Hi Brett,
Thanks for clarifying and yes you are correct, there are 2 parts to this effort.
First copying over the photos and laptop catalog from laptop to desktop, then merging the libraries on the desktop.
I first copied the photos from laptop to desktop.
I then copied over the lrcat and Previews.lrcat from the laptop to the desktop. Didn’t see a need to copy the preferences or presets.
So now all files are in the same folder- all pictures pictures and both catalogs.
I once again tried to merge (Import) the laptop catalog into the desktop catalog- here is the import panel.
The highlighted line is the start of the laptop pictures, 11 lines later (189 pictures) represents the total of what I am trying to merge. As you can see I get 5 lines (with an -) and only 16 pictures actually merge into the desktop catalog.
I can not change the check box on any of these lines.
Here is what I get on the Library Folders Panel…………………..
Normally I would just import the photos and be done with it however I made a ton of changes to these photos (on the desktop) so it’s imperative that these changes find there way into the desktop catalog.
I appreciate your help and certainly willing to do a screen share if necessary.
I am also willing to pay for a solution to this issue.
Thanks again.
David Long
