In theory I should probably copy to the backups first. I could do the move with the file system then just tell lightroom where to find the directories. As I mentioned elsethread it turns out that the problem is with symbolic links. Rather than pointing LR to the directory in its apparent location if I point lightroom to the directory in its actual location and things work for now. > > On 2/14/2022 1:10 AM, Larry Colen wrote: >> My lightroom workflow involves importing my files onto my SSD, using that >> for the initial processing then, in lightroom, moving the files onto my >> primary long term copy and also duplicating onto my first and second level >> backups. >> I know better than to move files around outside of lightroom, lightroom gets >> confused and bad things happen. >> It turns out that in lightroom classic if I move the directories from one >> drive to another it gets really confused and loses them.
