Here is my setup: I usually import photos from my memory card to the cloud based Lightroom on my iPad. I also use Lightroom Classic so all photos will eventually be synced to the cloud and the originals will then be downloaded to my hard drive. Sometimes I have to make room in my cloud so I break the sync and delete my originals in the cloud. So now I only have the collection in Classic with the originals on my hard drive. So far so good.
I usually just let Lightroom Classic download to the default gibberish-folder within the Mobile Downloads.lrdata-file. Yesterday I needed to make som space on my hard drive so I moved all originals in one of my synced collections from the gibberish folder to an external drive, knowing that this will cause Lightroom Classic to display the missing file icon.
Now to my problem. Usually when I move files like this, I just update the folder location so Lightroom know where my photos have moved. But I can't see the gibberish folder in Lightrooms folder panel. Maybe because it's inside the lrdata package file? So I can't right click the old folder and update the location. I can of course point out the new location for a single photo, but the "find nearby photos" does not work so I must do it manually for every single photo in my collection (not a reasonable option).
Any ideas?
