Merging work from travel computer?

Permanently deleted user
I had a great trip to Namibia and took in excess of 5500 photos. I used a MS Surface Pro as a travel computer with C1P 9 installed. Each evening I emptied my SD cards to the Surface SSD and also to an external drive for backup. I synchronised the SSD folder with C1 each day and during the trip I processed pictures in C1P whenever time allowed.

Now I am home I want to transfer the contents of the SSD to my home computer external HDD where I store all my pictures and be able to continue work on my home system. It's easy enough to just copy the files from my Surface Pro SSD to my external HDD but what of the C1 catalogue from the travel laptop? It contains a lot of work on many of my pictures. How do I synchronise that catalogue with the one on my home system C1?

    While I am sure there is some long winded way of doing this using catalogs, I really suggest working with Sessions on the Surface. They are designed to be self contained, and you can freely copy them between computers using the normal file system. Think of them as a mini catalog.

    Once you are back to your home computer, it is easy enough to copy the entire session folder to the home computer's drive, open C1P 9 on the home computer and just just File -> Import Session.

    Hope this helps

    Thank you very much. That sounds a great way for next time I am away.

    Do you know if it will work from Windows to Mac and vice versa?

    Sorry no idea. I am a little bit anti-Apple myself. 😁

    Maybe someone else can answer.

    I agree with nighthawk.
    But now you have a catalog. So, on your home computer, try "import a catalog" in file menu. I'm on Windows but I think this command exists on Mac. And I think you can import a catalog from Mac to PC.

    Is dependent on whether the images in the catalog are or outside.
    If inside then it should work, if outside, then you need first a little bit manipulate the C1 Database, because Windows work with Driver letters and "" and Mac with directories and "/"

    I have a trip planned in December so I decided to try this out in a practice session (excuse the pun!). It worked very well. I uploaded the full session directory from the Surface Pro to Dropbox and imported it to my home PC.

    I organise my main catalogue in calendar years with sub directories for RAW, JPEGS and Develops. The session arrived in C1P9 (PC) as a User Collection and was easily identifiable. I don't know if there is a more elegant way to integrate the session with the catalogue but I just dragged and dropped the RAW files (which contained adjustments) into the 2016 RAW sub directory and the Output files to my Develops sub directory. Is this the correct way to do it?

    If, at some later date, I deleted the imported session in User Collections would the adjustments in the moved RAW files be lost or were they carried over to the main catalogue when I moved the files?
