Hello,
I use Lightroom Classic, and have the mobile app on my phone to auto import my mobile photos. A while back my (brand new) desktop crashed and the motherboard and harddrives were replaced. Fortunately, I back up my photos fairly regularly to my redundant storage, so I haven't lost any images.
However, I do have a bit of an issue and I'm wondering if there is an easy fix or if I'll have to get creative. There was a gap in timing between my last manual backing up of the auto-import folder on my desktop prior to the crash, versus the last Lightroom backup. So Lightroom knows the photos exist and is showing them as missing files, which is to be expected. The problem is, they aren't actually on the computer, so it isn't a matter of showing Lightroom where they are.
The originals are still on my phone, as well as in the auto folder in the mobile app. If anyone has an idea of how to go about fixing this, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks!
Lindsay
