Moved Files Not Found
Posted: Wed May 05, 2021 8:31 pm
I renamed batches of photos, appending their folder names as a prefix, and moved them up a level in the folder directory. I received successful confirmation notifications after each move. When I go to the path where the files should be, I cannot find the newly renamed files. All of the old files have been deleted by BRU. I did some trouble shooting/testing to see what might have gone wrong. I created "fake file.txt" and ran it through the same renaming rules. Successful confirmation, fake file deleted. I tried it again with a new "fake file.txt", and I get an error message that "appended folder name fake file.txt" already exists. I still cannot find the newly renamed file. BRU can't see the newly renamed file in the directory either. Is this maybe just an issue with my network attached storage drive. If I power it down and up and remap the drive, will the renamed files appear? Will they be lost forever? I don't believe BRU is keeping track of all the new file names it's created, so I'm guessing it's somehow "seeing" the renamed files that I can't see either through BRU or windows file explorer. How can I view/retrieve those files?
