[Leica] These foolish things...

[Philippe]

Ouch ! 

Just a thought - LR allows for re-assigning a file to its place in a catalogue - if your old catalogue is still alive, you might just have to ask LR to do that on one file, and tick the box that says « other neighbouring  files too? »

Else, but it is a long and fastidious process, you can set the dates manually in the library module, so long as you know when … and have time to ...

Hope someone comes up with a safer/faster method for you to use. 

Fingers crossed for you.


OTT : Next step might be a mac and time machine …

Somehow, I managed to delete all my photos - a long and stupid story. I then recovered them onto an external hard drive using the new Windows File Recover tool - bar a few that fell victim to the process.
