I'm watching Laura Shoe's video "One Solution to Organizing Images". I have all of my images stored on an external hard drive in what is called the "Permanent Pictures Folder". I'd like to revise the way my images are organized applying her own personal method. The first thing I did was rename "Permanent Pictures Folder" to "Photo Library". I did not venture any farther then that simple task. However, my intention is to eventually develop drop down lists by year, event, and location. The problem that arose immediately was when I went into Explorer and renamed "Permanent Pictures Folder" to "Photo Library" the new label did not show up in LR. Even more alarming was the fact that there were question marks by all of the images. Fortunately, I performed a backup before I attempted to rename the folder and was able to open up the original catalog. So everything is cool for now. I did not change the location of any images which I know from previous experience is not a wise move. All I did was change the name of the master folder. I'm wondering what I did that created this problem. TIA.
