Newly added subdirectories not recognized by catalog

[Sonadiatoms]

I added new folders with image files in them to a subdirectory within the directory set to sync to the catalog.  However, when I sync, it is not recognized.  No new images are added.  I have even tried adding the specific subdirectory to the catalog path, but nothing happens when I try to add it, presumably because it's "supposed" be covered under the umbrella of the top level directory. 

Not sure what to do now.


I see this in the "Errors and Warnings" section, not sure if related:

Is this only a problem when you do a sync? Or are other actions that would update the catalog also failing? For example, if you open a folder as contact-sheet and then right-click an image and choose "Include in Catalog" does that fail as well? Or if you go to "Scan to Catalog" and choose the folder you'd like to add, do the items from that folder get added?

Please also let us know what kind of files are in the subfolder you created.

It appears that catalog sync is the problem.  I am able to add the images to catalog using the right-click->add to catalog in the contact sheet. 
They are all PNG images.

A screenshot of your Catalog Sync window and a window showing the files in the folder with their folder structure may be helpful.

Does the timestamp in the above error message correspond with the time during your Catalog Sync operation?

Strangely, sync is once again working with some other subfolders within the main folder.  I didn't change anything. 

@Kirk:  I wish I had screenshotted the error message to get its date stamp.  The error field is now blank so I can't check.

However, one side effect of using the workaround suggested earlier (of opening a contact sheet and right clicking -> add to catalog) is that whenever I try to open any of those items in Windows Explorer, only the top level directory (with my different disk drives) opens up, rather than the actual file.  This makes those pretty hard to work with. 
I am reluctant to "remove from catalog" for these folders, in case that might cause future sync issues.

It was in your original post and I quoted it, but here it is again: [Sun 19:54:18]

What is an example of the path of one of the files?

I meant making a note of when the failed sync happened, sorry for the confusion.

What is an example of the path of one of the files?

C:\Users\Username\Dropbox\2D-Assets\AI_StableDiffusion\_SD-Gens\_Best-DreamlikeDiffusion\Fun Factory Bauhaus

The top level directory of the catalog is "_SD-Gens"

The above is just a directory, what is the full path to the file?  What method are you using to get Windows Explorer to show the file?
