Catalog folders all over the place
« on: February 10, 2022, 09:56:28 PM »
Hello,

Since moving to the Mac, the catalogue source folders are all over the place when syncing and scanning.

I've

//server/folder
/volumes/server/folder
servername._smb._tcp.local

None of these are able to move in the catalog because it says they're all the same directory.

is there a way to consolidate all these locations?

It's always mapped the same way in Finder, so I do not understand

Was the catalog created on Windows?

Yes, it was actually.

Would it be best to create a new one and just deal with recreating the collections?

Did you do a "Reintegrate Forgotten Catalog" on it already?

Would it be best to create a new one and just deal with recreating the collections?

It may be best, though I'd want to know the answer to my reintegrate question first.

I just tried the reintegration, unfortunately the folder structure remains.

The catalogue still is intact and the photos are online, it's just they're split now and it's obviously hard to remember which folder belongs to which root when navigating.
I don't think I'll be going back to Windows anytime soon, so will just restart the catalogue again.
