open.
The steps you can take to circumvent these limitations are as follows:

Limitation 1: No more than fifty images can be catalogued in a single catalog file
1. Open the Nikon View 4 Preferences dialog and click the Database tab.
2. Click the New... button in the "Select catalog file" panel.
Cumulus will start, but you can return to Nikon View 4 without performing any action in Cumulus.
3. Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.
4. Reinitiate transfer.
Note that the pictures transferred before the limit of fifty was reached will already have been copied to disk; open the Thumbnail list window and select the remaining pictures before beginning transfer again.
If in future you have more than fifty pictures to transfer, select them in batches of fifty and create a new catalog for each batch before beginning transfer.

Limitation 2: No more than two catalogs can be open at one time
1. If Cumulus is running, bring it to the front.
If Cumulus is not running, start it by selecting Programs > Cumulus > Cumulus S5.0.9 from the Start menu.
2. The most recently opened catalog file will be displayed.
3. Without exiting Cumulus, close any catalogs that you are not currently using.
4. Reinitiate transfer.
