I am using the trial version of PhotoDirector and still testing its features during this trial period. I'm wondering if it's possible to create new folders and/or move photos between folders (preferably using drag and drop) within the PhotoDirector interface and have those changes reflected on my hard drive where the pictures are stored. In other words, the ability to manage the folder and file structure either through the interface or Finder on my Mac. I've seen this feature available in some other applications like Lightroom and Luminar 4, but also saw a thread from 2011 in this forum suggesting the featue may not be availabe in PhotoDirector. Since I would purchase the latest version of PhD (ver 12), I'm wondering if this has been added or addressed. Thank you.

Hello Unhitch,
Welcome to the PhotoDirector forum 
Unfortunately, PhD isn't going to work that way.
If your photos are only stored on an external drive that's not permanently connected, you'll need to go to the Advanced tab on the Import screen & select "Make Extra Copy".
That will allow PhD to access the photos while your external drive is disconnected.

Dear PIX,
Sorry to hear that as it makes PhotoDirector a bit less user-friendly from my standpoint as I'm sure it is fairly common to store photos and videos on a separate drive to save space on the computer. That said, I do appreciate the speedy response!

I am using the trial version of PhotoDirector to take it for a spin before purchasing. I store all of my photos on an external drive and imported a few folders into PhotoDirector from the external drive. All was fine until I disconnected the external drive. At that point, I received a message that the photos were missing and I couldn't view the photos without this message appearing on the top of each picture. Since I plan to continue storing all of my photos on an external drive, but would like to be able to view the photos from the catalogue on my computer without the drive being connected to my computer, this is a concern for me. Is there any way to view photos that are imported from and stored on an external drive normally when the drive is not connected to the computer?
