Some imported photos not appearing in Catalog


i wanted transfer photos pc's internal drive nas , start using lr , catalog on mac.  so, copied of photos pc external drive (using windows explorer/file manager) brought on mac , used lr on mac import external drive nas (wd cloud).  chose "copy" option , not bring in duplicates.  took hours import ~48,000 photos appeared go well.  neatly transferred lr onto new folder on nas, subfolders date.

 

it looked great , thought when decided find 1 of favorite old pictures.  not in catalog in finder found on nas expected.  so, lr did copy file onto nas, reason didn't add catalog.  looking further @ particular folder, saw there ~305 images on nas drive 258 in lr apparently 50 items folder transferred not put lr.  checked couple of nearby folders , saw several of them had missing images while others did not.

 

i tried import again, time using "add" rather "copy" nas drive , avoiding duplicates.  hoping bring lr photos copied on nas not brought lr.  lr identified 571 photos , appeared import them correctly time.  guess 571 missed out of ~48,000 isn't terrible ratio, happened include favorites , missed photos should cause concern.

 

it disconcerting because if hadn't happened random favorite file in catalog, wouldn't have known wasn't there.  there reason lr "import" copying destination folder not import catalog?  there way identify photos skipped (other attempting reimport did)?

 

also, since don't know sure if indeed of images copied external drive nas, how can double check.  thought looking @ file count, wouldn't take account duplicates might not have been imported.

 

if have to, i'm open deleting files off nas, deleting catalog, , starting import on scratch if there's should differently next time.

 

i'm using current version of lr cc,  2015.7.

it disconcerting because if hadn't happened random favorite file in catalog, wouldn't have known wasn't there.  there reason lr "import" copying destination folder not import catalog?  there way identify photos skipped (other attempting reimport did)?

i can think of 2 possible reasons (and there may others) photos not imported in situation

  1. the photo duplicate
  2. the photo not recognized file type

 

how can identify skipped photos? obvious (but tedious) way compare number of files imported in each folder in lightroom number of photos in same folder in operating system. not aware of automated way this.
