Catalog split

Ondrej Blaho
Hi,right now I have a really huge catalog (photos are in extra folders not directly in catalog package)and I would like to split it in smaller ones catalogs by years.

Is there any way to export selected photos/folders including adjustments and including current files/folders structure? When I check photos/folders i want to export as catalog I only get one catalog package with photos inside which i don't want. - I need to preserve current folders structure.

Hope my question is clear 😊

Thanks

    I don't know if there is a better way to do it, but copying the catalog and deleting years will work. Depending on your system, this will take a while. You can always start with a copy of the full catalog, but shrinking it down step by step is quicker.

    No really not elegant. But it worked for me when I did it a while ago. If anybody knows a better way to split up a referenced catalog while maintaining all the structure, I'd like to hear it.

    Instead of using the full catalog each time, I started with creating smaller and smaller bases:
    Catalog_2010-2013 copied to Catalog_2010 (Catalog_2010-2013 kept as backup),
    Catalog_2010 copied to Catalog_2011, removed 2010 from Catalog_2011,
    Catalog_2011 copied to Catalog_2012, removed 2011 from Catalog_2012,
    Catalog_2012 copied to Catalog_2013, removed 2012 from Catalog_2013.
    Then I removed the overhead:
    removed 2011-2013 from Catalog_2010,
    removed 2012-2013 from Catalog_2011,
    removed 2013 from Catalog_2012.
    All done.
    Then backed up and optimized all to clean it all up.

    I love LR for doing those day to day catalog tasks so easy and simple. If they only had the CO raw developer inside 😉
