C1Pro Catalogs: Make them usable for index into image archive
We have been long time Media Pro (and C1Pro and Phase back) users. Finally, we're moving off of Mojave and need to replace it. We just looked at C1Pro catalogs and found them lacking. Below are some critical features from Media Pro that are missing in C1Pro catalogs.
As an FYI, we have organized our catalogs as one catalog per archive drive (and we have well over 100 of them) in order not to have to slow searches through too many images at once.
Search is extremely weak from the perspective of easily finding images from old jobs. I should be able to:
- Search across multiple catalogs (MP's search In Folder and search All Open Catalogs were extremely useful here)
- Search the path names of the images (this is generally where the client name is stored)
- Search all of the folders on a drive, not just the one that is selected in the catalog's navigation.
Catalogs are useless to us without these abilities.
In addition, all image and video types should be indexed. I don't need to be able to adjust or process them in C1Pro. I have other tools for that. But, I need to be able to find them quickly and easily.
