Hello,
I want to move my C1 catalog folder and image folder from drive C: to an
external drive E:
But when opening the catalog from the new destination on drive E: C1 does
not know the image folder on drive E: it still points to drive C:
How can I fix this?
Thanks for your help.
PS: I am a Windows user

  see library tool, open the folders, they should have a red instead of a green symbol. Try locating the topmost image folder with menu item "locate".
  
  hope this helps

  Hello BeO,
  thanks for answering. Unfortunately the Folder in question on drive E: is also marked green and the locate Option is greyed out.
  Thanks

  Hm, then, if you rename the image folder in explorer/finder, it should become red, then maybe the locate function becomes enabled?

  Hi BeO
  renaming is a possibility. I tried this already:
  1. I renamed the Image Folder on drive C:
  2. C1 responds with an exclamation mark ! for the image folder on C:
  3. I located the now missing Folder on C: with the one on E: (took a couple minutes)
  4. Only 3/4 of the folders and subfolders were now located correctly
  5. I run a database repair
  6. Now most of the Folders and subfolders showed up
  7. The still missing ones must be added manually
  It is a workaround but not a relyable one. Phase One should find an easy solution. I launched a support case already.
  Thanks again!

  great that you got it done.
  one question: how did you do a database repair?

  - then verify and selecting database, when database not ok
