Combining catalogues

| Is it possible to merge two or more catalogues into a single one without losing captions, Dates etc?
| |

| Short answer: no. This is why it is strongly recommended that you just maintain once catalog. They are easy to split, but impossible to merge.
How many images are involved? Do you have originals and edited versions? There may be a workaround.

| A few hundred altogether. I have the originals and could re-import into the correct catalogue but had hoped that I could avoid re-captioning etc.

| Captions aren't a problem, if you just imported the images into the other catalog, they'd be there. Captions are written to th eimage file as well as the catalog.
It's tags that are the issue. Do you have PSA 2? If so, there is a roundabout way to export the tags so that you can import them.

| Yes I have PSA 2

| OK.
If you set up the email facility to write to a folder [that's in Prefs I think], then "email" all of the images using their existing size/format and check the option box to include the tags. Then put the new copy of the images in the place you want to kee
p them and import into the other catalog and it will bring in the tags.
Try just a few images first to see whether you're happy with the mechanism, but it should work OK.

| PSA on its own cannot merge catalogues... if you can dance with MS Access,
you might be able to do something however.
Cheers
