Editing RAW file in PL5 over local area network lost changes

I edited NEF photos on my laptop connected to my home network. The raw files were in a shared folder. This morning, I’m continuing my edits on my desktop, which has the shared folder on a local drive. My edits are gone! I don’t know what happened. I see the dop files created last night. Is it an issue to edit files over a local area network?

Hi,

  1. Are the same drive letter and folder path assigned to the shared folder on both machines ?

  2. Ditto for the database path.

Have you tried to import the .dop files manually (via the file menu) ?

Possibly, the two machines work with cached folders that are stored locally. If the synchronisation between these folders and the server has not worked (properly), edits might not transfer (properly). You might also get unexpected virtual copies. Check the forum for posts on this.
