Hey guys,
So I use Lightroom Classic to create my Web Galleries for my clients to purchase prints. I’m in the process of exporting and moving catalogs around from previous hard-drive locations to a new location. Obviously in Lightroom you can export a specific set of folders as a Catalog and them import them to the new location. The problem I’m having is that the previously created Backlight Web Galleries that were created for some of those folders, in older Lightroom location, doesn’t come with the exported LR Catalog. Is there a way of moving those Backlight Galleries from a previous Catalog, over to a new location’s Catalog?
Thx.
Publisher Album Sets and Albums are catalog specific, like Collections. So the album information is not stored in the folders.
Other than the Lightroom Voyager plug-in, which seems to be no longer available, I don’t know of any way to export regular and Publisher collections for use in another or a new catalog.
Can you just move the entire catalog to the new location?
Ahh, Just found a site where you can download Lightroom Voyager

Hey Rod,
Thanks for the reply. I have multiple large Catalogs relating to various session types. A huge Catalog for all my legacy Portrait Clients, one for my Sports Art Clients, etc. (they’re all 20 years worth of files, so really huge.) Those are all on my 32TB RAID system. I keep the recent couple of years directly on my Mac, with SSD drives for smoother editing, access and such, I’m moving older files to the external RAID drive and would like to keep the Publisher galleries with the LR Catalogs for reference.
…Looks like Voyager is a Windows only option, I’m on a Mac.
