P: Won't import a file with large numbers of images in "import from another catalog"

I'm breaking up my master catalog into individual years so they're smaller and run faster. I created a new catalog (say 2019) then choose "import from another catalog", which I choose my master. It takes a while, then compiles a list of files to import (they are originally all checked boxes). I uncheck all the boxes, then select only files from 2019...this works really well...until I get to a file that has a large number of images (say around 8000 or higher). It refuses to allow a checked box on these large files (even though they were originally checked). Seems to be a bug, I've tried everything to work around this. Any suggestions?

Hi Rikk, thanks for the quick reply. I just tried to import from my master to a new catalog and ran through to see which would and wouldn't import. I had a file that was 6409 images that allowed it to be checked (see attached...all ones smaller than this were good to go) but one with 7468 images (and all that were higher) weren't able to be checked.

I am not seeing this.  Just to be clear: You have a single folder with 8 K images or your cumulative check marks go up to 8K?
