My Lightroom Catalogues are a mess...

I've always been notoriously bad at cataloguing, arranging and storing photos.

I've had Lightroom for a year now and it was starting to be a little better but then my wife decided she could rearrange all the folders into a much "better" system.

Now all my folders have ? by them and I'm going mental.

Does someone have a decent link to a simple way to fix this mess?

Any help appreciated.

Did she rearrange them using Lr or the operating system? I'm guessing she used the OS.

If you click on the ?, you should be able to tell Lightroom where the folder is now. Depending on how different your old structure was to the current one, you may need to do this for every folder.

LOL She better not see the link to the best divorce attorney, I am punching well above my weight... I have to let these things slide...

Thanks Dave, that's fixed it.

I'm still too excited by the photos to have worked out the software 100%.
