Move catalog folder

[iau]

Hi,

On Vista Lightroom puts the catalog folder within the "Picture"-folder. Is there a way to move it to a different location? I've been trying to, but with no success.

Thanks,

With Lightroom closed, move the catalog folder where ever you would like it. Hold down CTRL when you start Lightroom, and let go when the dialog pops up asking what catalog to open. Once in Lightroom, go to Preferences and tell Lightroom to always open that catalog (the one you moved).

That should do it.

PS: Someone check my keyboard reference... I'm on a Mac.

I believe on a PC it is Ctl start LR, instead of the usual Alt for Opt.

That was easy - thanks to both of you!
