Hi,

My LR Classic should synchronize my vacation folder. Something went wrong. Now the folder is still in my folder view, but LR no longer shows me any pictures. Instead it says: "No photos in the selected folder. Sub-folders are not displayed."

Clicking on "Synchronize folder" again results in the image syncing, but nothing happens.
What can I do?
I don't want all edits to be gone!

I don't want all edits to be gone!- Do NOT use the [Synchronize Folder] command. Use [IMPORT] if there are files in a folder that are not in the Catalog.

Thanks for your answer Rob.
There are pics in the folder and LR knows that. LR showed every picture in the folder before my manual sync-stop... after that LR shows only the number of the pics in the folder.. Its definitively a import/sync problem...

If you click on All Photographs (under Catalog on the left of the Library Module), turn off all filters and then search for one of these photos by file name, do you find it in Lightroom Classic?
