Select catalogue during ingest
« on: December 09, 2022, 05:49:06 PM »
Hi, I have just upgraded to PM+ and have a question that I can't find an answer to in the notes or here on the forum.
I have set up 3 catalogues (Family, Holidays & Rugby). When I go to ingest some Rugby photos, I can't see how to make sure they get added to the Rugby catalogue and not one of the others.
Is there a way to specify within the ingest window which catalogue they go to or is it easier to ingest and then select all, select catalogue and then scan to catalogue?
Best regards,
Malcolm

Not from the Ingest window, but any operation that adds items to a catalog only adds to a catalog whose "Add/Modify" box is checked.

I second this request and would love to see the the possibility to select the catalog where the ingested files are cataloged into.

I have different folder-structures depending on the kind of the event I shot and as well different catalogues.
So I need to active the catalogue where the images need be searchable in, do *not* forget the others to deactivate, select the saved template from the ingest dialog, ingesting the images, re-activate a different catalog, disable the other, and so on.

Having the option to (de-)select (and save as a preset) the catalog(s) would avoid a lot of manual steps with a a high chance of wrong catalogs filled up.
