Question

Change location of LR library

I had a computer issue and had to send it out to be fixed. Previously, I had all my LR files on my E drive, but the repairman moved all my files to a D drive. I feel like this should be very simple, but I can't figure out how to point LR to my D drive now and not my E drive for my library.

 

I read some of the previous posts on this issue. One suggested 'Just copy the catalog to the external hard drive and then double-click on it in its new location.  You might want to copy the previews as well."...is that in file explorer?

 

 

Thank in advance for your help.

Advice from@JohanElzenga  "assign the drive letter to E manually in Windows" is by far, the simplest IMO.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

It is indeed quite simple: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/lightroom-photos-missing-fix/

Alternatively, you can assign the drive letter to E manually in Windows.
