I have 2 catalogs with different folders that I would like to merge together (the folders) WITH all the metadata info I just spent hours filling in. When I exported the one folder thinking I could then import it into the second catalog, the metadata (besides copyright info) did not export with it. What am I missing here?

Thanks for any help. I am catalog challenged....

You'll need to either export it as a new catalogue (which contains the metadata)--not just exporting the files (& then import the catalogue into the other one), or you'll need to enable the creation of sidecar xmp files (these files also record the metadata)--it's an option on the Lightroom Management (File Preferences), then just synchronise the files once they're in the new folder.
