    Unable to search Lightroom 4 images after conversion

    TimOlive Community Member

      Lightroom 4 just converted all my images from LR3.  The problem is that I can't look up anything in the "All Photographs" catalog. Although all photos are available in the folders below, all the collections are intact, the All Photographs catalog shows 30K images, and all other functions seem normal, clicking on it shows a blank screen with this message:

      Click "import..." button to begin

      Begin what? The import button takes you to the normal import screen with "source" as being the first step. Does it want me to pick all the photographs that are already in the catalog, so that it can... import them?  The catalog already has all this information.  What am I missing?

      Right now the only way I can do a search on the catalog is to do it from a folder or collection.  I need to search the entire catalog!
