Today’s Question: In Lightroom Classic I see the “Move files on disk” message regularly and I like having it there so I don’t accidentally move images or folders. If you turn on the “Don’t show again” checkbox, and then change your mind about wanting to see the messages again, do you have any idea how to restore this dialog box?
Tim’s Quick Answer: Yes, you can restore this (and all other warning dialogs) by clicking the “Reset all warning dialogs” button on the General tab of the Preferences dialog in Lightroom Classic.
More Detail: Many of the warning dialogs in Lightroom Classic include a “Don’t show again” checkbox. If you turn on that checkbox for a particular warning dialog, that specific warning will not be presented again.
If you have changed your mind and want to restore one or more of the warnings, the only option is to enable all of them again by clicking the “Reset all warning dialogs” button on the General tab of the Preferences dialog.
After clicking this button, all warning dialogs you had previously disabled will be enabled again. Therefore, if there are dialogs you still don’t want to see, you’ll need to turn on the “Don’t show again” checkbox again for the specific dialogs you want to disable.
The task of configuring the Preferences and other settings in Lightroom Classic is a topic I covered in great detail in the lesson “Configuring Lightroom Classic”, which is Chapter 1, Lesson 3, in my comprehensive video training course “Mastering Lightroom Classic”. This course is included at no additional cost in my GreyLearning Ultimate Bundle, but is also available as a standalone video course here:
