Navigational issue
I am not sure if I am missing some setting, or whether CO does not do what I want. Here's the issue: I have imported a catalogue from Lightroom, with 38000 images, more or less. The import went well, apart from taking overnight to generate previews.
Folders: I see in the folder hierarchy all the folders represented in the catalogue - lovely. Except that the image count and selections don't 'cascade'. I mean, if a parent folder has (say) two child folders with (say) 10 images in each, I would like the count of images for the parent folder to show 20 not 0, and I would like highlighting the parent folder to show in the browser all 20 images from the child folders.
Groups: I can make a group and put Albums etc inside it. But I would like the group to show the image count and to be able to highlight the group and have all the images referred to in that group pop up in the browser.
Filtering nested keywords works exactly how I would like folders and Groups to work.
Since these things are essentially simply different ways of viewing images referenced in a catalogue, am I wrong to expect them all to work in pretty much the same way? Or is it just me?

Hi,
does this recent thread help you concerning your "Folders" issue?
viewtopic.php?f=57&t=188640 -
Thanks for the reply. But no, he was having entirely different issues. Everything is working for me EXCEPT that parent folders do not show a count of all the images in images contained in child (sub) folders, and I cannot click on a parent folder in the hierarchy and have CO then show me in the browser all the images in all the child folders. I don't know if I am mis-configuring, or if it's not possible with CO as currently programmed - in which case I shall make a feature request. 0 -

What you described is how it currently is in CO8. A feature request is the most likely best course of action.0 -
Has this bug (err... problem, no, not a problem but then this "feature request 😊 been raised?
And where and how is this done if I have to do it?
It is really annoying when you switch to CO8 (from directories and files - and also LR) as I interpreted it as a general problem and dropped/reimported all the photos again to learn that these zeros were still all over the place. And then finally learned that this is the intention!?...
Apparently Folders are not to be used but it takes time and effort to make the similar (and/or better - acknowledging that) collections that make traversal and overview possible.0 -
If this feature were to be implemented, I would definitely prefer it to be configurable, so that I could turn it off!
When I select a folder in C1, it takes quite a while for it to process all the images in the folder (accompanied by much disk accessing). If it had to process all the images in a bunch of sub-folders as well, it would take considerably longer.
I prefer the way that C1 currently works.0
