I'm wanting to archive a few parts of my large Lr catalog to DVDs, and then delete those photos from my HDD. I've parsed out a sub-set of my catalog to a DVD. A finalized DVD-R is not a writeable medium, so I figured that I could dump the entire contents to a folder on my PC. When I click on the lrcat file in the folder I get the error:
There also is a file lrcat-journal in the folder. Clicking on this file opens Lr with an empty catalog where I'm able to import the files from the folder with the dumped files from the DVD.
Are there any shortcuts to avoid DVD->folder->lrcat-journal->dump files from DVD to folder->import from DVD->work from DVD folder->erase folder when finished
