In March I got a new computer. All files were located on my NAS so the installation of LightroomCC and transfer of the catalog went very smoothly. I've alwasy imported my photos to the NAS with path NAS\Photos\Year\Month. I've noticed now in the folders section when looking at the library, I now have the NAS\Photos folder listed twice. The second one starts in April of this year which is when I got the new computer. How do I get rid of this second listing and get the April - all future years and months to display under the folder all other photos are in? See attached picture.

Right click on the one of the bottom folders (that don't show a year parent folder) and select "Show Parent Folder"

This is due to a capitalization issue, Original folder DWS418PLAY\photos new folder DWS418play\photos.
Post details of your OS. I do not use a NAS but another user may offer advice on correcting.

Thanks. It's Windows 11. I guess lightroom didn't care about capitalization previously - I upgraded to Lr classic from 6 at the same time I got the new PC. Another question is that even though the photos were imported into the \\DS418play\Photos\2024\months, the year 2024 isn't listed as the parent directory of the months. 2024 isn't listed at all. The files are certainly located in that path.

As far as I see in your screenshot is the the name of the NAS is different.Since April the letters are written in lowercase. Lightroom and Windows are case sensitiv. Check the name of the NAS in Windows which is the right now.

To cleanup you can move the appropriate folder in Lightroom under the NAS with the actual name.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Thanks. I guess lighroom previously didn't care. I'm also confused on why the new folders aren't under the year 2024 subdirectory (the files are in the 2024\month directory). They were certainly imported that way, but they just end up under photos directory not under the 2024 subdirectory.
