Migrating managed catalogue to referenced catalogue

Mark Moore

With the current version 10.0.2, Capture One's catalogue performance is unusable on my machine, and so to work around this I want to migrate a large managed catalogue (11k images) to several smaller referenced image catalogues.

Unfortunately, the trivial operation of dragging images from the catalogue to a folder (obviously) puts all 11k images in to a single flat folder. Is there an other way to do this such that a date based folder structure is automatically created?

eg: something like "..../2017/2017-01-23/<image-filename>"

I have tried batch-renaming, but characters such as "/" are used as actual filename characters rather than directory separators, and using ":" just produces errors even if the folder paths already exist.

Is the only way to avoid a flat folder structure to create the folder hierarchy manually and drag individual images (all 11k...)?

Thanks,

-- Mark

  The best way to do this is via File > Export Images > Originals and set up the subfolder to reflect that new folder structure you'd like to create (you can mix / in to create subfolder hierarchies). Check off Include Adjustments to, well, include adjustments.
  
  This will create duplicate files for those raw files and keep the adjustments alongside.
  
  Then, File > import images, point to the parent folder of the hierarchy you just created and check Include Subfolders. This will populate the preview side with the images (may take some time to read 11k images). Check Include Adjustments as well.
  
  This will bring that hierarchy in to your existing catalog.

  Very sound advice… But wouldn't it be simpler if we didn't have to do these things? If the database would simply be fast and solid? Image processing is top notch, now fix the rest, phulease!
  
  Still hoping,

  Try deleting the Filter Tool from your Library tab. Althought this has not worked for some, it has worked for others. This was the main cause of the slow performance for me.
  
  The Filter tool can cause really slow performance if any one of the IPTC metadata fields (even the ones not displayed, also the Title) contains a unique value for each image in a large catalog.
  
  Any thing you can do with the Filter tool can be done with the Advanced search tool window. More flexibility but less convenience.
