File error. Contact sheet rescan needed
« on: Yesterday at 02:34:43 PM »
Me again but hopefully this’ll be my last question.
I’ve done a forum search but unfortunately this hasn’t helped.
Once i have completed a set of photos within a folder I move the folder from my editing drive over to my big archive raid array. I do this by holding shift and then dragging the folder to the location I wish it move to. (I use shift as without it PM copies the folder instead of moves it).
However, even though the move is successful and the system is supposed to keep track of the files as they move for the benefit of the catalog, I always without fail end up with the contact sheet for the photos turning black and saying ‘file error. Contact sheet rescan needed’. I use the rescan and refresh options on the view menu to no avail. The green dots disappears completely too.  The only way I have found to fix this is to quit and relaunch. Works every time but am I missing a simple way to rescan and make this work. Or would you recommend moving the folder a different way if such a way exists.
