Consolidating libraries & reorganizing into year-folders
I have several (five, specifically) managed libraries in CaptureOne Pro, totalling nearly 100GB in size. For a whole lot of reasons beyond the scope of this post, I want to convert them into a single catalog of referenced images, whereby I have one COP catalog, and all my image files are stored independently on my drive.
In the course of making that consolidation and conversion, I would like to also automatically reorganize all images in the final library into folder trees by year and month.
I have no idea how to make the conversion to referenced vice managed. Do I need to do an export of all my originals, create a new catalog, and reimport all the images? What about my variants and meta data? Seems like a round-about way of accomplishing something that it would seem would be fairly easy to do.
Can anyone suggest step by step what I should do to accomplish all of the above?

Okay. So I managed to consolidate all the catalogs into one. I also figured out I can have Capture One Pro move images from their collections/albums into a file folder structure by right clicking under the "Folders" panel, adding a new folder, and then dragging and dropping them.
I went through all my collections and created folders by year and then subfolders from there for each shoot. All the images moved over without a hitch, and I see all the RAW files in their appropriate places in the folder structure. Awesome sauce.
Where I'm stuck now: I thought I got them all, and I've gone through the collections a couple times to make sure. But my C1 catalog is still over 8GB in size, so I'm thinking there may still be images buried inside the catalog that are not yet referenced to folders/files.
Is there a simple way within C1 to view only images that are inside the catalog file, so I can easily distinguish between images that are referenced and images that are managed?0 -
The top line called "Catalog" (small open book icon) in the "folders" bit of the library shows you any images inside the catalog. You can move them out (if there are any) using drag drop to another indexed folder in the folders area. 0
