Cataloged folders in ON1 Photo RAW allow you to find, organize, and edit your photos quickly. Cataloged folders inside ON1 Photo RAW will also enable you to organize large groups of images quickly. Once you create a cataloged folder, your image preview files and metadata will be stored in a small media cache. This media cache allows you to browse and view through massive amounts of raw photo files instantly.
Cataloged folders are also great for your workflow because they help to keep your photos and changes in one place. If you make changes to a folder or photo within a cataloged folder, those changes will be detected, and your cataloged folder will be updated to reflect that. Cataloged folders are perfect for keeping your photos and folders in one, easy to find place so you can access them at any time.

Hi Dylan,
Where does ON1 store the previews and all the editing information? I see there is an ON1 folder in the Application Support folder in the Library, and it seems to get very large the more you put in a catalogue. Can you explain where everything goes and how it will affect the space on my Mac’s hard drive, even though I keep the photos on an external drive? Can it be moved to the external drive to save space on my internal hard drive? I’d appreciate a better understanding of how things are organised.
Cheers,
Nigel Crooks

How do I stop indexing external drives? I don’t want the computer time wasted on it, the internal storage space in the catalog or the junk on1 files added to the external drive. It does not need to be cataloged, let me stop it, let me set a preference to never index anything I don’t specifically tell it to.
