Problem with folders

[jeroen_7261]

Hi,

I have a problem with folders and my catalog. I order them by year, in Lightroom and in Windows. But in Lightroom the year 2025 is shown above and outside of the main folder "Foto's".

The hover shows the physical location, wich is the same as in Windows Explorer:

How can I solve this, so that the year 2025 is a sub of "Foto's" in Lightroom?

Dragging the folder 2025 into Foto's is not working. It gives an error:

It says "There is already a folder with the name "2025" at this location", which is correct as can be seen in the Explorer screenshot.

Kind regards, Jeroen

Probably the capitalization error.

Be sure to make backups of your catalog file and photos before you start — but you are making regular backups of everything already, aren't you?

Thanks for you reply, but that is not the problem.

I have fixed it now, by exporting the 2025 folder as a catalog and then import it again in the existing catalog under "Foto".

Most likely this was indeed the capitalization error. The fact that you fixed this in a different way than described in the link does not prove otherwise.

Numbers don't have capitals, so that cannot be the problem.

It can still be the problem, because the capitalization error occurs somewhere in the entire folder path, and not necessarily in the folder that is shown twice or in the wrong place. Anyway, I have decided a long time that I won’t argue over the capitalisation problem any more. I know it is a difficult to understand problem, so I get it that people are sceptic when I tell them that I suspect they have this problem. But I’m tired of having to discuss this at length with sceptics (I have wasted many hours on that by now), even in cases where I am 100% certain that this is what they experience. I’m not saying this is one of those 100% certainty situations, you could be right that this is different. I’m just saying I will not discuss it any further, especially since you fixed it for now. If you don’t believe me or don’t understand what I am saying, then please search this forum for ‘capitalisation error’.

Dear Mr. Elzenga,

The folder path is exactly the same, the only variable is the numeral year folder and like I said before, numbers don't have capitals.

As someone who has been involved in computers for over 40 years, who has always worked in IT/software development, I think I can say that I know if it is a capitalization errror or not.
But I am not going to waste  my time chatting with someone who judges others without knowing them. So I wish you a fine evening.
