Junk Yard · Cards, notes and editing
What does "Missing" mean on a Junk Yard file card?
Short answer: "Missing" means the original file can't be found — deleted, or on a drive that isn't connected. The card only holds a reference, so reconnect the drive or delete the card.
It means the file the card points to can't be found any more — it was deleted, emptied from the Trash, or is on a drive that isn't connected. The Junk Yard only keeps a reference, not a copy, so there's nothing it can open or paste.
If the file lives on an external drive, plug the drive back in and try again. Otherwise, delete the card.
