I tried importing 2000+ cell phone images from a folder into the same location. The thumbnails only show for the first 50 or so then stop at the first video file. After that, they are all solid grey--NOT DIMMED thumbs. They exist in the folder but are not imported and are not in another location. So when I click the Import button, the status bar gets up to 20% then stops. When I get tired of seeing no progress, I cancel the import and get a message that says No Photos or Videos were found to import. Tried that a few times. Now Lr won't even open at all.
I went to the folder that Lr is in H:\Users\Roy Administrator\Pictures\Lightroom and found a mess.
The size of the folders in the screenshot below starting from the first one gets larger and larger.
I imagine there is a lot of redundant files in each and could probably delete most of them up to the most current ones:
3.7Gb in all the folders below:
The folder below has 38000 folders in it but 0 bytes. I imagine I could delete this Previews.lrdata folder:
And then I found another Lr folder on my C drive which I'm pretty sure is old and not relevant' I'm just scared to delete it:
So problem 1: I can't open Lr but I think it might open if I restart the PC. But why is it not opening after my attempts to import?
2. I want to import all those 2000 cell phone photos AND be able to see all the thumbs while doing it as I should, and
3. clean up my Lr folder and delete any unused and irrelevant files.
They stopped responding to me on the Adobe Lr Forum. I am slow lately due to Covid-19 but I do need to get this going ASAP in case I get a gig.
Thanks in advance.
