I clicked on the last .LRCAT file i have on the external. It then said it would be updated to reflect the LR3 version. I can now see all of my folders on the left side, including the All Photos at the very top which has 6146 photos which is about right. When i click on a folder, I can see the thumbnail boxes but no pictures. I then click on the ? in the upper right corner to find the location on the external. I click on said file and then i get a blank screen saying no photos found in folder. The file then shows 0 photos, and before i went to find these it shows the actual number of photo beside the files. Not sure what i'm doing wrong here.
