OK this looks easy to change. It’s not clear why you’re not prompted for auto-consolidation – but it’s definitely related to how the latest macOS update handles cloud storage files.
In any case, there is a quick way to update all the paths in your project.
- First close Tropy and (to be safe) please make a backup copy of your project file.
- Note where the project file is located and open Terminal.app in that directory (just open the Terminal and then
cd
to the respective directory). - Now you can use the following command to update all the old paths in your project file:
sqlite3 your-project.tpy "update photos set path = replace(path, '/myoldusername/', '/myusername/Library/CloudStorage/')"
This is also explained in more detail here.
After this you can try opening the project again and hopefully Tropy will be able to find all the files again. If it does not it would be good to look into the log file again to see why the files are not being found (previously the error was ‘not found’, this time it could be a permission issue, etc.).
