Lightroom 3.3 3.4.1 what happened to my 1:1 previews ???

I went to a great effort 9 months ago, after recommendations on these forums, on how to avoid Lightroom continuously rebuilding thumbnails.
The steps involved deleting all existing previews and rebuilding the 1:1 previews and setting them to never expire. With a catalog of 120,000 images this took about 56 hours to complete and for 7-8 months it's been working like an absolute charm.
Then "stupid me" I upgraded to 3.4.1 in order to have a new Fuji camera supported by LR and all seemed fine until today when I started moving up to parts of my catalogure where I have not been in a few weeks and all of a sudden lightroom is rebuilding thumbnails all over again. I then selected all images in my catalog and asked Lightroom to recreate 1:1 thumbnails and now it is busy re-rendering 127,036 thumbnails which is no doubt going to take another 2-3 days to complete.
WHY if I have told Lightroom to NOT ever let 1:1 previews expire, Why oh Why does Lightroom decide to just do it's own thing?
I'm really fed up, I would have thought by now Adobe would have stupid problems like this sorted out. I do not have the time to wait 2-3 days for thumbnails to render when I already went to a great effort to do it.
What changed from 3.3 to 3.4.1 that caused this to happen and what guarantee's does Adobe have that this will not happen again. Adobe surely cannot expect professionals to put up with this kind of nonsense, not when the product is already nearing it's 4th release.

Anyone that is really "into" kernels and knows more detailed differences?

What happened to the ability to preview an Adobe doc in tile view in the folders?

I download a lot of PDF files for crafting and don't print them out until a time when I'm ready to do the project. I've got tons in my folder. I used to be able to see what the project was in the folder using the tile view but no longer. Now it only shows the Adobe Acrobat icon. I can't even preview it using the preview frame. I would like Adobe to go back to showing the preview so I don't have to go through and open and close evey single doc just to see what it is!
Is it clear what I'm asking?
64-bit, yes....why do people keep asking that? My computer is 4 1/2 years old so 64 bit has been out a LONGGGGG time and is pretty prevalent these days.

BUMP
Don't ya hate it when a company won't take questions from you but insists you use the public forums and then they don't bother to monitor them or reply to questions there!?!?!?!

What happened to Save As in Preview?

How do I change a png file to a jpg file, easily?

Ahhh. You're right. Export does not keep the document open.
Not only that ... File > Open Recent does not list the file. Which I suppose is correct, since I've never opened it.
Bring back Save As ... (or put the functionality into Duplicate or whatever)
Honestly, what's the point? I bet (and I posted this question) that Save As ... has been around a long, long time. I'd guess that if you looked across all applications, all OS's, all time, Save As ... would be number 5 on the list of most used features.
Save As ... probably only got beaten out by:
Power
Boot
Open
Save
Sheesh.

In Firefox 3.6.16, for pdf files, I have a choice between using Preview or asking whether to save; what happened to the choice between Preview or save?

I am running Firefox 3.6.16 on a Mac Air (OS X 10.6.7). When given a url ending in .pdf, it used to be that Firefox would offer a choice between running Preview on the pdf file or saving the file. Now you can set your preferences so that either you run Preview, always save, or always ask whether to save. Apparently there is no way to get it to ask you whether you want to run Preview, save the file, or cancel. Is there some way to restore the old behavior?

Check the setting in Tools > Options > Applications

What happened to the Lightroom 5 Beta forum? Deleted, not archived or merged?

What happened to the Lightroom 5 Beta forum? I understand that LR5.2 is now in full release, but it would be nice if the Beta forum was locked and archived for reference. It seems to have been completely deleted, along with some detailed feedback by myself and other Beta testers. (I can't find it if it is archived, anyway.) None of my many, many LR5Beta forum contributions are listed in my "Content" tab in my Adobe profile. All of the links to the LR5Beta discussion in which I contributed to (such as http://forums.adobe.com/message/5271729#5271729 ) lead me to this message:
"Unauthorized

Big thumbs up for Pete.Green and Daniel T! Thank you for this incredibly fast response! I worked very hard on explaining my "Advanced Adjustment Brush" proposal back in May 2013, and I am glad that it is again available for reference... in fact, even better, as it appears that the thread is now fully unlocked and availble to reply to. I still firmly believe this proposal is the way forward for Lightroom's local adjustment tools in the future. I hope that the remainder of the LR5Beta forums will eventually be brought back for reference.

On Lightroom 2.5 - What happened to the Softness Brush?

What happened to the Softness Brush on 2.5?

I got these instructions from others;
If you open the Preset Tab of Preferences, you should see a button near the
bottom that says Restore Local Adjustment Presets. Try clicking that.
OR,
Installing 2.5 should not affect your presets. I still have mine. That
said, Soften Skin is simply a preset that comes installed by default.
The settings are:
Clarity = -100
Sharpness = 25
Everything else set to 0
If you have presets that are not showing you can check Edit >
Preferences > Presets and see if Store Presets with Catalog is checked.
If it is, uncheck and restart Lightroom to see if that brings them back.
Otherwise you can just create a new preset with the above settings.

What happens to my catalogue if if quit the program...can I buy just the lightroom 5 then.

What happens to my lightroom catalogue if I leave CC...who's property are the images..

You'll be able to keep using Lightroom and do everything you do now - except go into Develop or Map.
The images are your property.

Hello, I d like to buy Lightroom but first I want to know if this is possible to install it on two different computers? If not, what happen if I change my computer. Thks for your help.

The standard licence covers installation on any two computers - one being in use at any time.
If you change computers, simply uninstall from the old machine and install on the new - Lightroom doesn't use "dial home" activation and deactivation.

I just installed LR CC and am having trouble opening catalogs where I followed the instructions to upgrade. Just posted a question about it.
Discovered a problem when I went looking for some images that were not included in the most recent catalog. After opening up a couple of older ones and upgrading, I went back to the most recent and couldn't opening. Message says it is not writable. And also says it may be due to incorrect permissions. If you have any suggestions for this, I would love to hear them.

Updated camera raw plug-ins and now photoshop does not recognize ANY files and I can no longer edit in photoshop from lightroom. What happened?

I don't know what happened, but ps6 is no longer working. The window is there, etc., but cannot pull in files to work on. I am on MAC. Help?

I have the same problem. Any solutions?

Same photo in more than one catalog - what happens?

What happens if you have the same photo in more than one catalog?
Background: I'm using a 4yr old 13" MacBook and my Lightroom is getting rather slow, on some pictures unusable. At the same time my lrcat files are growing rather fast. Probably due to my current work on some old scanned slides which require quite a lot of spot removal (last 3 photos worked on increased the lrcat file by 250mb) and each time Lightroom became virtually unusable. I will be upgrading the computer but it wont be for a few months yet. On one of the last slides I ended up with a "Oops! An untagged string (history step does not belong to instance) got thrown far enough that we display it to the user. This shouldn't happen.".
So I'm looking at splitting my catalog into two or more seperate catalogs. But I have some galleries which contain photos from what would cross "sensible" splits of catalog so I thought about having the same photo in both catalogs where necessary.
My Lightroom is set to include metadata in XMP (probably making the performance worse). I had intended to split catalogs using "export to catalog".
Does the photo in each catalog have it's own develop "fork" ? (i.e. does the metadata include catalog tags) ? Or will changes made to the photo in one catalog automatically upadate the next catalog (or overwrite changes made in the other catalog), etc.? Only a single computer, no network/sharing issues, nothing on exchangable/removable disk drives.
I could experiment but after quite some time the other day resolving the "history step does not belong to instance") I am treating my catalog with great care.
(I have does a search for the question so will be very embarassed/appologetic if somebody says "Read www.adobe.com/.....").
Many thanks

For some reason photos were scanned in as jpegs. They end-up at around 16-19MB each. Reasons for that are historical. I am applying spot corrections in Photoshop in a new layer, then merging layers when everyting is done OK to save (saving as PSD gave a massive file size). I will try saving as tiff. Personally I hate JPEGs but was never too concerned about the scans in LR as LR is never resaving the image (non-destructive editing). I may easily upgrade to CS6 (upgrade is <£200 on Amazon), but being non-professional, fuds are not unlimited (particularly with new computer coming soon!!).
So weird effect is with jpegs around 16MB after Photoshop edits. It is completely reproducable (i.e. has happened exactly the same of every photo done via this route). The surprising thing is that exiting and restarting LR stops the weird effect.
Adding 2 and 2 together to get 22, I wonder if, as I have "Write Metadata to XMP ..." enabled, if LR has a watch on the file for changes after switching to external editor (i.e. to detect when external editor saved changes so LR updates from the file) and that that "watch for change" is not cancelled after exiting the external editor - maybe because LR cannot know if external editing is compketed (even though exitng Photoshop does not stop the effect). Then, when LR writes to the file (to update the XMP data) it "detects" the change it causd itself and hence the reload. If I change the Catalog Settings to disable the "Include develop settings in JPEG ..." and disable the "Save XMP Data ...", the effect goes away and if I re-enable those catalog options the effect returns.
I will try saving as tiff in future now I'm really re-saving the image.
Many thanks

What happens to us?

I would call myself an avid amateur. I use Lightroom about 90% of the time and Photoshop the other 10%. I shoot mostly for my blog and for my friends and family. I do my own printing.
Where do I and people like me go in the new lineup? It seems our only option is to pay a humongous fee monthly for services we will never use. Other matters are also not clear. For example, how will we be able to process pictures in Lightroom on Safari when there is no Wi-Fi? For that matter, how will you be able to access our pictures without Wi-Fi? There is also the question of price; what happens after the initial discount expires and Adobe now holds all our photos and processing programs?
It seems to me from the way you are marketing the cloud you are purposefully ignoring "intermediate users" in favor of outright professionals. This despite the fact that we have been loyal to Adobe for many years.
When I missing?

We hear you (and many others in the same boat). See this blog post (made yesterday) which specifically notes your concern and which states:
"For photographers, we are looking at potential offerings that recognize the photography community – because it is so broad – has some unique needs."

I would like to migrate from Aperture. What happens to my Masters which are on a RAID array and then what do I do with my Vault which is on a separate Drive please ?

I am sorry, but I do noisy understand what happens to my RAW original Master files, which I keep offline on a RAID array and then what I do with my Vault which as all my edited photos ? Sorry for such a simple question, but would someone please help my lift the fog ?
Thanks,
Rob

Dear John ,
Apologies, as I am attempting to get to the bottom of this migration for my wife ( who is away on assignment ) and I am not 100% certain on the technical aspects of Aperture, so excuse my ignorance.
She has about 6TB worth of RAW Master images ( several 100 thousand ) which, as explained, are on an external RAID drive. She uses a separate Drive as a Vault . Can I assume that this Vault contains all of her edits, file structures , Metadata, etc ?
So, step by step........She can Import into Lightroom her Referenced Masters from her RAID and still keep them there ? Is that correct ?
The Managed Files that are backed up by her Vault , are in the pictures folder of her MacPro, but not in a structure that looks like her Aperture library ? This means Lightroom will just organize all the Managed files, simply by the date in the Metadata ? Am I correct ( Sorry for being so tech illiterate ).
How do I ensure she imports into Lighgtroom in exactly the same format as she runs her workflow in Aperture ? ( Projects, that are organized by year and shoot location and Albums within those projects with sub-locations, or species , etc ). What exactly do I need to do in Aperture please to organize Managed Files to create a mirror structure of Aperture on my internal Hard Drive ?
There are a couple of points I am unsure about in regard to Lightroom. Does it work in the same way as Aperture ? Meaning, can she still keep Master Files on an external RAID and Lightroom will reference them ? If the answer is yes, how do you back up your Managed ( edited ) work in Lightroom ? ( Can you still use an external Drive as a Vault ? ) . Will the vault she uses now be able to continue to back up Managed Files post migration ?
