The main folder contains all the photos, but all the subfolders have question marks showing 0 photos (but they all should have several photos on each). The functions "find the missing folder" or "remove folder" don't work for each subfolder. The hard drive contains the same folders. Please advise
@andhen25 I will let @drtonyb carry on with answers, but would you try one thing for me-
1) Exit Lightroom-Classic
2) Use File Explorer to RENAME the first sub-folder that is called { Festival Clausura '24 } by removing the { ' } from the folder name. (Use alpha numeric characters only.)
3) Re-open the catalog
4) [Right-click] on { Festival Clausura '24 } and [Find Missing Folder] , choose { Festival Clausura 24 }
Tell us if the renamed folder re-appears in the catalog.
I am often suspicious of characters in file/folder names that LrC may not accept. (the forward slash / is one definite problem character.)
@Rob_CullenLrC isn't bothered by the use of the single quote ' in a folder name; I tried it. @andhen25 has other folders with the single quote in their names and there isn't any problem with those.
Thank you so much for the quick reply. The catalog is ~5k photos (4832). LACI photos is a folder on my external hard drive. I tried, as you suggested, to create a new catalog. However, the same error reoccurs with that folder's subfolders. Syncing or updating folder location for the LACI photos folder also does not work. Please advise
