It should work OK. When you start LRCC after re-installing it, it will automatically rebuild your local library from the cloud, but as you've already realised you'll need to then change the preferences to opt for originals to be stored locally, and the location to be the same as previously set. LRCC should then find the originals are already in the specified location and simply update the records for each image to show that the original is now stored locally. I have done a brief test, and that seemed to work OK, but no guarantees.....worst case scenario if it doesn't work is that you'll have to delete the first set of originals and wait for the new set to be downloaded. ...

No, you can't display the location data in the LRCC for iOS app yet. Hopefully that functionality will be added soon. ... View more

The problem is likely the GPS coordinates. The map in LRCC shows the location as per the GPS data, not the Location Data, but the location text overlay on the map is derived from the Location Data. So while you might have fixed the Location Data, you likely haven't corrected the GPS data which the map is based on. I don't know that you can change the GPS coordinates in LRCC (yet), so you'd have to find another way of doing that. Oddly enough, although it doesn't sync Location Data, LR Classic does sync GPS data, and you CAN change GPS info there....so if you are using Classic as well, find the image there and use the Map module to drag the image to the correct map location, wait for the image to sync, and that should fix the problem in LRCC. ...

OK, just to be totally certain, hover the mouse over the "Pictures" folder and you should see a pop-up with the full path, which should include "Chandra"....is that correct? Assuming it is, that's the folder that we have to "fix", and we do that by first of all fooling Lightroom into forgetting about "Chandra", and then telling it that everything's now under "chandra". To to that, the steps are: 1. Take a catalog backup, just in case something goes wrong (though it hasn't yet). 2. Using Finder, create a temporary folder, e.g. CapsFix, somewhere outside the existing Pictures folder, such as in the root of the Macintosh HD drive. 3. In Lightroom, right-click on that Pictures folder in the Folder Panel and select "Update Folder Location". In the resulting file browser, navigate to and select the "CapsFix" folder. That will cause the "Pictures" folder to disappear, and the "CapsFix" folder to appear. All the sub-folders of "CapsFix" will have the "?" mark to indicate they are "missing". Don't be alarmed, that is expected. 4. Now right-click on the "CapsFix" folder, again select "Update Folder Location", now navigate to and select the "Pictures" folder in your user library. You should receive a "Merge Warning Message", again this is expected and you should select "Merge". That should put the Pictures folder structure back in the Folders Panel, and all those "stray" folders that were under "chandra" will now be slotted back into the one "Pictures" folder. If any of that fails to work as I've described, stop and report back here. ... View more

https://forums.adobe.com/people/Jao+vdL  wrote This is by design. Lightroom CC cannot deal with the hierarchical keyword structure that classic can. Lightroom CC only has a flat keyword architecture so they decided to stop syncing the keywords between Classic and CC. It used to be able to but since the release of CC and Lightroom Classic it stopped doing that. Not really, Jao....it's never been possible to sync keywords between Lightroom (5, CC2015, or Classic) and Lightroom mobile (now including LRCC). The ability to sync Titles and Captions was added sometime during the CC2015 cycle, but never keywords (or Location data). However , it is currently possible (though this may be a bug or loophole) to effect a one-way, one-time transfer of any existing keywords and Location data in an image from Classic to the mobile ecosystem apps. If you write metadata to XMP in Classic (either automatically or via the Ctrl/Cmd+S keyboard shortcut), before you enable sync on the image in Classic, you should find that any of the cloud-based apps will show that data. But as I said, it's a one-time deal.....subsequent changes to keywords or location data made in Classic will not sync to the other apps, and changes made in the cloud-based apps will only sync to the other cloud-based apps but not to Classic. Because of that lack on ongoing syncing between Classic and the cloud, this "feature" may not be very useful. ... View more

Stephens795262  wrote Wow I never would have noticed it. In lightroom the "2017" folder is /User/ben/ however the "Lightroom 2012-xxxx" folder is /User/Ben with a capital "B". In Mac OS's finder it is with a lowercase "b". In the right hand side of the import panel when I hover over 2012-xxxx it is a lower case "b". How do I fix this? If I right click on "Lightroom 2012-xxxx" in Lightroom and update folder location which hopefully will update it to /User/ben (with a lowercase "b"), will all the subfolders in "Lightroom 2012-xxxx" need to be updated? If so that is a lot of updating... If you haven't already fixed it following the links that @wobertc provided, the way to fix this is to get the "Lightroom 2012-xxxx" path using the changed user name of "ben". Update Folder Location from "Ben" to "ben" won't directly work, so we have to do it in two steps, and we do this by the following: 1. Take a catalog backup, just in case something goes wrong (never has yet, but better be safe than sorry). 2. Using Finder create a temporary folder on the Desktop, call it something like "Path Fix". 3. In the Folders Panel, right-click on the "Lightroom 2012-xxxx" folder and select Update Folder Location. In the resulting file browser, navigate to and select the "Path Fix" folder. This will change the path of that folder and all the sub-folders, and all the sub-folders will of course be shown as "missing". Don't worry, this is expected. This step eliminates the old "Ben" path from the catalog. 4. Now we switch back....right-click on the "Path Fix" folder in the Folders Panel and again select "Update Folder Location". In the resulting file browser, navigate to and select the "Lightroom 2012-xxxx" folder (which now picks up the correct path using "ben"). You will get a "Merge" warning dialog, because the correct path already exists for the "new" 2017 folder, click on Merge and everything should then slot back into place, the "new" 2017 folder will be merged with the current one, all using the correct path, and of course all the "missing" icons on the sub-folders will disappear. And that's it. Obviously if anything happens not as I described, please stop at that point and report back so we can figure out what's happened. ... View more
