Moving files to another drive

[alanc93477596]

I think I am missing something obvious.

I have a folder on my drive with a bunch of images; I have flagged a few as keepers; I now want to move the non-keepers to a different folder where I put all my "rejects" in case someday I want them.

The problem is that even in LIBRARY, I can't see the destination folder where I put my rejects.  I can move them one-by-one by going to there finder location, etc.

But I though I could select a bunch of images and move them to a new destination folder en masse; but I can't see that destination folder (on an external drive -- I can see OTHER folders on that drive but only a few of them.

MAC 13.2.1 running Lightroom Classic 13.2

The Lightroom Classic Library module is not a file browser. It doesn't show you every folder that is out there. It doesn't know about every folder that is out there. Lightroom Classic only knows about folders that have at least one imported photo in them.

The problem is that even in LIBRARY, I can't see the destination folder where I put my rejects.

Since LrC doesn't show that folder, go take a meaningless photo of the dust balls under your couch, and import that meaningless photo into the folder where you are going to keep the non-flagged images. (You can delete this meaningless photo at the end of the process). Now, this folder will appear in your Folder Panel. Then, in Lightroom Classic, select all of the non-flagged images and then drag them into this folder.

Thinking out-of-the-box solution, not what you asked for, but a whole lot easier. Import all the files onto this other drive. Flag the non-keepers, or give them 1 star, or a color label, or a keyword, (your choice) and then no moving is needed at all. Use the filter bar to only see the keepers, or only see the non-keepers. BTW, this is what I recommend.
