After updating to LR classic 11.4.1, files and file locations are not being updated when moving files to another location withn lightroom classic. 

To update the locations, I have manuallly synchronise after every move.  The location I move the files to are a sub folder of the original location.

Has anyone else had this issue?  Is it a bug?

May I request clarification?

 

This move that you talk about, you are dragging and dropping files within the Lightroom Classic interface, is that correct? And then "files and file locations are not being updated" ... exactly what do you see that indicates files and file locations are not being updated? Please be detailed and specific in your reply.

I drag and drop the files, as I have done for years.  The stratus indicates moving.  The folder contents however stay the same.  I look at the folders in Windows Explorer, the files have been moved. In lightroom, though, the contents stay the same as before the move.  I have to do a manual sfolder synchronising to update the orginiating and destination folder in lightroom.

The thumbnails stay the same inLR. No changes.  Manual sync is the only solution.


I wasn't asking about the thumbnails staying the same, I was asking if there was an exclamation point icon on the photos after this unsuccessful move.

 

Sync is the wrong thing to do (and is not the only solution). Re-connecting the photos to their new location is the correct thing to do. https://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
