I received one reply from someone who was talking about “Duplicate Folders” and I did the steps they recommended. I went online to the Adobe forum and posted a question under Carol Ellis, complete with screen shots. I was able top process files etc, but they were in the wrong place in Lightroom. I then do a super Duper copy of the newly Upgraded catalog (6TB Lightroom Library) to a second internal HD (6TB Lightroom Library BU).Īfter the super Duper finished, I imported files, and it was weird, the files would go to the proper place on the Harddrive, but in the Lightroom it showed up under a duplicate hard drive named 6 TBLightroom Library.

I really didn’t do much with the Mac with the newer LR and OS, however it had more room available so I decided I would migrate my LR5 catalog to Lightroom CC 2016, and then upgrade that to the Lightroom 7 CC Classic.Īll looks good.

I had an identical Mac Pro (Mid 2012 running el capitan) which was running the subscription based Lightroom CC 2016. I had been running Lightroom 5 on my desktop on my Mac Pro (Mid 2012 running 10.8.5). See the forum links below.Ĭlick to expand.Some glitch happened after I did a migration of my 10 year old LR Library (which I started a long time ago with you guys.) Jim Wilde always seems to have an answer for this problem. They told me to go to this link, and I did. I got a response that this was a duplicate folder bug. I posted this on the adobe forum under the udername carolellis. This is a screenshot of what my Lightroom Classic CC window looks like with the Catalog folders collapsed.Īnd finally this is what my Preferences show for the catalog location.Īs far as I know I am doing everything by the book. The next screen shot is what my hard-drive in the finder looks like: See a screen shot of what my Lightroom Classic CC looks like: Since it is a similar name, I even ejected that harddrive the second time I attempted to import folders. I have a harddrive for my backup and it is called 6TB_Lightroom_Library_BU. If I go into finder on my Mac running el Capitan (10.11.6) the folder structure is correct. The path to the file would be: 6TB_LIGHTROOM_LIBRARY/2017/20170900_Irma/20171111_after_irma The /(slash) indicates a folder. Something strange happens now, I import a folder into my Lightroom Library. My catalog is ten years old, and I consider myself well versed in the program. After that I upgraded it to Lightroom 2017 Classic.
Then I upgraded the LR 5 ctalog to LR 2016 subscription. I had the subscription based Lightroom 2016 running on an identical computer, so I just inserted the harddrive from the one Mac to the other. I just upgraded a few days ago from Adobe Lightroom 5 - which was running on a Mac Pro. Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info):Lightroom Classic version: 7.0.1.
