    Hallo Tio Dep,

     

    Thank you for your reply, however I had paid attention to your points the hours turned into days when I finally aborted the synchronization. I managed to get most of collections back as follows -

    1. Go into a particular "Syncing" collection.
    2. Examine the contents of the particular collection and decide on a title (or remember the title you had given it before)
    3. Right click on "Syncing" title and click on "Edit"
    4. Type the title you decided on and press "Enter"
    5. This will re-establish the collection under its correct title
    6. Some "Syncing" collections contain only parts of the original collection. In this case you can label the different parts "Title A", "Title B", etc. and combine these later into the main collection

    Perhaps this may help some other unfortunate user whose collections got messed up for unknown reasons.

     

    Kind regards

    Chris
