From: Larry Colen
Last weekend, when photographing at a dojo event, I ran out of space
on the harddrive that I've been using for my raw files. So, I put
the raw files from the weekend onto an external drive.
When I was at Costco today, they had a good price on a 3TB USB3
external drive, so I picked it up to be for just my raw files. I've
been using lightroom to copy directory trees over from the old (Mixed
use) drive to the new (just photo) drive. I've been running into some
problems when part of a directory tree is already there and I can't
just copy the top of the remaining tree over because the top level
directory already exists. But, I'm solving those hiccups.
I've got a bunch of files on the external drive, but rather than
moving them to the new drive, I want to copy them, and just tell
lightroom to use the copy, that way I've got all of the files in a
convenient place for me to share with other people. How do I go
about this?
I think I've seen something about it, but don't remember where, or
how to find it.
I'm not a lightroom guru by any means, but I think that once you have
all your files in the place you want them, you can make a new lightroom
catalog that points to those files in the location you want it to point to.
Whenever you want to share them using lightroom, you use that new catalog.
