Question

Message Target folder not available when importing photo

Hello everyone,

For a few days I have the following message when I want to import photos into my LRC catalog version 11.3.1 on my macbook pro under Monterey 12.3.1.

The message is:

The "/Users/Gilles/Pictures/Lightroom/My TIFF Processing" destination folder is not available.

 

But this folder does not exist either on my SSD or in my Lr catalog.

Obviously if I create this folder via Lr, it is also created on my SSD and the message disappears.

But that's not what I want. Indeed this file existed a short time ago and I deleted it from DS Lr which deleted it on the SSD.

 

What can I do to stop getting this message?

 

Thanks for your help.

Gilles

You may have an import preset that links to this folder.

Hello,

What is an import preset ?

That probably means I don't have any import preset.

Bonjour tout le monde,

Depuis quelques jours j'ai le message suivant lorsque je veux importer des photos dans mon catalogue LRC version 11.3.1 sur mon macbook pro sous Monterey 12.3.1.

Le message est :

Le dossier de destination « /Users/Gilles/Pictures/Lightroom/Mes Traitements TIFF » n'est pas disponible. 

 

Or ce dossier n'existe pas ni sur mon SSD ni dans mon catalogue Lr.

Evidemment si je crée ce dossier via Lr, il est aussi créé sur mon SSD et le message disparait.

Mais ce n'est pas ce que je veux. En effet ce dossier existait il y a peu et je l'ai supprimé ds Lr qui lui l'a supprimé sur le SSD.

 

Que faire pour ne plus avoir ce message ?

 

Merci pour votre aide.

Gilles

Change the Destination Folder in the Import Dialog in Lightroom Classic so that it now it points to a folder that does exist.

 

Obviously if I create this folder via Lr, it is also created on my SSD and the message disappears.

But that's not what I want.

 

What is the problem with one extra empty folder on your SSD??

Hello,

I get the error message when I click on import menu before selecting any target folder.

I don't understand your question about empty folder on my SSD. Sorry 😢
