How to move the raw files to another hd?

Hi
I'm reference all raw files (that is, not saves inside the catalog file) to an external hard drive. But how do I move them to another hard drive without CP1 thinking they are "offline". Or, after the move, update all references. Preferably not one image at the time 🤓

Regards,
Magnus

  You can move files and folders (and create new ones) from inside CO in the Folders Area of the Library ToolTab same as you can do with the OS Finder, but doing from inside CO the catalog will keep track of what you have done without loosing any connection.
  If you move files or folders using the OS Finder the connection will be lost but can be easily re-established by right cliching on the missing folders or files and using the locate function.
  There are video tutorials made by Phase One about this (and more) available on You Tube such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BJL_tF ... DO8UB5siyH

  Are you sure that you can move folders? A recent webinar said that you could not -- and I am not able to. If there's a way to move folders with Capture One Pro, I would love to learn it!

  I'm also wondering about moving folders as opposed to files. It doesn't seem to work for me, in the Folders area of the Library pane, dragging a folder from one location to another whether it is on the same disk or to an external one. If it's true you can't, it's another way that C1 shows weakness in the asset management side of things. I find I'm having to manually create folders with the same name on disk and in the Catalog and the User Collections, three times with zero automation available? And then if I have to move the RAWs as files rather than folders, then to achieve this within C1 I have to do it manually a 4th time by creating the identically-named folder on my external drive to move the files to.
  
  It's a real workflow niggle. It should be seamless from the Import window right through, perhaps by better use of "Job name" which at present is next to pointless -- you can use it as a token but you have to manually update it from the previous one used every time. Also, why is the Job name in the Import window completely separate from the Job name in the Output naming section? Why does it not become part of the metadata for the image at import?
  
  "Sub folder" in the Process Recipe is another static field that requires manual updating every time, and as it is part of a tabbed block is not even always visible, meaning that output can easily go to the wrong place (i.e. the destination of the previous batch).

  I'd like to try to experiment with moving a folder and then "syncing" to see if Capture One can find it, but I don't have the time right now -- and I probably need to set aside a couple hours so I can do this patiently. Has anyone discovered a way to move folders in Capture One?
