Library Name Display

Question

Hi All.I've just changed my drives and all seems OK with the catalogue. However, now when I import photographs in Library view it shows the whole path - rather than just the folder name. Previously, I just had the folder name - any ideas what I am doing differently this time?Many thanks!

Thank you. As posted above, that sorted it. It's been so long since I last set up LR that that part had completely been lost from memory. Thanks also for your other advice.

There are two potential issues here -1) which folder levels do you want to see, or not see, within LrC's Folders panel (as separate lines).2) for the top level of the folders that you do see, how would you like LrC to display those.  1) there is a right-click option to Show the Parent Folder level that sits above a given subfolder giving it context, or else to Hide a given Parent Folder level that is showing. Note, any folder with even one imported image directly within it, must already be showing necessarily and for the same reason, can't be hidden. 2) there are options in the menu and also in the drop-down menu at top of Folders panel, to control whether the Catalog should display just the bare names of the folders at the highest-level within LrC's Folders panel - for a given drive volume; or, prefix these top level names with some folder path information (on the same line).
