Lightroom 2.6 - lost jumplist

Windows 7 has the jumplist feature.  With lightroom 2.5, it showed all my catalogs in the jumplist, which was great.  When I upgraded to 2.6, the jumplist disappeared.  Anyone know how to get it back in the windows 7 startmenu?  I know this may be more of a windows 7 question, but it seems to only effect the lightroom shortcut when I upgraded...

Unfortunately, they aren't.  Tried various things, such as opening each catalog from File > open catalog, to File > Open Recent..., to opening catalog from file explorer directly, to dragging catalog file onto start menu shortcut, unpinning/repinning shortcut, ...  Nothing works.

  • Is there any collective way to have Lightroom 5 find lost files?

    Though I have tried to move folders and files only with Lightroom, I note that a good number of my images shown in thumbnails in Library cannot be opened because Lightroom 5 cannot find the files.  I assume I have moved files among drives accidentally without Lightroom's knowledge.  I also note that I can control click and try to find individual files.  Is there any way to do this find process for entire folders or drives?  Can I import files from a drive (which is the original source of the lost files) in mass and run them through the import function on Lightroom and return them directly to the file from which they were imported?  Would this create a new thumbnail in Library but duplicate the files in the affected folder and drive?

    Lightroom isn't going to allow you to import images a second time. In the left-hand panel of the library module you can Ctrl-click on a folder and choose to update the folder location or find the missing folder. Have you tried that?

  • Lightroom color labels lost on transition from one pc to another

    I started using a mac laptop in the field and always used windows pc at home. A portable hard drive holds the lightroom catalog. It's fat32 formatted so it can be used by both mac and windows.
    A catalog made by the mac lightroom opens fine in windows. However, all the color labels are lost. The flags and stars are retained.
    If a color label is changed on a photo by the windows version of lightroom, then when that catalog is opened on the mac, that photo has no color label. (even though the mac originally gave it a color label)
    And all the original color labels that were made by the mac magically return as they were assigned.
    To trouble shoot this, I installed the Lightroom 3.6 trial on 2 other pcs - one runs windows 7 32 bit and the other windows 7 64 bit. These installs see the mac created catalog properly.
    All the color labels are there and changing one on a windows box is properly reflected on the mac when that catalog is opened.
    This is so annoying.
    My main pc must have an allergy to my mac.
    I removed and reinstalled lightroom on my pc-same problem.
    Now i have to figure out what is interfering with my main pc lightroom install.
    It cant be lightroom cause i removed it and reinstalled it. but it might be one of the plug ins i use. these magically reappearred even after i reinstalled lightroom after removing it.
    Anyone have suggestions?

    The color labels are preserved between different programs (for instance between Bridge and Lightroom) and I imagine between different LRs on two different computers only when the texts entered as description for the color labels in >Metadata >Color Label Set >Edit is absolutely identical on both computers down to upper / lower case, spaces, numbers, hyphens, etc. If one dexcription for - lets say the red label - deviates from the other by only a semicolon the label will not display properly.

  • Graduated filter migration to lightroom 4 (editing lost when upgrading)

    After upgrading from 3 to 4, some editing is lost. In my case, the use of graduated filter with various effects are completely lost. How can I recover the edits?

    How did you upgrade? Are the "effects" zeroed or just changed? Did you
    update process version to 2012?

  • Lightroom 2.1 lost display of folders

    I was exploring synchronizing folders between Lightroom2 and finder Mac 10.5.6. All folders disappeared, and F7 would not reveal the folders. What next?
    JMM

    John, After posting my question, I realized that the left panel in Lightroom is not missing-- F7 works to hide/display the Panel, not not including the Folders File. So, looking in the the computer's Finder, I see listings by name of all of the Lightroom photo folders and individual images. At the top of the Lightroom hierarchy is "Lightroom", and nested under Lightroom are Backups, Download backups, and Lightroom settings. Next, BUT at the same hierarchical level as Lightroom is "My Lightroom Photos," with all photos nested under that. (Scott Kelby's new manual recommended that I put all my photos in a folder called My Lightroom Photos rather than "Lightroom". So, folder by folder I moved them from "Lightroom" to "My Lightroom Photos", correcting names, etc as I went. I probably made a mistake somewhere, and I wonder if the new file should have been placed UNDER Lightroom's name and/or if its catalog name is screwed up. Here's why: When opening Lightroom, I briefly see the name, "Lightroom 2.app alias," but when opened, the name at the top of the grid in Library says, Lightroom2 catalog.Ircat - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Library." The good news is that I found that from Library I can display all photos in a grid, one by one, or by going first to Finder, as a folder. I can also edit and print individual photos. So, I'm only missing my Folder index: you're right that nothing is missing - except the connection to folder naming.

  • Can you use cache from lightroom to restore lost photos

    I have somehow deleted pictures from my hard drive and all i have left is the cache folder. There are several .dat files ( 1 gig worth ) in the folder but I can't seem to extract them. Is there any way to extract these .dat files to their original files?

    There is 1 gig of data in the irdata folder but there aren't any previews in the catalog.
    You know the funny thing is ( well not really funny) but I have 4 hard drives in my computer, 2 external hard drives, one with a 1 tgig and the other with 2 tgig you would think I have enough backup.... well in a matter of a week i moved all my wife's pictures out of the 4 internal hds to the 2 externals and they both crashed so the only pictures we have left are the ones I hard copied onto discs before I got the externals.  Its going to cost around $1200 to recover (if they can) the pictures from One of the external hds. So don't think you are safe with just 1 extra hard drive !!! Make Hard Copies Always!!!!

  • Lightroom 5.6 lost several days of editing and organizing without apparent reason..

    All of a sudden, exclamation marks appeared on a great number of thumbnails of a batch of photo's that I have been working on for a couple of weeks. I can see that the reason for this, is that LR thinks they're in a different location: it forgot that I already created subfolders within the folder I'm working in. For the record: I did create these folders in LR. I never make changes to my folders and pictures without LR. (The photo's are not gone, they are still on an external HDD, in folders and subfolders as I have created them in LR.)
    Worst part is, obviously, that once LR retrieves these photo's, all editing is gone. It simply 'forgot' a week of editing and organizing.
    I use a Macbook Pro, Time Machine and I always have LR make back-ups when it asks me once a week. What happened? Could this be the corruption of the most recent catalog? Is there any way to retrieve this work?
    I do hope that someone out there has been through the same ordeal AND was then able to save all the hard work anyway...

    Like Ssprengel I'm not sure exactly how Time Machine works as I'm not a Mac user either but this does more and more sound like you've opened an older Catalog to me. 
    If it's not down to opening a Backup one then it does sound possibly like a Dropbox synch issue.  I stopped putting anything other than temporary (and small) LR Catalogs in the Dropbox folder due to this very problem.  Sometimes it just doesn't synch and comes up with an older file, though in my experience unless the file wasn't saved at all it does re-appear, usually with the name with a suffix that says something like "Conflicted copy".  Are you actually using the Catalog on more than one computer during the time that this has occurred?  If not then the Dropbox synch problem seems less likely to me (but not impossible).
    Do you have a backup from the day you did the work to compare the one with the missing edits against?

  • Lightroom 4: An error occurred when attempting to change modules.

    I downloaded Lightroom 4 a few days ago and installed it on my MacBook Pro. Everything worked great. I thought it would overwrite Lightroom 3, but it didn't. So Lightroom 3 is still installed, but I haven't opened it since I installed Lightroom 4.
    I downloaded Lightroom 4.3 this morning and installed it on the same MacBook Pro.  Using my MacBook Pro and a second monitor, I opened Lightroom 4.3 and worked on some photos. Everything worked great.
    Then I began watching a slideshow in the Lightroom 4.3 slideshow module on the second monitor with my MacBook Pro in the library module. During the slideshow I clicked on the slideshow module on my MacBook Pro and got this error message:
    An error occurred when attempting to change modules.
    Now I can’t get into the slideshow module. I just get the error message.
    I moved the preferences file to the trash and reopened Lightroom 4 but lost color labels, so I put it back in the preferences folder.
    Thanks for your help

    I called Adobe and let them fiddle online with Lightroom on my MacBook Pro. The Adobe tech claims I have a corrupt permissions file. He told me to contact Apple and have them rebuild my permissions file.
    When I contacted Apple, the tech said to startup my MackBook Pro with the option key held down until the first screen appears. Then click on: Recovery HD, arrow, Language, Disk Utility, Macintosh HD, Repair Disk Permissions.
    I did this three times, but some permissions were not repaired. Another Apple tech then suggested I bring my MackBook Pro to a Macintosh authorized repair shop, and have them repair my permissions file. I asked if I can buy Norton Utilities or a similar program and do it myself. The Apple tech said yes, but an authorized repair person will know which permissions to repair and which ones not to touch.
    Unless someone on this forum can tell me how to do this repair myself, I’ll get it repaired next week. And, I’ll post the results as soon as I can.

  • Lightroom 4 and Flickr

    Hello,
    I try to authorise Flickr in Lightroom 4 and it fails every time. I have tried removing Lightroom 4 from my existing Flickr account but it doesn't exist.
    I attempt to authorise, it goes to flickr. All good. I click Authorise and then the follwing page comes:
    The webpage cannot be displayed
    Most likely cause:
    Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have installed.
    What you can try:
    Search online for a program you can use to view this web content.
    Retype the address.
    Go back to the previous page.
    Thank you
    Best regards
    Paul

    Try doing a repair of your LR installtion.  This happened to my on LR5 and this solved it.  Somehow a bit of information which tells the browser how to handle the lightroom: handler gets lost.  A repair restores it.  You may need to have your LR install disc handy.

  • Lightroom Export Loosing Sharpness.

    Hi, I would like to get to the bottom of this Lightroom issue.
    Left is Lightroom, the right is 20k mb JPG export.
    I have 30mb Raw/Nef images from my Nikon d7100.
    Aftter editing in lightroom, applying sharpness and clarity (not overly though) as well as other tweaks, I'm more than happy, then on export to JPG set to 20,000mb and sharpened for screen, I am not hapy with the final image. Comparing it to the original preview in Lightroom it's lost colour, depth and sharpness and generally it's 'pop'.
    I must be doing somethign wrong.
    I was told it's about preview mode, and viewing at 1:1 and also on the export at the same res will sort this.
    Please have a look at the final images, is this comaprrison even legit?
    I can not simply let the quality on the lightroom preview go to waste.. Even on a simple screen grab the difference is noticable.
    Left is Lightroom, the right is 20k mb JPG export.

    Another example here.
    8k MB image on left LR preview on right.
    Unbelievable loss... I thought it was the original.
    I would be better just screen grabbing my images to use. Something has to be wrong here?

  • Lightroom 5 Serial in my account

    Hi,
    I have to cancel my CC subscription soon because I need money, but I would like to keep using Lightroom or at least to keep having access to my existing Lightroom library. Now, there is a Lightroom 5 serial in my account when I view products connected to my Adobe ID, however I'm not entirely sure if this is a serial I purchased separately or a serial that is part of CC. I have bought a version of Lightroom once but lost it in a move so I'm unable to retrieve that serial.
    So my question is: If I see a separate Lightroom 5 serial in my Adobe account, is there a possibility that it's part of CC and it'll stop working after I leave CC or can I be certain that if there is a serial this is the one I've bought? I know I could possibly also downgrade to the photography plan, but I'd rather save as much money as I can right now.

    it's not part of cc.
    you could download lr 5 (or 5.6) and try installing on another computer using the posted serial number.

  • Help !  Lightroom catalogue problems

    By doing some stupid things I have managed to have to re-load my Lightroom 5 catalogue which unfortunately is a month out of date. During that month I changed my folder structure and whilst I can see the folders and images on my hard drive, my Lighroom 5 catalogue is as it was a month ago without the new folder structure and with a lot of photos missing. Obviously the link between the images and Lightroom has been lost because I changed the folder structure without backing up the catalogue ( I now realise that was not smart) but can anyone help me re-link my photos and album structure to Lightroom ? Thank you.

    What happens if, instead of opening the one-month old catalog, you use the most recent catalog, the one that was in use after you made the folder structure changes?
    Look under File->Open Recent and see if any of those catalogs are the one you want.

  • Lr 4.1RC GPS metadata not read in CR2 files on Synch

    After importing CR2 files from a Canon 5dMkii I later updated those files with GPS coordinates using the program GeoSetter (www.geosetter.de).  The program is a GUI front end to ExifTool that adds the coordinates to the CR2 or JPG files.
    After the files are modified, I execute Syncronize Folder in lightroom and select the Scan for metadata updates checkbox.  Lightroom picks up the coordinates from JPG files, but not the CR2 image files.  The only way I can get the GPS data to be imported is to right-click on the CR2 files and select "Read metadata from the selected files".  That works, but any corrections made to the CR2 files after the original import are blown away (there is a warning before the read happens that alerts you to that fact).
    So I believe that there's a bug in the Syncronize Folder method that misses the updates from the CR2 files.  Is this a known bug, and if not, how can I get this info to Adobe?

    OK, let's start again.
    I assume you have changed the Geosetter defaults for your Raw files, so rather than creating an XMP sidecar file you are having the GPS data written directly into the CR2 file, is that correct?
    And you have two issues:
    1. When you synchronise the folder after making the Geosetter change, Lightroom fails to automatically detect the fact that the file has been amended, and you have to force Lightroom to read the updated metadata from the file by doing a "Read Metadata from File" command.
    2. And when you do that, all the existing Lightroom changes are 'lost'.
    Have I got that right?
    If so, re the first point, I think Lightroom is simply operating as designed. I have tested it on both LR3 and LR4 with the same result, and I guess that as Lightroom itself will never write directly to a proprietary Raw file (i.e. it would always write to an XMP sidecar file), it assumes any XMP data created by external apps would also be in an XMP sidecar file. As Geosetter isn't creating one, it can't detect changed Metadata when you sync the folder, and you have to force it to read the file. I know it WILL detect updated metadata if the file is a Jpeg, but again that's because Lightroom DOES write XMP data directly to Jpeg files, so it's more logical that it looks at the XMP area in such files during the sync folder operation.
    On the second point, that will always happen as Lightroom, AFAIK, has no capability of merging it's own catalog metadata with externally created metadata. There are two choices when a metadata conflict is detected.....use the in file metadata, which replaces the in-catalog metadata, or re-write the metadata in the file with what's in the catalog. In fact in your situation, because you are not creating an XMP sidecar file, Lightroom will never know that there's a conflict.....so when you do the "Read metadata from file" it's a one-option deal, i.e. replace the in-catalog metadata with what's in the file, and thus losing the Lightroom data.
    If your absolute requirement is for GPS data to be stored in the actual CR2 files, I can't think of any option other than changing your workflow....process the files through Geosetter first, before you do any work on them in Lightroom. If you delay importing into Lightroom until the Geosetter work is done, the GPS data will come in on import. If you import first, then do the Geosetter work, then you'll have to do the "Read Metadata from File" before starting any Lightroom processing.
    I guess you could also put in a feature request to have the sync behaviour changed for Raw files.

  • Printer profiles missing

    Lightroom 1.4 (and 1.3.1), PC, XP Pro SP2. When in Print mode in Lightroom, I select Color Management/Profile/Other, it only shows me the profiles down as far as Harman - it will not show the profiles for Ilford, or Permajet or any of the others further down the alphabet.
    I have tried changing the name of the Ilford profile to "Classic", reinstalled it, restarted Lightroom but still no show. i have rebooted the computer, checked that the profiles are in C:\Windows\System 32\Spool\Drivers\Color. I have uninstalled the profiles and reinstalled them.
    This only applies to my desktop - the laptop is fine. The desktop Photoshop installation sees all the profiles; it is just Lightroom which will only show half of them.
    Any suggestions as to how I can force Lightroom into showing ALL the profiles?

    Hi John - you were right - the FAQs told me where to look, so I deleted the Preferences file (actually renamed it) and let it get on rebuilding. Apart from the irritating lectures on the parts of Lightroom (it had lost track of the fact that I didn't want to see that message) it made no difference to the lack of printer profiles. The list progresses through the Canon profiles, and down to Harman. It just doesn't go on to the rest of the list.
    I know the rest of the list exists because CS3 can find all the profiles - just that LR 1.4 cannot

  • Finding missing files that are a different file type?

    I had several folders of jpegs that i converted to dng with lightroom.  I lost the dng files and now i only have the original jpegs.  when i introduce them back to lightroom it no longer recognizes them because of the different file type.  When i "find" and individul file it works and the missing dng is replaced with the jpeg.
    The find nearby files option does not work and finding thousands of files individually is just not going to work.  I don't want to reimport because i will lose all the work i have done to these files.
    Any ideas?  Maybe I should wait for 3.0?
    thanks,
    Braden

    ... the dng converter wont convert a jpeg to dng only camera raw files...
    Didn't know about that.
    In this case, you can use Lightroom to convert to DNG:
    Start a fresh catalog.
    Import all your JPEGs.
    Use the Convert to DNG command in Library module to convert all JPEGs at once. It will place the new DNGs in the same catalog as the source JPEGs.
    Open the original catalog where the DNGs are missing — the old catalog should be fine finding the newly created DNGs now.
    You can now trash the "new" catalog.
