Moving Images to a New Folder?

Richard Allen
I use Catalogues.

I have my images arranged by year (and then by month & day) on an internal HDD on my computer.

I have the Catalogues on my SSD also arranged by year.

Because I have my images within my Google Drive folder and have now changed over to Sync.com I have moved my images to a different folder.

My problem is that because I have move my images to a different folder Capture One still thinks they're in the original folder and can't find them.

How do I tell Capture One to look in the new location for my images?

Any help would be very welcome.

    Thank you for the link but it's for V7 and some of the menu items aren't there in V9.

    I don't know whether I'm being stupid or not but as afar as I can tell this link informs you about moving images from folder to folder but not how to move a complete folder full of images (not the folder with the catalogues in) from one location to another.

    As far as I can tell, Capture One looks at the Catalogue I want and the Catalogue tells Capture One where my images are. I need for the Catalogue file to tell Capture One that the images are now located in a different location and allow me to open those images with all of the original edits I made to them still intact.

    I'm still at a loss, feeling really stupid and getting frustrated (I need instructions that a 5 year old can understand, and follow) ...

    I've finally got it sorted...

    I was probably clicking on in the wrong place earlier as I was tired after not sleeping too well last night; so I went away, had a cup of tea and came back to the job in hand.

    This is what I did using windows 10...

    1. Exit Capture One.

    2. Copy directory structure in from Drive 1.

    3. Past directory structure using into Drive 2.

    4. Reload Capture One.

    5. In Library>Folder, point to the off-line parent directory on Drive 1.

    6. Right click and select Locate.

    7. Point to parent directory on Drive 2.

    I hope this helps anyone else wishing to do the same thing.

    Fine to hear that you have found the solution - but be warned there is a a pitfall...

    The locate command is disabled for all online directories! You think this should be the normal behavior?

    No, the program checks if the directory is accessible and disables the locate menu option regardless if there are photos in this directory or not! I experienced this when I wanted to point to the new location but accidently hit a wrong folder.
    As long as this folder exists you can't change again - no locate command available.

    The same may happen if you move your photos out to some other location. You have to delete or rename the directory before you can locate the right one.

    I reported this to tech support more than once and they confirmed that this bug is not present in Mac versions but they still have not fixed it so far. (???)

    All the best,
    Alexander

    I also changed the folder (from drive D: to E:) and Capture One meant my files are not there. Even the locate command did not really help.

    What I did is:
    1) close CP1
    2) open the catalog file ( I work with catalogs not sessions) with notepad+ editor and simply replace all D:\ with E:\.
    3) open CP1

    I do not give any guarantee that it will work properly in your case and you will not loose anything. But it did work for me and I use CP1 without issues since then.

    Best regards,
