Moving files with LR = Frustration

-

   having made mistake of moving photo files 1 disk without lr , seen them go "missing" (correcting problem unnecessarily frustrating), decided follow approved process planned move 50k photos new nas drive.

    doing inside lr5.

    selected relevant folders (which bit tricky lr not responsive file management, on computer) , dragged , dropped onto network drive. voila! have 1100 "moving folder" operations in process. however, seems every folder move triggers error message "could not complete folder move. unknown error has occured.". after doing web research seems message generated if there non-image file in folder. acceptable except fact after few (4-10) have been accumulated process crawls halt. left running overnight , 30 folders moved. out of 1100!

   can't believe others have not had move large volumes of pictures , not had problem. think common practice amongst lr's target user base.

   why can't process streamlined? example, allow user accept such messages 1 click.

   why can't lr move non-image files without comment? , ignore them far catalog concerned?

 

   process still going on (now down 832 operations left) day later, , afraid still have go through source folders make sure (especially .mov files) transferred. mess.

 

g

the process recommend is:

 

  1. move or copy photos/folders using operating system
  2. relink in lightroom via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

 

assuming folders in single parent folder, re-linking requires re-link parent folder, , re-linking takes less minute.
