Lost collections with new catalog

[Braders]

Created a new catalog (as i have other bugs/issues i am trying iron out) and in doing so lost some collections.

Initally, all collections were missing until i saved metadata to xmp on every image and then some collection appeared, but not all.

How did you move your images to the new catalog ?

Collections are only stored in the catalog not in the XMP.

If you want to create a new catalog that contains all your images then select all images (open stacks first) in the grid view. Then use the export to catalog command.

Exactly what i did to create the new cat.

Then upon realizing there were no collections, i tried the save metadata to file.

Go back to your old catalog Brad, it was only a test run. If we have to transfer you to a new catalog, we'll talk you through in more detail so you don't lose anything important.
