Raw plus JPEG confusion

I have several Lightroom folders with both raw and jpeg versions of images. The Library grid view shows each of the raw files as ''RAW + JPEG'' and the metadata panel shows it as a raw file with a jpeg sidecar. The jpeg files show in Grid view as jpeg's.

When I run a ''Synchronize Folder'' it tells me that all of the actual jpeg files are ''missing'' and asks if I would like to remove them. But they are not missing, either from the folder or the library. I can view and adjust them in the Develop module just fine. Both raw and jpeg files are also listed normally in the Finder

I am running LR 2.5 on OS X 10.5.8

How can I get this straightened out so that both raw and jpeg files are listed correctly (separately) and none are considered ''missing''

Many Thanks

Raw plus JPEG confusion

On Import you can choose to treat them separately, or as one bundle, but after the fact, the 'cure' is quite involved. Why not just refrain from synching those folders, since everything else there seems to work for you.

In the future, choose to treat separately, or, as many do, eschew the use of JPEGs all together.

Raw plus JPEG confusion

Thanks. The thing is that these files were originally imported with the 'treat separately' choice checked. Somehow, that box got unchecked and it affected all files already in my library! If I go in and change my preferences back to treat the jpegs and raw as separate files, there are no longer any missing files, but the raw files are still designated as 'raw+jpeg' with a sidecar. That would seem to be a bug.

Also, I rarely shoot or import both raw and jpeg, but occasionally want to compare development settings against in camera processing modes..

Thanks
