Destination Folder problem

[popchart]

Start Lightroom Classic and it loads my catalogue file as normal. When I try to add files to the catalogue after I click on Import the following message bubble appears before I get the option to select a source:-

The destination folder “/Volumes/LaCie/Chris's Photographs/2020/2020 02 16 Wye Flood/2020 08 20/RAW” is not available. Using “Pictures” folder instead.

The referred to destination folder is just one of the sub folders withing my master folder 'Chris's Photographs' which contains photgraphs of a specific photoshoot. This folder (even though it is not the one I want to use) is none the less available and I can see the photographs within it that relatwe to that shoot.

It is as if Lightroom has set a default folder for all imports to go in to rather than allowing me to choose as part of the import process. 

I have searched for an option to preset a default destination folder without success. Any help would be appreciated. This problem has developed since I imported some photographs which were added to the external disk storage but do not appear in the catalogue.

What OS?

When was the OS updated?

"I have searched for an option to preset a default destination folder without success."

I believe its in the preference file. You can edit it with a text editor. (Or reset all preferences)

Have not found a preset for Destination Folder anywhere and following the guidance from Lightroom Queen has not made any difference. 

Am still at a loss as to how to get rid of this problem apart from deleting Lightroom Classic  and re-installing it.

Thanks for your suggestion.

OS  is 10.15.6 guess updated in the last month - certainly before the problem arose

I have resolved this problem now. I found a sub folder in the destination folder which shouldn't have been there. I deleted it and when I now try to import the warning message does not show and I can choose the destination folder I want to use not the one that Lightroom thinks I want to use!

Thanks for all help
