"!" missing files refuse to reconnect after changing Catalog name?

[silsurf@me.com]

I changed the name of my catalog using the "rename catalog" from the edit menu of LR Classic. Said it was complete and the connected folders was renamed as well.

Now two things are happening

When I quit, LR says it cannot find the Backups folder and will create a new one on my local drive (the catalog is kep entirely on a EXT HDD) and if I try to choose a location it refuses to take.

All images are marked with an "i" for missing image. If I use the locate function and navigate to the image it refreshese, but only that single image even if the locate surrounding images checkbox is checked.

I have tried multiple times, but no luck. 

Would appreciate help on getting my catalog reconnected and back in order, thanks

The old catalog is still listed and greyed out with all the folders inside. The only folders that have reconneccted are the ones that I have located a missing file in, in other words if I click the "i" in the missing image, locate it, then that folders appears in the newly renamed catalog, but all the rest remain in the old catalong

The 'Henry Photo Libraries Clone' drive is not connected or not mounted.

Yes, that's what changing the name of the catalog does, it renames a bunch of folders, but not the folder with your photos. So if the photos have exclamation point icons (which look like the letter "i" but upside down) then almost definitely the photos we missing before the catalog name change. Please look at these instructions (especially Figure 3 and Figure 4 and associated text) which will allow you to reconnect entire folders at once.

Thanks, I was able to reconnect instantly by using the "find missing folder"
