Problem with folders

Hi,

I have a problem with folders and my catalog. I order them by year, in Lightroom and in Windows. But in Lightroom the year 2025 is shown above and outside of the main folder "Foto's".

 

The hover shows the physical location, wich is the same as in Windows Explorer:

 

How can I solve this, so that the year 2025 is a sub of "Foto's" in Lightroom?

Dragging the folder 2025 into Foto's is not working. It gives an error:

 

It says "There is already a folder with the name "2025" at this location", which is correct as can be seen in the Explorer screenshot.

Kind regards, Jeroen

Probably the capitalization error.

Be sure to make backups of your catalog file and photos before you start — but you are making regular backups of everything already, aren't you?

Thanks for you reply, but that is not the problem.

I have fixed it now, by exporting the 2025 folder as a catalog and then import it again in the existing catalog under "Foto".

Most likely this was indeed the capitalization error. The fact that you fixed this in a different way than described in the link does not prove otherwise.
