I have discovered that my older catalogues are no longer listed in the Library. Whre I can remember their names I can bring them back into the Library from the Back-up, but I haven't kept a list of the names I have used, and don't remember all of them, which means that if I want to revisit an image, perhaps to make a print, I have to import the RAW file into a new catalogue. My suggestion is that there should be a place, perhaps in View, where all catalogues could be listed. I include the year and the camera I was using in my catalogue names, though not always in the same format, but this suggestion should enable me to recover any of them.
Sorry, but I can't add to my answer of 6th May, which was (a) that it was my understanding that C1 was designed/intended to be used in this way when I started using it, and (b) that it is easier to group folders in separate catalogues than to have too long a list of them in a single catalogue. I don't understand why C1 has catalogues if they are not to be used in this way.
Hi again Ian, can I ask why you are creating multiple catalogs?
Answering the question, what do I mean by the Library, I mean the Librarary Tool, in which I find the accessible catalogues and can select one in which to work. Having selected a catalogue there, all the folders I have placed in it are listed under my C:\ drive, which is always their source.
Until now I had assumed that all my catalogues would be listed in the Library tool (and not just those on which I had worked recently) and that all I would have to do was to scroll down till I found the one I wanted, in the same way as scrolling down through the list of folders in a catalogue. But having recently discovered that some of my catalogues were missing from that list I then found I could bring them back onto it, and then open folders within them for further work, provided I could remember their names. One method was to attempt to create a new catalogue with the same name, which got the response that that catalogue already existed and gave me the opportunuity to bring it back into use. The other was by means of File/Restore Catalogue from the Back Up. So it seems that everything is in fact kept 'in memory' somewhere. My suggestion was that if a simple list of catalogue names was compiled automatically and kept somewhere within C1, I could then use either of those methods to bring an older one back into use. As things stand I will keep such a list elsewhere on my computer, to use in this way. It just means that I will have to add new catalogues as a deliberrate action, instead of C1 doing it automatically for me. I do have one or two older catalogues the names olf which I don't remember, so that work is evidently lost.
Hopefully this account may have clarified my suggestion which, in my mind, doesn't require C1 to know where I have saved the catalogues. It would be just a simple list of all the catalogues I have opened. In my mind I haven't saved them anywhere in particular. I have simly created them, and backed them up using the pop-up invitation to do so.
Hi Ian, thanks for your suggestion.
Our software keeps a list of the "recently opened" documents, catalogs or sessions. However, when they haven't been opened in a while, this list is cleaned to avoid keeping in memory what isn't used.
It would be quite impossible for us to list all catalogs or sessions available on your computer, for the simple reason that we do not know where you have saved them.
What do you mean by "the Library"?
