I have imported my catalog from an older version (Lightroom 9 or so) to the newest Lightroom 9.2.1.:
This message was shown before importing:
So Lightroom obviiously adds "-2" to some folders and files. Some other files and folders seem to be kept like they are (without adding "-2". Do I need all of these files and folders? Or can I remove some of them (Lightroom did not rename, e.g. the items not being renamed. And why are they left at all?)?
Should one manually rename (with the old names, without "-2") the files and folders Lightroom renamed? Or should one do it by using Lightroom (if yes, how?)?
And how can I import / export / get all of my own settings, Smart Collections, my own presets (they are completely missing) and such from the old to the new version?
