Cannot manage files whatsoever w/LrC (Windows 11, LrC 12.1)

[dookie-x]

I recently upgraded from CC (6.?) to Classic (12.1), other than that nothing has changed. Same PC, same storage locations, same permissions, same, same, same.

Previously, I could bulk-delete (from disk) everything I tagged as rejects from within the library. I could drag/drop files or folders in the catalog to move them around. I could rename folders. Now, none of this works.

I've searched as I know how and none of the suggested solutions seem to apply here. I tried starting LrC as admin, nada...but as I said, absolutely nothing about the environment has changed (beyong the Lr version) and permissions were such previously that it all worked flawlessly.

There's a 2nd issue, which I suspect is related. That is, I can no longer import directly from either the camera or the SD card...files have to be copied (in Explorer) from the camera to a disk, then imported in place on the disk. I'm thinking whatever file blocking is happening is also preventing LrC from creating them (via copy) at import.

Thanks for any ideas!

I will try, but pretty much everything that is failing starts at the local SSD. As I said, import to SSD, cull, then move to mapped server drive letter for long-term fail-safe (RAID / backup) storage. I've been using the file server for years as the final repository, without issue. Catalog is and has always been local.

Rethinking, you might want to start that experiment with a new catalog.

Brand new catalog, imported one folder in-place from the local SSD (add), same result...can't delete/rename/move. I did not try to import as copy (don't have camera here at the moment), but my money says still not working.

(import worked fine, no management possible once imported)

Time to call Adobe

Yeah...as a hobbyist, I don't have paid support.

Huh??

You subscribe to an Adobe Plan, you have support.
