Tethered Shooting Session - Files saved to computer, but after closing LR, lost progress on photos

[jomo1717]

Mac OS X (El Capitan), Nikon D7000, newest version of Lightroom (updated before the shoot).

Hi all,

I did a session today with two different models, shooting tethered to my machine. Shooting went flawlessly, and during the process I removed a bunch of photos, set a ton of ratings for future reference and editing, and made a host of minor tweaks and adjustments to photos on the fly.

Problem is that I exited Lightroom as we wrapped up as I had to run out. When I came back and reopened the application, I could find no trace of the session. The host folder was empty (in lightroom, that is), and I had to manually import all of my files from the source location on the laptop into a new folder for Lightroom. Unsurprisingly, all of the edits and ratings I made were not apparent.

What exactly does it sound like I did incorrectly that led to this?

Thanks so much for any help!

Hi jomo,

Please check are you using the correct catalog. Open Lightroom while holding down the shift key and it will show you all the recent used catalogs.
