Moving catalog making problem with plugin

Hello

I recently notice a problem.

This is my workflow:
I always work on my photos by creating a folder with the photos selected from the job, the project catalog as well as the files exported and sent to the client.
All this is on an NVME ssd to have the fastest possible access.

Once the job is finished, the entire folder (catalog + raw photos) is moved to an archival hard drive. 

The catalog is sometimes reworked later and, at the end of the year, is imported into a general catalog.

I'm using a dxo raw plugin for 3 months now without any problem.
I used it on 2 yearly catalogs (daily life 2024 for example) at their primary location (on the SSD NVME).
At the beginning of 2025 I moved those 2 catalogs on the archive HDD.
As always, I can access the catalogs, work on it from the hdd, no need to locate the pictures again or so everything is fine except that I can't use the plugin as I used to.
If I want to use my DXO raw plugin, I get the error message: an internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)


I investigate a little and these are my observations:

- If I re-export the main catalog as a BIS catalog, I'm able to use the plugin again without error message.
- If I import the "defective" catalog into a new catalog, I'm able to use the plugin again without error message.
- It appears that the manipulation of exporting the main catalog into a bis catalog as also repair the main catalog in the process.

 

I can't imagine exporting a catalog again as soon as I need to move it from a drive to an other.  The catalogs were only 500 images, it tooks quiete some time.  I can't imagine how long it would be for my biggest main life catalog...

 
Can someone tell me what's going on? 
How can I avoid those steps ? 

Thanks in advance
