New computer Paths to pictures have all changed...how to edit catalog?
The folder holding my pics has the same internal structure - folders labelled '2002', '2003'... etc. However, the path from the catalog file to the container holding those calendar year images is radically different. How do I edit my catalog file so that it can find them? So far, I have not made any experimental attempts, as I don't want to corrupt that catalog, and I don't know how to proceed.
I am guessing (hoping) there is a way to edit the catalog using some kind of 'find and replace' to modify the paths to the main picture folder (whose name itself has changed)
Thoughts?
Also, the existing structure has been moved from a computer running osx 10.13.6 (High Sierra) to a mac mini m4 running 15.2 (Sequoia). Not sure if that is relevant...although I am guessing rosetta will kick in to make it work, coming from an intel based macbook.
Any thoughts?

You should find that the Library tool in your catalog still shows your folders. For instance, the 2002 folder is still shown. But Capture One doesn't know where the folder has gone. So you will likely see something like this.
You can right click on the folder and choose the Locate... item from the menu.
That should open a Finder window and you can navigate to wherever the 2002 folder is now to be found to show Capture One where it is now. If the folders are in a hierarchy, choose to Locate the one nearest the top of the hierarchy, and the subfolders should be found as well.

Thanks, I will definitely do that...as soon as I can get C1 to activate my license. I get the "Could not activate because of an unknown error." message. Jumped through all the hoops in the support note about this, and contacted C1...waiting to hear back.
This is C1pro 2020 - and I am trying to install it on m4 mini Other older software installs fine with rosetta. Not sure why C1 is acting the way it is.

Are you running Sequoia on the M4 Mini? CO 20 likely won't work on that platform. I would consider upgrading to the latest Capture One.

Turns out it does run on Sequoia 15.2. I was able to get it sorted, and the 'locate' the top folder in the catalog worked. Took about 5 minutes for it to re-index the folder structure - which is impressive with over 91k photos!!
Thanks for chiming in folks! Appreciate it.
