I recently have had two separate drive failures. Fortunately, my redundancy planning includes two other external drives I'm cloning my photos to and have been able to copy the files onto to a new drive and then import the drive, using the exact same file structure back into LRC. the import worked as expected. However, based on the research I've conducted, it appears moving the files to a new drive breaks the connection alias since an entry in the Collection points back to a particular location. I've not been able to find solution to editing those pointers to associate the Collection entries to their new location. Does anyone have a clue as to a solution. I'm willing to start over with the import if there's a better way to accomplish the import and somehow not break the file connection in the Collection. For what's it worth, when I try to point a collection entry to the new location, I get an error which sort of makes sense, but seems odd that I couldn't just tell LRC where the file is now. The error is "Each file can only be associated with one photo". I would be grateful for any insights as my only option appears to be recreating the Collection again by locating all 400 photos one-by-one.
