Within Lightroom 3 I keep each years photos in a folder, 2011, 2012, 2013, etc. Awhile back I moved all but the last two years to an internal backup drive (Drive 2) via an OWC Voyager enclosure to make room on my internal drive. Recently while transporting this drive I dropped it. While it still functions with no apparent problems I decided to copy all the photos year by year to a new drive (Drive 6) using Data Backup. I thought I understood how to relink this new drive to my Lightroom Catalog by the following method:
1) With Lightroom open I selected Drive 2
2) I then selected the year 2011
3) I then right clicked 2011 and selected Find Missing Folder
4) In the Finder window I selected Drive 6 year 2011 and clicked OK
After doing this the year 2011 images still have a ? on them
If I then right click on the 2011 folder on Drive 6 I have the option of Update Folder Location.
Should I click on Update File Location? And have I followed the correct proceedure or is there a better way?
Thanks!
P.S. I am currently using an old iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 but
I recently purchased a new iMac running High Sierra. Just haven't
found the time to switch over.
