Lightroom: After export and import catalog the publish services are lost. How can I copy?

[ralfw6279365]

I want to move with my lightroom catalog to another pc. All worked fine, except the fact that all publish Services are lost. I work with folders (year_month_day) for the pictures and use the publish services to export marked pictures to theme folders.  Is there a chance to export the publish settings (Name of the folders) and the marks on each picture?

Thanks.Ralf

Ralf,

You don't need to export and import as catalogue. You can simply copy the catalogue, images, and previews to the new machine.

Thanks Hal!

The link helped, my mistake was to use the "Export as catalog" function in lightroom. The manual copying of the relevant files following the instruction worked perfect. Thanks again.
