path of disconnected images

[carlseibert]

Hi All,

Is there a way to see the path of a disconnected file? The last-seen location, so to speak.

I managed to lose a folder of pictures. It's probably on some off-site backup somewhere. A folder name would make it about 100 times easier to hunt for it.

I looked in the usual places and couldn't find the path.

Thanks.

Are you able to see the images (via the proxy) with a query?  If so, click on one to select it and look at the bottom of the window (status area) and the last known path should be shown.

HTH,

There it is. If it was a bear it would have stolen my food.

Thank you Kirk!

....And the images are safely back in the catalog. Once I knew what to look for it only took a couple minutes to find them.

It's odd because it doesn't look like the folder was moved. It was in fact right where PM+ said it was. It's a little concerning because - while this is still most likely to be a carbon-based error - I can't quite figure out how the images got disconnected.

Normally I would assume that I either moved the folder in the course of tidying up or that I simply failed to include the images in a catalog. But it would appear that I did indeed catalog the images, and the folder was where PM+ thought it was.

Could this be a case where I should re-sync or something?

A "Reintegrate forgotten Catalog" should be all that would be needed in this case.
