Catalog Import not working properly

When I import an existing C1 catalog (properly working, verified and all images 'referenced') into a new empty catalog only 1/3rd of the images are imported properly. The existing collections get properly imported, but 2/3rd of the images suddenly show up as 'managed' images inside the catalog and all their edits, ratings and keywords get lost. 

In a second try I used an older 1/1 copy of the catalog with the same result.

I even used the restore feature using a backup copy to create the catalog again (all referenced and working well and equal to my existing catalog) and import it from there ..... same result when importing that catalog then into a new one. 

You might ask why there is a need for doing this. This was my testing the behavior as I wanted to import (as I usually do) the catalog into my master catalog (all referenced) which resulted in the mess described above. 

I get similar behaviors with importing other catalogs into an empty catalog.

I am using C1 14.0.2 and I am using the File>Import Catalog>Import Capture One Catalog function. All images and catalogues residing on internal and fast SSD. I already opened a support ticket with no answer yet.

Any idea what could be done to properly import one catalog into another? 

Thanks, Andy

  Hi,

  The problem seems general. I submitted a case and the workaround proposed is long and complicated ie import images that become managed and then convert them into referenced images.

  I did not try this, too risky.

  However it was confirmed that it is impossible, at the moment, to import a referenced catalogue without it being converted to a managed catalogue.

  Suggested there should be a dialogue box (as with importing individual images or creating sessions) that gives the user the option.

  Here is the reply: "I have forwarded your comments and suggestions about changing catalog from managed to referenced on import on to our Product Management team as something to consider in a future release."

  So we'll have to wait and see.

  Have a nice day

  Thank you Jeremy for bringing this back to me as I haven't got an answer from C1 support yet.

  I feel the same about converting a managed catalog to a referenced one. Especially as in my case it actually is just a partly managed catalog that lost all edits and tags on the managed images at all. 

  I support your idea of having a dialog box to choose between managed and referenced on import that one could choose from.

  Nevertheless importing a ref. catalog into another ref. catalog worked for me for the last couple of years flawlessly and I really hope that C1 hurries to fix that broken basic functionality for catalog handling as it seems I am not the only one where it doesn't work anymore. 

  Thanks, Andy
