After a long time trying out various alternative I have decided to make the move to Capture One from Lightroom. This morning I migrated my Lightroom Catalog to a Capture One catalog. The process was easy enough but took a lot less time than I thought, a little over an hour for 80,000 images. I expected to see an activity to build previews, but that did not happen. I looked in the catalog file for previews and and found folders with subfolders for previews and thumbnails. They each had very few entries. I then opened some catalog folders in Capture One and found that caused the program to build previews. My next thought was to go to my top-level folder and open up all the images and force Capture One to generate all of the previews. When I did that, however, I discovered that images in the subfiloders are not displayed. On top of that, searching on the top-level folder finds nothing. So at this point I can only see and search on images that exist in the currently selected folder. So, can anyone help me with these questions?

1. How can I force Capture One to generate previews?

2. How can I see all the images in the catalog?

3. How can I search on the entire catalog?

Thanks.
