What happened to the Catalog Manager?

Until recently, I could get to the old Catalog Manager by going to Collections.  There I could find the original file name (from my camera) of image I submitted, so I could then go back to search for it on my hard drive.  I never entered metadata for each image, and now I have no way to find a specific image.  Does anyone know a way to do a reverse image search, but instead of searching the internet, I want to search my hard drive? Thx.

Edit: And now there is no way to copy and paste descriptions and keywords, so I can copy to other sites.  Am I missing something?   :(

Now I can no longer select a thumbnail for videos?
At what second is an automatic thumbnail created? It seems like it's at 00:05 in most cases ?
In one of my videos, SS selected the thumbnail at 00:14.
So it is not clear.

edit:
Everything is fine. Only now have I seen that I can switch to the old SS version.

I cannot see my earning stats anymore.

Does it happen to anyone else?

I'm not sure why they bother having the Catalog Manager at all. If you can't even do the absolute basics - such as searching for a specific image using a keyword, it serves no purpose.

i keep an excel sheet with my filenames, captions & tags  - so i can find any image very quickly. [ my archives contain over 250k images including original s, intermediate processing, etc but my spreadsheets only need to record about 10% of that]

curious how you were able to sbmit without metadata?
