Ends up the best way around this was to copy the files to the NAS, turn off the old drive, and right click on the Folder in LR and choose “Update Folder Location” and then navigate to the NAS directory.

I just got a NAS, which I can connect to using afp:, but I can’t figure out any way to access it from with-in LR.

Is there some trick to it seeing NAS devices or other network drives?

I have lightroom ver 2. I downloaded a free 30 day trial of ver 3. My 30 days are up and I cannot get back into my older version of lightroom ver2. What do I need to do?

I’m having serious frustrating problems with the importing and cataloging in LR2 which I didn’t in LR1.

I have a ‘work’ folder on a disc, when I import to that folder on that disc it imports it but in does not appear in that folder – it does appear however in the ‘Volume’ of the same name.

If anyone understands this please help because it’s just a mess

Hey Matt, is there any way to move existing files to external hard drives and keep them in the catalog? I shoot weddings and would LOVE it if I could just have one catalog with all of my stuff rather than having to move everything off my hard drive every few weddings…Plus then I could have all my weddings on one catalog….

I’ve a related question of sorts. Say I filter in my gallery all the pictures taken in 2008 and wish to export them to DVD, is there a way to know the size (in megs) of these pictures before exporting to DVD?

It would be nice, for example, if the smart catalogs would show size or some other way.

Thank you

Matt — thanks for these great tips. I think this Volume browser is a fantastic and extremely useful feature, but have you noticed some issues with the custom properties it displays if you have multiple volumes? It appears there is a serious bug here, it displays the exact same info for all volumes if you choose disk space, and does some wierd and incorrect stuff with photo counts too. I can’t get the photo count to add up to the sum of the folders underneath it!

Has anyone else seen this?

Hey Matt,

I just finished watching your Lightroom In Depth videos on KelbyTraining and loved them. I have some questions about LR and PSE 6.0. Do you know where I might find some answers. Thanks.

I like this feature very much, it now enables me to put most of my images on a usb disk, and only keep the most receent shoots on my laptop, thus saving the much needed disk space

I like this feature. Thanks for bringing this feature up. I probably would have overlooked it since is was not something in LR 1.4. Look forward to more LR 2 posts.
