I moved my photos and Lightroom catalog files to a different partition on my hard drive and then opened Lightroom expecting to have point Lightroom to the new location of the image files and catalog.
However on first open Lightroom has already found all the files in their new location, there is nothing missing.
Everything I have read says that after moving the files I would have to find the missing files in Lightroom , so how did Lightroom find them automatically?
Before the move they were in the Windows 'My photos' folder and I instructed Windows that the 'my photos' folder is now on the partition, but the file path is still completely different from before so interested how Lightroom found the location.
