MediaPro to Photo Supreme workflow

[kfeng]

Hi, I am trying to transfer several catalogues from MediaPro to Photo Supreme. I am not very familiar with either software since I didn't create the original catalogues, so I am feeling a little lost in the process.

These catalogues are particularly tricky because each MP catalogue contains a selection of (not all) images from multiple different folders (30+) stored across different hard drives. Ideally, I'd like to migrate the catalogues exactly as they are, without changing the file paths of the images. I'd like a process that is more efficient than manually selecting and importing each image/folder individually.

I've tried to follow the steps here https://www.idimager.com/mediapro-to-photo-supreme, but Photo Supreme is not recognizing the .XMP files in import. Is there something I am missing here?

I can create a csv with the file paths and filenames of each catalogue file in MP - is there a way to import images into Photo Supreme from a csv?

If there is a way to copy all the images from MP into one folder to then import to PS, I would be willing to give up the original file paths and keep them in one folder called "catalog_name".

I'd appreciate any advice on an effective workflow to move from MP to PS. Thank you!

Hi and welcome to PSU forum.

"...but Photo Supreme is not recognizing the .XMP files in import. Is there something I am missing here?"

Did you also carry out point 4?
"4. MediaPro can create an inconsistency between metadata in XMP and Exif/IPTC-IIM. To resolve that, select the imported thumbnails, right click on a thumbnail and select Metadata - Convert Metadata to XMP. That will fix any inconsistencies. This is a one time operation."
