Why is my Panel records did not reflect the folders on my hard drive?

When I import photos into Lightroom, I set it up so that the images are sorted in folders by date. For example, I created a folder in 2011, so if I import photos taken on December 18, 2011, Lightroom creates a subfolder in my 2011 called 2011-12-18 record and dives photos imported into this folder. I used Lightroom for years, and in all this time, after an import, I see the folders in the library panel, as this (parent folder of 2011 with all subfolders named by date):

Now, instead, Lightroom is to put the images imported into the right place on my hard drive (creating a subfolder with the date and put the images imported into this folder), but in the folders in the library panel, the folder containing the image is not displayed in the appropriate parent folder.

Here is a screenshot of the import dialog box showing that I import an image and that Lightroom will create a new folder named 2011-12-18 and place the image inside (in this screenshot, you can not see this new folder is a subfolder of 2011, but you can tell it is a subfolder of the same level as all other folders for all other dates) :

After import, when I look in my Finder, a new image folder is in the right place (here you can see it is in the subfolder of the folder 2011 2011-12-18):

4.png

But it does appear in the files from my library not Panel not as a * subfolder * 2011, but at the same time for 2011.

If I try to drag the 2011-12-18 folder in the folders Panel in 2011 folder in the folders Panel, I get the following error message:

5.png

So my only option to correct the problem with the files Panel is to do the following:

1. go to the Finder and move this folder 2011-12-18 to my office. This causes Lightroom does not know where the file is and put the big question mark on it in the folders Panel.

2 right click on the folder with the question mark in Lightroom and click on 'Find the missing folder.'

3. Locate the place where I moved the folder (for example, my office).

4. in the folders Panel, drag the folder 2011-12-18 in the 2011 folder (which will also move this back up on my hard drive from my office to the 2011 folder).

Obviously, this is not here. For years, whenever I imported the photos in Lightroom, it created the new folders, and folders in the library panel reflects the hierarchy of folders on my hard drive.

I went again and again my settings to import to see if I've accidentally changed something, but I don't see anything out of place.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to get the Panel files from Lightroom to reflect the real hard disk after import, without having to go through all these machinations?

Thanks a lot for your help!

P.S. I use Lightroom 3.6 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 but happened for at least a few months. I hope that when I updated to 3.6, it would solve the problem, but no luck.

I just wanted to update with a solution I found by a user on Photoshop.com, in case someone reads it later and encounter the same problem:

In Lightroom (not the Finder), I did all the following:

1 create a new folder called 2011new.

2 moved in 2011new all subfolders of 2011.

3 remove the 2011 folder.

4 renamed the folder 2011new 2011.

Problem solved! Now when I import in 2011 file, everything works as it should. Yay!

  • Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    Hello

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
    Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize the new WD external hard drive added to the usb port

    Recently, I tried to add my third USB WD hard drive to my computer.  It's a My Book Essential.  The meter turns and the virtual cd drive is listed in WD, but the hard drive itself does not appear on the list of devices with a drive letter.  My my first two books are readers: J:, and L: I have no "new device found" message   I search for new devices and it the PC do not find anything.  If I click on the virtual CD drive (M :) it askes if I want the computer to allow WD to make changes...) I say Yes and the screen flashes and nothing happens.
    The drive be defective?  Any other ideas?

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect the external hard drive on another USB port?

    Try to connect the WD external hard drive on another computer.

    Follow these steps:

    Method 1: You can run the troubleshooter in the following article and see if this fits the Bill.

    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Also, run the Fixit.
    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us

    Method 2: Check if the external hard drive is recognized in disk management and assign a drive letter to the same.

    To open disk management, follow these steps:

    a. click Start, type disk management in the start search box and press enter.

    (b) if the drive is detected in disk management, I suggest you to assign a drive letter and see if that does the trick.

  • Can not resize the partition to external hard drive

    I have a LaCie D2 Quadra 1 TB external drive that I used occasionally since 2009. Way back when I partitioned into two parts, the two put in place under Mac OS X extended (journaled). I put one in 867 ~ GB and the smallest to 133 ~ GB. The smallest one I use for a bootable backup.

    I want to increase the size of the bootable part. DiskUtility looks that would, without erasing any data. But even once I selected for the largest part smallen (without going into the blue "in use" section) I can't always increase the size of the bootable. The grabber resizer indicator seems pointless because it won't pull up. (It's in the lower corner of R).

    I made sure property allows me to read and write on both partitions.

    I will be grateful for a solution.

    I love the develop module, but I'm doing something wrong in the library

    In the library, under 'Catalogue, all the photographs', all my photos appear showing the stars, cropping, and development. The problem is that these changes are not for the photos on my hard drive. When I re-import them in Lr, the changes are not there. My workflow is to do nothing after development or export them to the original with a new file name destination. Anyway, it is that they get a new file name without change of development when they are imported into Lr.  Please help (PC user)

    And others have explained, Lightroom does not apply the changes to the file. All changes are stored in the catalog, and then applied to the image when it is displayed in Lightroom. If you want a copy of the image with any changes so that you can share with others or send it to a laboratory to print, then you must export a copy of this image by using the export dialog box in Lightroom.

    Features of Lightroom as well by its design. The images that you import are always left in their original condition, unmodified.

  • I tried to create a partition on drive D, but did not have the letter D.

    * Original title: Windows 7 and D drive

    I tried to create a partition on drive D, (don't use it on my computer) through disk management, complete the Wizard but did not have the letter D. I'm curious to know why this is happening.

    It could belong to a shadow drive or Player cards on the machine. Simply use the next available letter...

    I thought that this might be the case, but I wasn't sure. I have software from our parent company in Asia and must be run on drive D, great pain. they want it distributed in North America, but our clients would not want this restriction. I try to explain the powers that they need to return to square one on this.

    I appreciate your comments.

    You can see the disk manager in Control Panel.  If there is a hidden D: drive, it will display here.  My guess is the drive letter is not assigned or assigned to the next letter somewhere down the line. If there is no D: drive you can assign the D: drive in there.   You can change the drive letters in there also.  give it a try.

    * Note * I found the solution... Before I used the system of virtualization and Citrix (XENSERVER) there was little different. That's why I'm stuck on a few easy steps... Well, the problem was that I use 61GB HDD, 5.5 GB of memory. When I create the VM I "ve used the maximum size of HARD drive and left no space for the SWAP file. I used 58 GB, and you have to assume + memory size, this means, 58 GB + 5.5 GB...   So who is right for which I didn't have enough space. Hopefully someone will find it useful. See you soon,.

  • Hyperion Planning - invalid or did not find the configuration of the module

    Hello

    I modified the essbase property file in essbase server and report as server below and restart all the services of hyperion.

    netConnectRetry = 30

    netDelay = 2000

    netSocketTimeOut = 20000

    After restarting the services, I am not able to open planning applications. I get the error message - 'invalid or did not find the configuration of the module.

    Thank you

    Michel K

    This error is straight after the restart services, usually that type of error can be caused if the jdbc connection pool is full, which shouldn't really be the case when the service starts up.

    Are you able to connect to schedule directly if? If this isn't the case, restart the new service and check if the errors are recorded.

    See you soon
