Question

I imported a folder with 2 subfolders into LRC. The subfolders appeared but the parent folder did not. How can I get the subfolders into a parent folder?

THe subfolders appeared in the folder panel in LRC but separately and not in the parent folder.  When I tried again to import the same, the images were greyed out, indicating they were already imported.  The parent folder is on the disc but does not appear in the folder panel in LRC.  I want the subfolders under the parent folder to keep things organized. I tried  to create a new parent folder but it did not appear on the disc or in LRC.  How can I collect the subfolders under a parent folder?

    Right-click on one of these subfolders in the LRc Folders panel, and choose “show parent folder”.

    Nothing shows up in the Folders panel except as the storage location for one or another file that’s imported into the Catalog. When intermediate folders which relate one image folder to another are not displayed, you see those image folders in a simple list. But as you choose to display more of their folder context, they move to show their real ‘nested’ arrangement.
