Lost 2 hdd, Restored files from Backblaze, Can't use find missing file to add to LR, should I remove original files from LR or keep trying to find missing files and point to the restored images?

 

I am using LRCC 13.1

Windows 10. ver. 22H2, OS build 19045.3803

The files are now missing on LR. When I try to use "Find Missing folder" I get...

 

ERROR An Internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index filed 'source' (a nil value)

Well dirty word, I should have inquired. Do you perhaps have the Logitech LogiOptions plugin installed and active?

If not, never mind.

 

That particular plugin is known to be buggy. It is not the driver nor the control app for the mouse or keyboard (but a similar name), but is a plugin to allow you to assign buttons on a Logitech Mouse (if supported) and/or one particular Logitech keyboards Wheel to assign LrC, PS, actions (similar to using a lopupedeck) if you do not do that on your mouse, then it is of no use.

Seems pretty clear, and dj_paige answered it.

 

 

The catalog, the database, has the folder in your F drive. When you went looking for the photos, you found them in your N dive. Now if you follow the link that dj-Paige provided, and specifically if you look at Part 2, if you simply right click on the F drive in the Folders panel in LrC, and select Update Folder Location (looks like you were almost their) and select that N drive, it should get resolved (to be clear, did you try that?)

The menu is 'Update Folder Location' if you right-click on a folder that is not missing. If you right-click on a folder that is missing, then the menu is 'Find Missing Folder'.
