Oy - wouldn't a new catalog contain none of the changes/edits?
I'd move it outside of LR (just because why induce the overhead of
having some other application doing the moving) and then just tell LR
"they're over HERE now".
Not sure how to relocate/point to a different copy when the original
is there and the thumbnails don't have that "?" asking where the
original is, though.
I don't know. I guess that depends on how lightroom stores information
about edits & changes.
I *think* it may use sidecar (.xmp) files similar to the way Bridge
stores the changes from ACR. If I were moving/copying files with Bridge,
I'd be moving/copying the sidecar files along with the .PEF files, and
the information about the changes would be there in the new location. I
don't know why Adobe would reinvent the wheel when they have a system
for storing information that works. But I don't know.
If lightroom uses a different system, the changes might not be there,
but I'm sure there must be some way to transfer information about
changes & edits into the new catalog.
And I'm pretty damn sure "make a new catalog" is going to be at least
part of the answer.
