Thanks for the advice. It is always valued. For me, my exports usually go to different folders depending on the subject, eg. , birds, flowers, etc. I don’t rely on LR for this. I just noticed that the last export to folder is still there. In fact, when I replied to the op, I didn’t even consider that the op might of made another export after the photos she is trying to locate.
If you put some thought into your folder structures and permanent vs WIP folders, you can create generic exports that are still purpose specific. You can also edit / update the export, say with the passage of time like year-based folders.
I have a "quick" export for online posting. I can delete contents in there or the entire folder for clean-up as the Export will recreate the folder at the next export.
If I was exporting based on years, I can set the Export to that year folder, and I add the new subfolder when I select that export. In January of a new year, I just edit the year portion of the export and save the Export setting.
