Catalog on two drives

(1/1)

mkjensen:
Hi,
Is it possible to have ThumbsPlus cataloq on two drives ?

I have all my photos on the computer's internal drive, but also a complete copy on an external drive.

Accessing images on the internal drive is fine, but when trying to access on the external drive, I can not load the image as ThumbPlus ask for the internal drive's image.

Any help is appreciated,

Thank you

You can catalog the images of both drives in the same database. Or you can use the external drive as a passive backup of your images and your database. But to try and use the database thumbnails of the internal drive with the images of the external drive is asking for trouble.

You can right-click on a drive in the Location panel and use 'Volume Properties' to see the physical properties of that drive, and the database properties of the drive that was matched to it.
