After (again) following the File>Import Catalog importer I asked CO8 to carry in my LR5 catalog. It ran all night and produced a skeleton of the catalog without previews - this has been the pattern, the screen grab is attached. Unless I am missing something important, CO8 is not transferring the previews. I bought the program with the understanding I could simply transfer in the LR catalog and continue working, without this I'm sunk. Where have I mis-stepped?
Separately and equally important to me I want to create catalogs by importing a number of image folders from my working external drive into each. Apparently CO8 prevents selecting more than one catalog at a time to import. Have I missed something important?
Beyond the money spent on the program I really want to like this software. Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Michael
HI Michael,
I am glad you have contacted support - that's what they are there for!
Your screenshot does give a clue though. Look at the total number of images in the catalog. Only 76!
The reason why you are not seeing previews is that there is nothing in the collection (album) that you have selected.
When the import process completed it would have given you a status. For example, how many images imported, how many were skipped etc.
So without knowing more facts I could guess that either the images were offline and they couldn't be read, or the file format is not supported by Capture One.
We do support the M9 though, unless you have a second camera we don't?? But I am guessing this is very unlikely.
Would be good to know the outcome.
David
