Hello,
The environment.
MAC, newest OS, LrC, newest version, Synology all updates are also made.
On the discstation there is a folder called: [discstation]/photos
This was mapped on a Windows-based system within LrC
The catalog was moved from windows to the mac.
The link to the mapped folder a discstation appears, but there is no connection.
Other folder than photos on Synology are working.
I don't need the photos folder attached to LrC, I like to delete them, but it doesn't work, moreover a relink doesn't work as well.
Error Message "invalid path".
Is there a way, to delete this file in some config files, or what could I do?
Thanks for any comments.
Matthias
I found a solution, but this is not the perfect answer.
I switched from a Windows to a Mac system.
In the Windows world, I had 3 links to a Synology DiskStation. I had linked two paths via a drive letter and the third via a UNC path.
So the 2 were as follows: <Drive letter>:\directory...
UNC: \\<computer name>\<shared directory>\
This UNC path is not readable under Mac, at least I don't know it.
And at this point LrC exits. It appears in the catalog, but a new link is rejected with the message "wrong

You tried to relink, I take that you tried to update the folder location. As you do not need the photos in the LrC catalog, have tried to simply remove the folder?

Yes, I did, everything.
here you see the linked folders are green. They are okay.
The folder who is highlighted, with the root above, couldn't be deleted.
Thank you

I wonder what those three dots are for/do??

The three dots are only there, without any function. Furthermore, removing on any deeper level of the tree has now success.

My solution: I loaded the catalog on my old computer, deleted it under Windows and linked it again under MAC.
