if folder moved in operating system instead of in lightroom, link between catalog , folder breaks, , question-mark icon appears on folder in folders panel.

  1. to restore link, right-click (windows) or control-click (mac os) on folder , choose find missing folder context menu.
  2. navigate file path of moved folder , click choose.

 

 

this how sync lightroom match see on harddrive:

if contents of folder in catalog don’t match contents of same folder on volume, can synchronize 2 folders. when synchronize folders, have option of adding files have been added folder not imported catalog, removing files have been deleted, , scanning metadata updates. photo files in folder , subfolders can synchronized. can determine folders, subfolders, , files imported.

note: the synchronize folder command not detect duplicate photos in catalog. lightroom not have function identifies duplicate files.

 

  1. in folders panel, select folder want synchronize.
  2. choose library > synchronize folder.
  3. in synchronize folder dialog box, of following:
    • to import photos appear in folders have not been imported in catalog, select import new photos. if select show import dialog before importing, can specify folders , photos imported.
    • to remove photos have been deleted folder not catalog, select remove missing photos catalog. if option dimmed, no files missing. (you can choose show missing photos display photos in grid view.)
    • to scan metadata changes made files in application, choose scan metadata updates.
  4. click synchronize.
  5. if import photos dialog box opens, confirm folders , files want import, , click import.

 

if have missing folder empty, use synchronize folder command remove catalog.
