Missing files from the catalog

Recently, I noticed that 18 files containing images captured during the last half of 2015 are missing from my catalog.  All my images are placed in a single catalog.  These records and images placed in these, are present in the main folder on my hard drive where all my images are stored, catalog backups that I created after each important Lightroom use and in the trash.  I can say with certainty, that I have did not remove these files and pictures accidentally or intentionally.  I suspect that these images can be imported again but probably no parameters and, perhaps, of metadata.  I know that I can go back to the last backup of the catalog that contains these images but I would lose a significant amount of work done during the last two weeks, marking hundreds of images with keywords, and adjusting the parameters of development.

Oh I hope someone can explain this situation and help me with a resolution.

DJ is right; It doesn't really matter.

The only reason to have a distinctive folder structure is if it helps find stuff browsing the Finder; but it is the poor way to find photos that it's not worth putting a lot of effort in. Some applications and other things can cause you to need a folder; for example, I have a folder called 'For the Forums' or something that I export to Lr, so I can find pictures to download on forums like this. But I do not import even 90% of files in there (I could MOVE JPEG files in there in Lr, but it's very very very different from export tell a RAW edited under a PNG image to this folder.) And once exported, I don't need to import export).

Some applications want to a dedicated folder, as Mylio. Sometimes a folder contains images that do not belong to me. I love dates because I move older files off my boot drive to external to save space. I often add a name of place or another template to a folder when I'm still editing and play with them; often not. I have some folders on an external named for the place because I took so many shots, but they tend to be just to say "EBRPD/Tiilden." I have to do some moving off Lr because my pictures folders contain files (such as PPM, dop sidecars and some other stuff) that Lr will not move.

Here are some examples:

  • File extension is missing when you download files from the web

    I just got a new PC with preinstalled Windows7. From day one, I have the problem that when I download files from the internet while you have no extension, so when I try to run them, told me that they do not have an associated program. I then rename and add the missing extension and all is well. But it's very annoying to have to do every time :(

    I come home from work and now everything works fine - even my webcam which worked yesterday either. Just shows how much it means to close and start fee in time ;)

    Seems that my problem has healed itself, but thanks for the help that was offered to me.

  • Reconnect before proceeding... (No, just remove them from the catalog)

    I met the 'Media files have been moved because they were imported in your catalogue' and I get the search never ends for them.  How can I tell PE just remove them from the catalog?  I deleted these files by accident, but it's normal.  Rather than offer me the possibility to remove them and move on, PE seeks constantly over my hard drives and show up with the same list, he always does.  Just remove them and don't ask me no more!  How to spend it?

    I prefer not to keep the default choice of automatic search for the missing files. Open the Edit menu > preferences > files and uncheck this option. You will be free to begin a search, when necessary.

    Then use the file menu 'reconnect all missing files. You get a list of missing files in the window closing. In the middle of the second line, you have a small icon to open a menu in which:

    -You can choose all

    - then delete all.

  • How can I see all the missing files in the 12 elements?

    I have a very large catalog and there are now a few hundred missing files because of me, moving or deleting them out of the elements.

    Is there a way to display only the missing files in the elements in order to be able to work through them and decide to search manually or remove them from my catalog?

    Thanks for any help

    =====================================
    Are you running Windows XP?

    Please post more details. The more information you share
    you chances of a solution.

    How do you know it was a virus?

    The virus has been removed?

    When the problem happened everything first?

    "Was" folder on the desktop? You say all
    folder is missing?

    The file might be in the trash?

    Is it possible that your files are still there but have
    become hidden?

    Reach... Control Panel / folder Options / View tab.
    ... To check "Show the hidden files and folders" / apply / OK.

    If the photo thumbs reappear... they can turn washed
    outside. To clear this up... right click a thumbnail or a
    selected (highlighted) group or folder and the
    menu... Choose... Properties, uncheck the box.
    'Hidden' / apply / OK.

  • Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

    By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

    I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

  • can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

    I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

    Actually, no. Deleting files directly from the sparebundle will lead to file corruption.

    The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.
