I was working with a client on a move of folders from an internal drive (Mac OSX) to an external drive.
He created a dummy folder, via LR, on the external drive so that he could drag and drop from the internal drive to the external.
The folder was created, but the hard drive itself now appears as a FOLDER, not as a drive, under /volumes.
He renamed the drive, from within LR, and all hell broke lose. The name changed in LR, but not on the desktop. We couldn't rename on the desktop as the two names conflicted I'm guessing. We ended up shutting everything down, full reboot and the drive would not unmount. We forced that, closed down and restrted everything. Still had the naming conflict. LR didn't see the folder, so we rnamed in LR and got everything aligned. Or so it seemed.
Dragging folders to the external drive appeared to work OK, but one folder was inadvertently dropped on the folder above the target folder. It was dragged and dropped to the correct location, but then showed 0 images. A check with finder revelaed that the files were in the new location on disk, but LR has lost them.
Today, having moved all files (via D&D) to the new drive, he is trying to reorganize folder, but every D&D on the drive results in the above behavior.
Any advice, I'm at a loss where to start.
Cheers
