The other day I used an SD card to put some photos on my Mac, i eject the sd card properly and next thing you know my whole serato library is in the trash. Crates & all.. I made a new folder on my desktop, dragged all the files from the trash into the folder (the put back feature on the trash was not working for me). I then dragged everything from the folder into serato & put the crates into my serato folder.
So now I have my crates but about 40% of the files in my whole library are "lost". I've used the relocate lost files feature but still they're not being found. even though after checking they are in fact in the folder I made on my desktop. ALSO now I have duplicates of everything. So I have my library & crates but with duplicates and several "lost files".

how do I get my library back to normal?!

All of my music & crates have totally disappeared. I've never had this happen. I have a somewhat recent backup but recently have done alot of reorganization and haven't backed my library up since then. Can someone please give me some guidance on how to fix this and get my crates & library back to the way it was?

Side note- this happened right after I used an SD card reader in my macbook to transfer photos. I've done some searching online and it looks like my library and crates are in the trash. Is there a way to get them back into serato dj pro without dragging, dropping & reorganizing everything manually ?
