[Leica] LR Question.....

[Frank Filippone]

Here is the situation..

 

I took images, downloaded them into their own folder ( call it DOG ) , and
imported them into my main catalog in LR Classic CC, on my desktop.  I use 1
big Catalog.

I wish to edit the images on my laptop. so I exported only the DOG images
and catalog . EXPORT with CATALOG.  Worked fine, and images now are on my
Laptop.  All is good..

 

But now I notice that the exported images are  no longer on my desktop...
The DOG folder is empty as it appears on the LR file locations.  

Not quite what I wanted to do. I wanted them to stay put on the desktop and
also be on my Laptop..  Either Laptop or Desktop  could edit.  And then, at
a later date, merge them.

 

Is this the way the export with catalog is supposed to work?   I guess what
I expected is that the images would be COPIED, so that they would be on both
Laptop and Desktop.

 

Is it possible to do what I wish?  What commands should I have used?

 

How can I do the merge, assuming this all works the way I wish?
