My catalog has over 500k of photos.
I work in two locations, for several months at a time at each location.
When I change locations, I do the following:
I have been doing this successfully for some time.
HOWEVER, this procedure is not working anymore. All the photos in the catalog now point to the external USB drive, not to the local drive. I can reattach them manually, but it is a very long process.
If I rename my local drive to match the name of the external USB drive, could this solve the problem?
Is there another method of getting the catalog to look for photos on the local drive?
Thanks.
Lightroom Build
My catalog has over 500k of photos.
I work in two locations, for several months at a time at each location.
When I change locations, I do the following:
- I synchronize my entire Lightoom folder, containing database and catalog, to an external USB drive
- I take the drive to my other location
- I synchronize the external USB drive to the second location - the entire Lightroom folder, containing database and catalog.
- The catalog from the external USB drive replaces the catalog at the second location
- I then use this replaced catalog
I have been doing this successfully for some time.
