I have no idea what happened, but if I have read you correctly, then I know a cure.
My assumption is that you still has the files somewhere, and that LR still know where they are. At least this should do the trick in Windows. Try to import the photos one more time. When the dialog box telling you the files already are in the Library; don't click Ok or Cansel, instead click the "Show in Libray" button. LR will probabvly display the files now. If it don't, then you are basically screwed I guess. But assuming my assumption was correct (that's the nature of an assumtion, isn''t it?), they will be displayed. Ok then have faith and move on. Mark one of the missing files. Now open to the right hand tab. Look in the Metadata section for "Folder". Right next to the folder name you will find an arrow. Click it. Open left hand side tab. There you are, the destination folder is highlighted. Then use LR to move them to wherever you want them to be, or just leave them there. -- MaritimTim 2009/8/11 Rick Womer <[email protected]>: > > Here in New Hampshire on vacation.
