WolfgangO Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I must install my windos 7 new. I have all my fotos and DAM catalogs on HD "D" and its a partition of the main HD ("C"). I´m afraid, by installing windows the dates on "D" could be deletet. So I want to move all fotos and catalogs to an external HD. What can/must I do that DAM finds all on the new place?

Uwe Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi Wolfgang, I assume you use a local catalog. If you didn't change the default installation you can copy the folder which contains the catalog and your data files to an other place but keep them together! Daminion uses relative paths. After new OS and Daminion installation just open the catalog at its new place or copy them back (the folder with the catalog and the data files) and open the catalog from the Daminion menu.

Regards, Uwe Hi Uwe - this works not. What I did: 3 Fotos - Test1, Test2,Test3.jpg were in the path D:/Test an I createt a new catalog in D:/Test. Than I imported the fotos into this Testcatalog. After that I moved "Test" to F: und started Daminion new. I opened the catalog Testcatalog but I saw not the pictures, only a black icon with the old path.

Murat Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wolfgang, what Daminion version do you use? It should works in 0.9.8 version. I've just rechecked this option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murat Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wolfgang, could you please zip and send me your test folder with catalog and test files (Test1, Test2,Test3.jpg) so I can try to launch it on my PC. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
