I've been using LR5 for my initial processing of photos for several years, with no problems, but since early November, it will download them as usual, but the only way I can see the photos is by viewing them under "Previous Import." It shows the folders in the Navigator, with the total number of photos contained, but will not let me open them. I can process them when I see them in Previous Import. I can export them to PS, or to my HDR program, but it will not automatically import the new HDR files like before. Of note, this only affects folders downloaded since the first of November. I can still see and process older folders as usual.
I thought maybe I had too many files in my catalog, but Adobe says there is no limit. I've been keeping my photos organized under a folder for each year, and thought maybe I had exceeded the folder capacity for 2018, but when I just loaded them directly into the catalog, it still would not recognize them.
I need expert recommendations, because my wife is really tired of me yelling and screaming at my computer in frustration. She confirms this emphatically.
