From Develop I move file(s) to a different folder (as I have done for years). The file count in the folder shown under 'folders' goes up as expected. But the file path shown on the metadata panel is not updating. Sometimes if I click on a different thumbnail and then on the thumbnail of the one just moved it will update, but often not.

If I close LR & reopen, the file(s) that was moved is shown as missing (metadata shows original folder) and it I "Locate" it, then its fine from then one. Been doing this all week now.

Before move note the count in DoMP2018 is 133 files, and the location is in 20130315Dogs

Then I drag the image into the DoMP2018 folder. Note it now shows 134 files.
BUT the filepath is still 20180315Dogs.
If I close LR now, the file will be missing and I will need to Locate it

I have discovered if I click on another thumbnail while in Library and then click on the thumbnail of the file I moved. It sometimes updates the Metadata. See how metadata now shows the file path as DoMP2018. If I close LR now & reopen, everything is fine.

Excuse me but there is no way, at least no way I know of, to move files from one folder to another while you are in the Develop module. To do that you have to be in the Library module with the left hand panel showing and the Folders section expanded.

If you mistakenly wrote Develop when you meant Library OK.

You'll need to show us some screen shots of Before and After the move.

I just tried this and If I have "Default" "Location" or "Quick Describe" selected in the Metadata section once I make the move it shows the new folder the file got moved to.
