Organizer '26: am I missing something here re. Move Catalog?

Nothing magic about having a NAS. I suspect, but haven't tested, this would be repeatable on a standalone machine with an exported file share (and file sharing turned on) and browsing to \\MyPCsNetName\MyShareFolder\MyPSECatalogFolder. I can't imagine they'd be smart enough to figure out that this was synonymous with, say, C:\MyUser\MyShareFolder\MyPSECatalogFolder. Heck, they can't even figure out--many versions after I started complaining about it--that \\myserver\photos\mine\123.jpg is the exact same file as \\MyServer\Photos\Mine\123.jpg.

And, yes, they tell me they recommend using local catalogs. I think this has also been there for many versions. And I get it, sort of. My primary catalog--90k+ images, is local. The ones that are not are in the 250 image range and get *much* less use. And I understand the risks/have recovery methods/avoid doing things that could be problematic. So, yeah, letting me browse to a network Custom Location and just acting as though my input was ignored seems not terribly helpful, at best.

Yes, the custom location is NAS. I don't get a message, it just ignores it when I set the network location as the custom location. Normally, I despise mapped drive letters as being a kludge from the 1980s, but I tried it here just to see what would happen. Same response: select a folder in the mapped drive as custom location. It neither shows it as having been done nor shows the catalogs in that location. Yes, I'm thinking this is Adobe's subtle way of telling me they really don't like the network location. But this unhelpful behavior of silent refusal is new in '26. I've been setup this way, and doing this shuffle of catalogs and catalog names--including the several NAS stored catalogs, every year, and every PSE/PrE  version, for many years now.

So first I Browsed to a custom location. Said Yes to this dialog.

It doesn't change to show the custom location or the catalogs in that location. Not sure why. This installation has previously opened catalogs in that location.

Then I changed the radio button to Catalogs Accessible by All Users -- if I don't do this, there is no way to select the catalog to Move. Then I select the catalog to move and click Move. This is the dialog that pops up:

It only offers two choices for where to move it to. The previously seleccted custom location is not offered up. IIRC, it used to be. Just tried this in '25:

'25 Organizer remembers the previously used custom location and shows the catalogs in that location. (Even though I opened a catalog in the All Users ProgramData. '26 only shows the custom location here when I've opened a catalog in that location.) And a Move offers up that Custom location:

In '26 Organizer even if have a Custom location catalog open, and Manage Catalogs shows the custom location and its catalogs, and then use Manage Catalogs to open the All Users catalog, once that catalog is opened, the Custom location is no longer shown by Manage Catalogs nor are the catalogs in the custom location--all of which which were shown in Manage Catalogs just before I opened the all users catalog.

It appears to me that *something* has changed.
