pgrondin Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Members 3 128 posts Running Home Server. 6.8.0 2333 I have been using standalone for years. Server is a new tool for me. Using a shared catalog, I am unable to import/add files into the catalog without copying them from their current location. Is that not possible, or am I missing something?

Daria Kotilainen Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi Peter, It is possible if you are importing files from a network folder or from a local folder located on the server PC. If you are importing files from a local folder located not on the server PC, the option to import files without copying them will be disabled.

pgrondin Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi Daria; When I used Netcatalog a few days ago, it allowed me to add files without copying them. The source folders are all similar; Same drive, same permissions. I have attached some screen captures for the Catalog setup. and the catalog open dialog. I notice that the catalogs appear twice, and if I open the Localhost version, I can add files without copying, while if I open the version using my system name I have to copy the files. The directories involved are all on the system machine. Is that as expected, or did I slip up somewhere. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Please use LocalHost catalogs. You can remove the the list with "Hercules" if you click the Remove button. Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
