Find Files (after library files moved)


Recommended Posts

Don't know it is possible but, Adobe Lightroom/Lightroom Classic/Photoshop etc. have a feature where, if you move a file or directory, it holds the data and you can "find files" or point the program to the files that were moved. Or in the case they were reorganized or changed you can delete that location.

If you "find files"  it does a quick scan to make sure everything matches what it saw before and then writes changes to the db when you exit the program.

Hugely useful.  Thought about this when I moved 15k photos to a new NAS and had the files available for use in LRC/Photoshop in a couple minutes last night.

Perhaps not duplicate but very closely related...

Same thing - different method....

I believe the way Adobe does it allows comparing files to determine files and directories intact as opposed to re-scanning.  A ton faster than re-scanning 100's of thousands of of files.
