Hi all
At the moment I have my Lightroom folders ( LR cat. lrcat, preview.lrdata, LR setting + backups) on an external drive, as I till recently used several machines to excess LR. As I sold my I mac and got myself a 4K monitor I now work only on the laptop.
I often have the problem that, evn that I do not move the external drive I get a error message, LR encountered a problem and has to quit. It seems there is a problem with conectivity to the exHD. However this ONLY happens with LR. At no time do I have this with other applications stored on the exHD
To make a long story short, I want to move LR completly back onto the laptop HD. Can I just copy and past (drag) all the folders on the HD or is there a protocol to follow.
I know I could do that with the lrcat folder, but how would LR " find the preview data?
Thanks in advance for your help
