Working with Lightroom 2 here...
The left panel, where it lists Navigator, Catalog, Folders & Collections...
Under the Folders tab, I have listed my external drive in which I keep all my photos (Drive F). Underneath the Drive F label, I have lists of various folders on that drive with titles I've given them.
My question: I expected this list, on the left panel of LR, to automatically populate itself so that the folder titles/hierarchy would mirror what is shown in Drive F if I looked at the drive within 'computer' in Vista.
Well, it doesn't. Fair enough. So then, when I right-click on a folder and select 'sync', I expected the listing to then mirror the folder arrangement within 'computer' in Vista.
It still doesn't do that. I have sub-folders that are simply not showing up within the LR panel unless I manually create the folders and 'move' my images to them (still within LR).
Bottom line: It seems I have to update this Folder panel manually. And its structure seems to be straight-up alphabetical, with no indication of folders/sub-folders.
I'm sure the problem lies within me and not the software. I'd appreciate a little guidance as to how I can make the Folders panel automatically stay current.
I hope this makes sense; if not, please ask some specific questions.
Thanks,
Jon
