Using both Windows and Mac to edit the same Catalog?

Hi

Is it possible to use both a Mac and a Windows computer to work on my Capture One Pro 12 catalog? I tried opening the catalog I had been working on from the Windows version of C1, and I get this error:

If I try to Verify/Repair, I get this error:

Both the Windows and Mac versions are 12.1.4.

  I think that it is possible but there are some things to consider
  
  

  
  

  Which is the primary system for managing the images

  
  

  Shall the images stored inside the catalog

  
  

  The catalog may not be open on several computers

  
  

  If you are using a cloud service (such as DropBox), allow some (generous) time for the synchronisation between the computers

  
  

  It will work only without problems for images, which are stored inside of the catalog. The way how Windows and macOS organise the file systems is just too different (Windows has drive letters, macOS uses a root directory for everything

  
  
  My personal opinion(s):

  The primary system should maintain the catalog

  
  

  If the images are NOT stored in the catalog, the secondary system should use Sessions:
  

  
  

  Using sessions helps to transfer the changes between different computer systems. In this way, it is possible to import the new images including the changes to the catalog, when needed (In the Import-Dialog just select to include the modifications).

  
  

  The secondary computer is usually used during assignments: A change to the main catalog might not be required immediately. (It is sufficient to know that actual changes can be transferred later)
