__________RESOLVED____________

Apparently LR Cloud was reading an older version of my LR Classic Catalog that did in fact still point to my NAS. I made sure I identified the correct CURRENT catalog, moved all other catalogs to a different folder and tried the migration and it worked.

__________RESOLVED____________

 

I'm trying to migrate from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom. I've been using Lightroom Classic for years and have about 62,000 photos. I've followed all the preperation steps to migrate and I'm not missing any photos. There are NO ! or ? next to any folders or subfolders and if I go to Library > Find All Missing Photos the application says there are no missing photos.

 

When I launch Lightroom (cloud) and go to File > Migrate From... > Lightroom Classic Catalog and then click continue, the box says Initializing and then immediagtely goes to Somethign went wrong.

 

When I click View log its telling me:

********** ERROR CODE AND COUNT ***********
NON_EXISTING_FOLDER : 1569
ALL_FOLDERS_MISSING : 1

 

However when I look at hte log details it looks like this:

***************************
( Details of ErrorCode: NON_EXISTING_FOLDER , Count :1569 )

This is just a partial snippit of thousands of lines of log. However, I know what this is. These are references to locations on my Synology NAS. My photos aren't on the NAS any more and lightroom knows this. If I go to Lightroom Photos/Holidays/4th of July/2009 and pick a photo and say show in finder, it opens up the local SSD where the photos actually are.

 

Again Lightroom Classic knows where all 62,000 photos are. There are no errors when using Lightrom Classic. But Lightroom seems to think my photos are still on my NAS. Please help!

 

I've also tried right clicking my top level folder in LR Classic and saying "update folder location" and picking the SSD which does nothing because of course that's the existing location. I tried exporting the entire library of photos as a catalog and then opening that catalog and trying the import and that didn't work either.
