If you want to check out a catalog, i.e. copy it to another directory, you can first change its composition, or more precisely, reduce it. To do this, you define so-called filters in the Edit project dialog box, which are "pressed" onto the relevant projects like "stamps". Once a filter of this type has been applied, the corresponding project file can be addressed selectively.
With V12.9, new functions were added to the Check out catalog dialog.
