Title: Finding which photos are missing from the catalog
Post by: dmoyes on August 09, 2010, 11:17:19 am: Is there a way to search for which photos are missing in the catalog? For instance, after having problems with a drive it would be good to know how many and which of the virtual catalog files have lost their links to the actual files on the drive. It would speed up the restore process if it were possible to find all the missing photos at once.

Thanks,
Dennis

1) In the Library module, left panel, Catalog Tab, underneath 'Previous Import' it says 'Missing Photos' (Only if there are any)
2) At the top, under Library/ Find Missing Photos

Is there a way to restore the link without re-importing these files into the lightroom catalog? If I remember correctly you were able to do this in LR2 but so far I am unable to figure this out in LR3.
