Title: Reinstall C1 7/Old Catalog Unrecognized
Post by: hubell on July 21, 2013, 02:00:16 pm

I am on a Mac running 10.8.4. I was using C1 7.1.2  with a Catalog. I was having trouble with the software loading so I decided to uninstall 7.1.2 and install 7.1.3, folllowing the instructions on Capture Integration's web page. Now, 7.1.3 opens but it will not load my old catalog. If I click on File/Import Catalog/Another Catalog, the old catalog shows up but it is grayed out. I tried going to Verify Catalog, clicked on Verify, and when it was finished clicked on Open, then it always crashes.
I really don't want to be using a Catalog as I already have a complete Catalog in LR5 that I use as a DAM, but C1 7 leaves me no choice if I want to use C1 to process my files from my IQ180. (No, Sessions are NOT an alternative.)

The import catalog function is to import a catalog from Lightroom.

Use File>Open to open your own catalog.

If you are having issues then the fastest way to solve it is to open a support ticket.

Its hard to diagnose from here!

Thanks, David. I never did solve the issue, but I sidestepped it so to speak by using Time Machine to go back to 7.1.2, and then upgraded directly to 7.1.3 without first uninstalling 7.1.2 and all of its components. Why I could not uninstall 7.1.2 completely before installing 7.1.3 first, I have no idea. I assume that someone buying C1 today gets 7.1.3 and may want to integrate an existing C1 7 catalog.
