Hi guys,
here's my current (somehow historically grown) Lightroom (using CC 2015.7, Mac) problem:
I use an external hard drive as the main container for all my photos and make backups to the internal hard drive in my iMac and to a folder on my NAS.
I have SOME of my photos on my external hard drive organized in folders like this:
/yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd/<here are the photos>
... and there are the most of my photos on that drive organized like this:
/Photos/yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd/<here are the photos>
Therefore I see this structure in Lightroom itself, too, when looking into the "Folders" list in the left side panel.
What's the failsafe way to merge these folders & photos into ONE single scheme, preferably the
/Photos/yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd/*
scheme?
Of course, when importing new photos I can be careful to select the right import folder so that this problem never occurs again. But now that it's there ... how can I move the photos from the
/yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd folders to the corresponding (and most of the time already existing) /Photos/yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd folders so that they get actually moved on the hard drive AND Lightroom knows where they (the originals) are?
Thank you so much!
Stefan.
