Recently I purchased a 2019 iMac and updated my LR 6.14 to subscription LrC 11.1. My images had all been stored on my LaCie external hard drive, and when I initiated 11.1, I either (by mistake) directed LR to store the images on my SSD desktop drive, or it did it itself by default. (see attached image)
So now, it seems like I have two problems:
1. Uploaded images appear to be stored on the desktop drive, as seen in the folders window on the left.
2. Images that I have uploaded and that are recognized by LR as being in the collection can display in Library mode but not in Develop mode.
I had made some previous comments in another thread and those comments were moved to a thread called "File Not Found." I think that I have since found the files, but additional tasks remain that I need help with, and I have listed them here.
I'd like to accomplish three things:
1. Change my destination for imported images back to to my LaCie external drive, which is where it was when I was in my old computer and using LR 6.14. (See attached image) I may have accomplished this, but I'd like to confirm that I did it correctly by reading how it's done somewhere. Looking for a source—maybe "Missing FAQ?"
2. Be able to develop images that I recently imported my collection. I'm wondering if they need to be shifted to storage on the LaCie in order for me to work on them, as they are part of a group that have missing links. I've clicked on images and "Find Missing Folders" to relink them but am not getting a clear indication of where they are or how to restore their links.
3. I'd like to restore links to images that somehow lost their link after I migrated to 11.1. I have about 150, including the current 35 that I had just uploaded before I discovered these problems.
I've just read through the two ebooks, "Moving Computers" and "LR Classic Quickstart." I'm not getting a clear insight regarding where the missing links can be that I have to click on to restore. I attached an image of what results when I click on "Find Missing Folders." Makes no sense to me.
I will purchase the " Missing FAQ" book to see if that answers my questions.
Advice welcomed, and thanks in advance.
