Hi,
I have a problem which I can't seem to solve on my own or by Googling.
Scenario:
Recently moved my catalogue and all photos from an internal drive of an iMac to Windows 10 and an external G-Raid disc. While doing this I also moved up one or two version of Lightroom but can't confirm exactly from what version atm. Everything went smooth with about 4/5 of the files and photos but the rest were marked with "?", not found.
Problem:
It's easy enough to click and execute "Find Missing Folder" - results in the folder being properly added to the catalogue, however the photos in that folder is not if the filenames of the photos contain any Swedish characters (åäö). It's also easy to click one of those photos and select "Locate", find the exact photo and get it added back in (even if it contains a Swedish character). Now this is where the huge problem begins. Even with the box "Find Nearby Missing Photos" checked, Lightroom constantly just adds one photo at a time. When clicking "Select" I get a warning saying that the selected file does not have the same file name as the one selected (see attached screen grab). Challenge is, as far as I can see, they are named exactly the same. This problem becomes huge because of scale, it would take me a long time to fix this manually, one photo at a time.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Karl Magnus Troedsson
