All images are now found so I have lost nothing, but the folders are a mess. I have decided to deal with it on an image by image basis as and when I need them which is working quite well. It is more complex than I thought and has affected .dng as well as .raf files. In some cases I have up to 4 .dng copies of the same image, maybe one with a random number, two with identical numbers but the one that I have marked before as OK with no captions, and another with all captions etc. but not post-processed.
