cannot move images from one folder to another in LR6

Running win 10.  When you drag the image, it seems to move to the new folder, but when I release the mouse button I get a dialog box saying that it cannot be moved. 'file could not be moved to selected destination', that's all it says.

Hi zeldon

  • Please close Lightroom
  • Right-click on the icon for Lightroom
  • Select run as administrator
  • Then repeat the move operation

  • Cannot move photos from one folder to another folder in Lightroom 6

    I just upgraded to Lightroom 6. I lost the ability to drag and drop the images in different folders in Lightroom. I click on the photo, move it to the folder (a white + sign in a green circle appears), but there is no movement and I can not drag and drop them to the folders on the left side of Lightroom.

    I've seen this question before but no solution has been offered outside of "make sure you are clicking on the image and not the surrounding area." I have done this, restarted Lightroom, restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom and spent a lot of time in searching the Internet to solve the problem without success.

    I can create folders in Lightroom, but also these folders cannot be moved. I can only remove them.

    I will continue to look for a solution, but this prevents my workflow so much that I don't think I can work with Lightroom.

    I'm running OS X on an iMac 27 "10.8.5

    Try to delete your preferences file

  • Cannot move photos from one folder to another, because there is already a file with the same name

    I store all of my photos on an external hard drive (I have save sometimes).
    On this record, there are a bucket, with all the pictures.
    But in this bucket, there are several small buckets.

    I want pictures of these small buckets for the largest bucket.
    I understand that they are "already there"- but I just want to have all in one place.
    I need is these small buckets, because they do not really use more.

    I'm able to drag + drop some of the photos in the larger bucket, but not all of them.
    When I transferred a small group of pictures, I get a popup box telling me that some of my photos cannot be transferred.
    This is because a file already exists in the destination with this name.
    But the file name is actually for a different photo.

    Screen Shot 2016-01-13 at 4.31.56 PM.png

    I understand WHY Lightroom protects me against this problem.
    But I can't find a way to move these images and rename them at the same time.

    I managed to move a SINGLE photo at a time and "keep two copies" option.
    But then LR renames the file 'IRK_1234.copy. NAVE"or something like that.
    I don't want that. I would like to rename it to something like "IRK_1234 - x.NEF", where the hyphen-x is the next available number.

    Is there an elegant way to do it?
    What Miss me?


    I use LR - CC, on a MacBook Pro on OSX El Capitan 10.11.2

    Just rename the file in Lightroom BEFORE you try to move it!

  • Whenever I have move photos from one folder to another file, the picture is no longer accessible.

    I use Windows XP - perfectly up-to-date.  Whenever I have move photos from one folder to another file, the picture is no longer available and cannot be removed with using unlocker.  This has happened for several years.  I copy pictures and new folders whenever I want to move them, but sometimes I forget and move them and then I lose the picture I'm trying.  I also noticed that there is a strange file that opens in the trash that won't let me remove it without using unlocker. These files start with "Dd" followed be a number.  When I delete these use unlocker, another will appear the a different number on this subject.  It is a very maddening problem.  It is not possible for me to do a system restore because it lasts for quite awhile.  Please help - I'm tired of losing pictures that I can't replace.  Thank you for your help.

    ======================================
    The dialog box asking if you want to "replace the existing image.
    occurs when the target folder contains a file with the same
    name that you are moving.

    Unfortunately... when a file is overwritten (replaced) with another
    file of the same name... the original is unrecoverable.

    There is a slight possibility... If the photos had been altered in
    Windows Live Photo Gallery... the unreleased original versions which
    could be cancelled in may still be in the following folder:

    C:\Users\\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows Gallery\Original photos.

    Good luck...

    When you manage files in iCloud, from an iPad, I can move to the files from one folder to another, but not in the Preview file. Secondly, when I check the file Preview to iCloud from Mac content is so different when you look at an iPad. Why is the gap between the iPad and the Mac?

    Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.

  • Move photos from one folder to another?

    I try to orgnize photos but cannot see how to move a photo from a folder to a different existing folder or a newly created folder. XP showed the list of existing folders and I could easily just drag photos in the selected folder. I appreciate any suggestions.

    Maybe missing just the navigation pane and the function "auto expand" as in Win XP.

    Click on organize-> select "folder and search options" and got to the general tab. It could be two boxes "show all files" and "automatic indicator of current folder" (or the same name - is not Win 7 us). Just check the two options. Eventually your navigation pane should display the entire folders to the current folder tree. Gruss/greetings G. Born - Articles: http://blog.borncity.com
