Greyed out folder in LrC & cannot export. I haven't as far as I know changed any settings. I have placed in a sub-folder now for a while. Anyone have an idea as to why I cannot now export to my NAS HDD

There are three folders shown with a question mark icon. Are those the folders you can't export from? If so, you need to fix the question mark icon by following these instructions: https://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

Good Morning and thank you,

I imported the images from this folder into LrC:

*0807_Mataranka Bitter Springs_The Old Cattleyards Pamayu NT* (at images
level & not as a folder). NB: highlighted in image sent to you.

I then developed the images in LrC and attempted to export to this folder
as seen in Export Settings screen as sent to you.
*0807_Mataranka Bitter Springs_The Old Cattleyards Pamayu NT_ LR *(only
difference in folder name was the addition of '_LR' at end of path 7 this
has worked in the past exports).

I was only able to Export as DNG files as seen in the image of Windows
Explorer. They are not what I want. I have and always want to export as
Jpegs. I have been exporting successfully ever since I subscribed to Adobe
some 5 or 6 years ago without any issues with exporting.[image: GJBoerma

I have changed the Settings fields trying lots of different combinations.

Thanks - Kind regards

PS: I need to go away from my computer to do some work in the field for
today. I'll check in asap. And appreciate your support.

Your screen shots don't appear. You need to use a web browser, not e-mail, to include images in your reply. Please follow the instructions I gave (repeated here):

 

Please use the "Insert Photos" icon to include your screen capture in your reply. Do NOT attach files.

 

Also, no need for your work company name, phone numbers or your e-mail in your message, its considered a risky thing for you to do to expose that information.

If you have placed this folder in a subfolder, but have not done that through Lightroom, then Lightroom does not know what you did and so the folder is now 'missing'. Here's how to correct that:
