![]() ![]() SOME of the images in the top level folder ARE also duplicates of those in the year/month folders, so when she moves images to the correct location, she gets the error that some images are already there.Īt present, since I'm not 100% sure she doesn't have different keywords on different duplicates (see 1 above), I'm NOT having her delete these duplicates, figuring we'll address those after as many images as possible have been moved to where they belong. From what I've seen in the past, this is evidence of duplicates, and duplicates that have been duplicated multiple times. AND, there are files with "-2-2-3-2" type appendages. There are files with a "-2" at the end of the name. I her case she uses both Luminar and ON1 in addition to Lightroom. I don't know HOW this occurred, but I've seen it before with other catalogs, usually from users that use both Lightroom and other tools like Bridge. Boring but not difficult, so she should have MOST of the images cleaned up in a few days. I currently have her finding images in the top level folder by year/month (in GENERAL, her filenames start with YYYYMM), and moving them to the correct month. Again, I don't THINK this is part of the ongoing bug, but in case other people start reporting bizarre behavior with organization. I suspect when they were ORIGINALLY imported, it was done incorrectly, and they weren't put in the months. After further exploring, I realized that approximately 43,000 images that SHOULD be in month folders were instead in her top level folder. While exploring the NEW catalog, she complained that her month folders (she does year/month organization) did NOT have all the images that SHOULD be in the months. I'll explore this further the next time we Zoom, but I'm bringing it up only in case this is some bizarre side effect of what's going on - though I can't believe Lightroom COULD display different keywords, but.Ģ. And yes, I've set it to the keywords and containing keywords (?) setting. In Lightroom, her keyword LIST appears intact, but the "Keywords" palette shows no keywords, or a subset of what may be in Bridge. In some cases there MAY be keywords associated with files in Bridge that Lightroom does not display. I had her start Bridge, which she's never used, to look at some images, and it APPEARS (I'm not sure as she was struggling badly with bridge, our link was slow and spotty due to my current location, and she was having trouble understanding that I was attempting to verify what metadata is actually IN the images, so we'll try again) that at least SOME images have different keywords in Bridge than in Lightroom. She is missing keywords and develop settings on SOME images in Lightroom. Two new things are happening and I'm not sure EITHER is related to this problem, but.ġ. BEFORE doing this, I ran the metadata status and fixed all the inconsistencies (hopefully) in her images, so all the metadata was saved to the images. We ended up creating a new, clean catalog and importing all her images. It had also experienced the loss of images in folders discussed here. ![]() ![]() A few days ago, in another topic that I THINK has now been folded into this one, I spoke of trying to fix a friend's catalog that had problems (most likely) due to having 2 external drives with the same name. ![]()
