Migrate catalogue from Windows to OS X
Looking for help with migrating the catalogues.
I have been using capture one for a while on a windows PC. Now I want to switch to Mac.
I keep my images outside of Capture one.
I transferred catalogues and all images to a drive that is mounted under /Volumes/ on the mac
When I open a catalogue on the Mac, all images are offline. The path to the images on the mac is of course not the same as it was on the windows pc. Thus, I have exclamation next to each folder in the folder tree, and a question mark on each image. The folder path is shown in red.
I then use "locate" mouse menu to point to the good image folder, but it doesn't give the expected result. The folder shows up empty under the folder tree, though the path is now valid. I can corectly locate one image file by pointing to it, but not an entire folder tree, and not even a single folder.
Is there a way to transfer the images and all adjustments without having to point every single one of them?

Does reimporting the images transpose all the existing adjustments to the "newly" imported files? 0 -
No, re-importing of the images does not see any adjustments that had been made earlier (in Windows). Capture One does not see these as re-import, as it reports that all of the images have been imported. While normally, it would report something like "0 images imported, NN duplicates not imported".
I am using Capture one pro updated to the latest version.
Edit:
After re-importing I "located" one of the missing images using "recent imports" list. Now I have 2 of such image, one adjusted as coming from PC (the one I had located individually) and one untouched from the re-imported batch.0 -
I did a short test with catalog migration from Windows to Mac and from Mac to Windows. Both tests the images were imported while left in their current location (referenced images).
The Windows to Mac migration showed the same errors as Boldmila describes. I was not able to relocate the images. After relocating, the thumbnails were lost in the Browser.
The other way round, from Mac to Windows, went more smoothly, but not error free.
There most probably is an issue here.0 -
An addition to my previous post (above):
I notified Phase One of an issue when moving catalog with referenced images between platforms (either Win > Mac or Mac > Win).0 -
Thank you Paul. 0 -
I have similar problems. I am moving all my photo files to a NAS server (Synology) from a Windows disk. I have had my catalog files on a pc (Windows). The locate function works correctly from Windows and finds all the photo files on the NAS.
When I use the same catalogfiles from mac then the locate function cannot find the photo files on the NAS.0 -

That is because Phase One work not with UUID as Identifier to locate drive with photos.
Phase One work on Mac with the notation - /Volume/Path/To/Photos and on Windows DriveLetter:\Path\To\Photos.
The same problem is with Media Pro ☹️0 -
Hi Robert
Thank you for your information.
Do you have any idea for a way to work around the issue.

What do you mean with fix? Do you need a manually change the path to your photos - that was. Read my post from Sa Feb 22, 2014 6:29 pm0
