After installing PE 2024 I want a clean catalog from start, no a copy from earlier PE. How do I get this?

Correct answer Greg_S.

The option to convert an old catalog only comes up the first time you launch a new installation of the Organizer.

 

Did you try clicking on the NEW button in the Catalog Manager?  I provided you with a screenshot that you may not have seen if you are replying via email?

Simply decline the option to convert the old catalog when you first launch the Organizer. 

 

You can always start a new catalog by going to File>Manage Catalogs and ciicking the New button:

I don't get the optiopn to convert the old catalog.

A couple of years I had another PE working, perhaps there is some old catalog-stuff somewhere in my system influencing PE 2024 installation. I have used File>Manage Catalogs without any change. I still get a message saying "0 Media files were skipped because they are already present in the catalog".
