organizer 2018 katalog struktur verdoppeln

Die vorhandene organizer 2018 Katalog Struktur (dezeit noch ohne Bilddateien) soll verdoppelt werden und mit geändertem Namen als zusätzlicher Katalog auf demselben Komputer installiert werden. Entspricht dies der Funktion Sichern und Wiederherstellen jedoch ohne Bilddateien und funktioniert das problemlos?

    Your problem will be that there is no simple way to merge catalogs in Elements (Lighroom can do that).

    Two important factors:

    1 - if you can access your various catalogs from their PSE version, be sure to "write metadat to files".

    2 - When importing from various sources, the organizer filters out duplicates (same date_taken and size in kB).

    When you import from all those locations, you retrieve the tagging and rating. If the empty new master catalog has the tags hierarchy (copied from the text files), those tags are recognized or new tags are created in an 'imported keywords' category. That requires some work to move those 'imported tags' to the correct level of your own hierarchy.

    If you import from different external drives, be sure they are assigned different drive letters to avoid any confusion.

    Now, your catalog can reference all your media files, but to manage your library in a single drive, you should use the backup and restore process.

    Roger,

    I don't really understand what you want, and it's not a  translation problem.

    Could you describe in more details (auf Deutsch...) what is your purpose?

    Hallo MichelBParis

    hier ein paar Details

    es gibt in meinem PSE 2018 einen 'MasterKatalog' mit Stichwort Tags und

    Unterkategorien ich nenne ihn hier 'Master

    Die Struktur ist umfangreich, mit vielen Kategorien und Unterkategorien, ca

    800kB

    es wurden jedoch noch keine Bilddateien in den Master importiert, das wird

    auch so bleiben

    von diesem 'Master' sollen nun mehrere identische 'ArbeitsKataloge'

    auf demselben PC erstellt werden erstellt werden

    die jedoch unterschiedliche Katalog Namen besitzen

    z.B. 'Europa'; 'Amerika'; 'Asien' etc.

    Es darf keine Probleme bei 'Europa'; 'Amerika'; 'Asien' aufgrund

    derselben Herkunft und derselben Struktur geben

    Welches ist das sichere Verfahren diese Katalog Kopien zu ziehen

    Vielen Dank für die Hilfe

    LauZah

    I think I understand what you want to do.

    You want to manage different catalogs for different main categories (continents for instance) and you want have the same tags and tag structure (hierarchy) in each catalog.

    My answer is twofold:

    1 - It's considered a very bad choice to manage different catalogs instead of a single one, except if each catalog content is totally different from the others. In your cases, the photo files will be different, but the tags hierarchy (and probably the albums hierarchy) will be shared.

    I don't see any advantage in splitting your catalogs. It's enough to have a single keyword to distinguish your different categories or to create an album for each of your continents  tags.

    2 - What the organizer offers to mange a tags hierarchy (the structure without any photo files linked) is to save the tags structure as a text file. Same for the albums structure. This is done from the small dropdown menu in the title bar of the tags. You can save the structure as a text file or restore the structure from that text file in another catalog. That is not necessary in your case, but you can start a new empty catalog and assign the same tags structure before importing a single file in the catalog.

    Note that you can duplicate your catalogs (active or empty) easily.

    Locate the folder of your current catalog, menu Help  >> System information.

    Copy the folder with another name elsewhere on your drive with your explorer or finder.
