In PS Elements 21 I have now moved all my images from a DUFF location to where I want them; see my previous post. I have also backed up the image data files, both onsite and offsite (using my Macrium software) and done a full backup in Elements. Too many backups??
I am now looking at where the catalogs are stored. I have two. One is for my digital images (Main Catalog 1) and scans of 35mm films (Scans 35MM). However they are not quite in the place I would like so wish to move them.
When I open Manage > Move I am presented with a dialog box with three location options. I want to use Custom Location, which shows the current location of the catalog, but there is no way to select a new location. Nothing responds to the cursor.
How do I select a new location for the catalog?

Hi athegn , I am not very familiar with the Organizer, but in PSE 2021 I do not see Manage in the main menu. I do see File>Manage Catalogs... (I believe the Move... item in that same dropdown menu is for individual files, not catalogs). |

Yes File > Manage Catalog > Highlight catalog > Move. The cursor is unresponsive to Custom Options.

OK, I got a little further. Here is what I chose:
File> Manage Catalogs...When I select the catalog in the window near the bottom the Move button becomes active. However, after I click the Move button the OK button in the Move Catalog dialog is grayed out until I click the Catalogs Accessible by All Users radio button.
I did not continue after than to see if I could actually move my catalog.

Thank you. I was misusing the radio buttons.

You are welcome. I’m glad we were able to figure it out.
