transfer photos from one catalog to another

Hello community,

with the change to C1 7.x and no real deeper insights about the new catalogs ☹️ I created a catalog on my external USB 3.0 HD and keep the photos in the catalog...

C1 is unusably slow, which seems to come from the external storage of the catalog and seemingly heavy data exchange in the normal workflow (possibly due to the access to the preview-data).

Now I've created a second catalog located on my SSD and try to transfer the photos (of course including tags and development-information, etc.) from catalog A to B following the idea of keeping the catalog files on my SSD and storing the photos on my external HD.

I just don't find any information on how to move photos from one catalog to another...

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Kind regards - Chris

  I'm not aware of any such way either.
  
  You could just copy or move the catalog to the local drive, then delete any images in the duplicated catalog that you don't want.
  
  I use the catalog in a referenced mode, so that the images can be on external drives but the catalog database and previews are on the local drive. I've never actually stored any images inside the catalog...

  @Adam
  The new catalog is a referenced one - that's why I try to move the photos from the former catalog to this new one...
  And since the storage capacity on the SSD is quite limited I'd love to keep the photo-files on my external HD.
  Perhaps someone from PhaseOne has some idea on how to get this job done...
  
  kind regards
  Chris

  In that case - with all the images references outside of the catalog itself - have you tried to just copy the small catalog to your SSD then, and open it with Capture One?
