Duplicate images in catalog
I have a folder with my RAW images (around 5K pictures) but capture one catalog is showing that I have more than 22K. some pictures are shown even 3 times.
I contacted CO support (which honestly is basically useless) and they have suggested that my catalog is corrupted and I should "Verify and optimize it" which I have done several times but it does not work at all, actually the first time I ran it the image count went from 16K to 22K, basically re imported the images.
this is really frustrating and like said their support (compared to adobe) is basically useless.
Any suggestion on how to purge all these duplicate images from my catalog?
thanks in advance

Are the images "managed" (stored inside the catalog itself) or "referenced" (located in folders on your file system, outside the catalog)?
What version of Capture One are you using, and what version of MacOS or Windows?

Hello. thanks for getting back to me.
Images are referenced to a folder.

I had a somewhat similar problem even though not as bad as yours. Namely, in some directories (not all of them) photos looked duplicated. The only reliable solution was like that:
- In Library module right-click on a problematic directory and do 'Export as Catalog'
- Delete this directory from Catalog (right-click on it in Library module and choose 'Delete', this does not remove the files!)
- Re-import from the newly exported catalog
Hope that helps,
Alex

Thanks Alex.
Unfortunately Capture One customer support is a joke. I have decided to go back to Adobe Lightroom, already uninstalled it and deleted everything that has to do with that software.
I am very pleased with how Adobe Lightroom has evolved since last time I used it.
