Replied earlier, but I do not see it in the thread. Maybe I did something
wrong. Here I go again. Sorry if it appears to others twice.

TO: Dr Krebs,
RE: Archiving

The third part of your workflow is the problem. Use Dt to move the files to
the NAS. No need to re-import, sync side-cars, etc.

① In { Lighttable } mode, use the «Select» module to select all images, (or
select the ones you want to archive).

② Use the «Selected image[s]» module to «move…» the selected images to the
NAS.

Done. No sculls, no re-importation.

Also, read the manual on the «Selected Image[s]» module, specifically on
the «move…», «copy…», «duplicate», «copy locally», and, «resync local copy»
options, so you may consider other ways to adjust your workflow.

Sincerely,
