Robert-

That's all I need to see that I must stick with my antiquated system of:

-Current pix on local HDD
- keyword them with Photo Mechanic (embedded in file - no sidecar)
- transfer to external drive
- ingest into Media Pro for archival catalog
- copy to offsite external drive for safety
- keep catalog file on Dropbox so it can be searched from desktop or laptop
- keep my sanity which doesn't understand why iphoto, aperture and LR need their own catalogs



hope you solve this - you're a better man than I am :-)

Well Robert's experience cost him two hrs, but the simplicity of the workflow might save you more than that a week Tom?
