Save a collection of Contact Sheets?

[Jarred]

Hi.  I am in the process of updating my portfolios.  Right now I am opening all of my rendered jpegs in PM.  They are all in different folders by client, and each client gets their own LR catalog, so this is probably the best way for me to quickly look through an entire year's worth of work.

I am going to end up opening something like 30-40 Contact Sheets at a time, is there any way to save a collection of Contact Sheets or some sort of macro sheet that will open up all of these specific folders in one click?  I am just afraid that I am going to quit the app by accident then have to open up everything again.

Thanks for any input!

Yes.  Open each folder into a single tab (use the Navigator or Favorites contextual menus (Open in existing contact sheet)) and then once you have all that you want, use the "Remember Folders..." command on the File menu.  Give it a name and you'll now have a multi-folder Favorite that you can open later.

Hi Kirk, Just came across this and tried using remember folders but did not work, it was grayed out, what am I doing wrong?

You have to open each folder into a single contact sheet.  Then you can Remember Folders on that tab.

A set of tabs cannot be remembered/restored at this time.
