Catalog

Enrico Chiappini
I installed Capture One on iMac and the catalog and source file are in an external hard disk. Now after having mounted Capture One on a MacBook and connected the hard disk, I tried to use the same catalog imposing its name when Capture One on MacBook require catalog definition. The use results impossible because this diagnostic appears "Catalog already in use". How is it possible overcome this problem? Thanks

    Use a different name for your new catalogue.

    Of if you want the same catalogue to be transferred to the second machine, copy it over.

    Why would you want two different catalogues with the same name?

    I need to use Capture One on MacBook and on iMac in place and time different, without internet connection. Obviously I need to have the work performed on MacBook when connect the hard disk to iMac, and viceversa.

    Is Capture One still running on the other machine when you try to access the catalog?
    Do you have adequate permissions to access files on this hard drive from both machines?

    Thanks! Yes, the problems exists even if the other machine is completely switched off. I have permissions to access files on hard disk.

    Then you should file a bug report to get proper customer support from Phase One (link in my signature).

    If the catalogue is shared and has been open using the other machine it may be that the shut down did not fully and successfully close the C1 Catalogue and has left the lock file in place.

    C1 is not network and multi-user enabled - hence the use of the lock file.

    I can't be sure but that is a possibility to be considered.

    I seem to recall there are some posts that mention that somewhere in the forum. They might take a little but of effort to discover.

    HTH.
