Hi
I have LR Classic 10.4 Release on a PC running Windows 10 Pro 21H1 OS build 19043.1237.
I run LR on two computers a laptop for travel photos and a desktop for the main catalog.
Following copying all my travel photos for 2020 into my main desktop, I exported the catalog for that year (without the photos or previews). Then I imported that lrcat into my desktop. The importation caused the generation of a new set of folders on C:\Users\ Chris Harvie\Pictures\2020 where as I had imported my photos into my HD E:\2020 so now I have two folders for 2020 one in E:\ drive the other on C:\.
The C:\....\2020\ 2020-01-01 has a ? mark in front e.g. ?2020-01-01 (updated catalog without photos), my e:\2020\2020-01-01 doesn't (original catalog with photos). I
tried to find the missing photos on E:\ and LR ask me if I want to combine the subfolders. I say merge:
thereafter, I get this message box:
The travel catalog isn't merging with my desktop.
What can I do to solve this issue? I have over 100- subfolders to combine. I would like to be able to access on my desktop, my latest edits from my Travel catalog on my laptop.
Should I:
1. remove my 2020 photos on my E:\, install on my C:\users\...pictures\2020\ OR
2. export photos and lrcat from my travel laptop and import into desktop, then move into the folder I want them to be in i.e. e:\. Part of the problem is that LR upon importing a lrcat doesn't give you an option to decides where the files should go! OR
3. something else that is suggested
Thanks for any help
Cheers
