Hi Brenda- I am really not an expert in hard drive recovery and don't feel comfortable giving too much advice where the hardware is involved. I am an expert in recovering Lightroom catalogs (specifically, the .lrcat file) when the corruption is in certain areas. If you are in a situation where you would like me to try and repair the .lrcat file then I can certainly give it a shot for you. Having said that, here are a few points that might help: I would personally be very hesitant to trust hard drives that are continuing to have corruption issues. If there are physical issues with the disks you are using the corruption problems may keep coming back up. Previews can always be re-generated (although it may take some time.) I wouldn't worry at all about "recovering" previews as you can just re-generated them as needed. If you've saved XMP metadata to the files, then if you re-import those files into Lightroom the data in that XMP should be respected. Note, however, that not all Lightroom data is in the XMP data. For example, pick data and collection information is only stored in the Lightroom catalog. I'm sorry I can't help more. Like I said- if you provide the .lrcat file I can try to recover that file, but your most recent backup may be as good. -paul ... View more

I've reproduced this issue. A bug has been filed. ... View more

We've documented this properly in the current SDK. Example: local props = import 'LrBinding'.makePropertyTable( context ) LrDialogs.presentModalDialog { contents = f:row { f:static_text { title = 'text' } }, actionBinding = { enabled = { bind_to_object = props, key = 'actionEnabled' } } } ... View more

Yes, that documentation is flat out wrong. The 'actionBinding' parameter actually gives you access to the button's view binding properties (to allow you to do things like enable or disable the button.) This property should be removed from the documentation. Bug filed. ... View more

Try getting the first sub-folder by path and then using that folder. That worked for me. So... local root = catalog:getFolders()[1] local rootName = root:getName() local subFolder = root:getChildren()[1] local subFolderName = subFolder:getName() local subFolderByPath = catalog:getFolderByPath(subFolder:getPath()) local subSubFolder = subFolderByPath:getChildren()[1] local subSubFolderName = subSubFolder:getName() ...

Okay, I could reproduce on mac only. Windows seems fine. I'll file a bug for this. Thanks for the post. -paul ... View more

I couldn't reproduce this problem. I actually did think I saw the behavior once, but then I could not reproduce so I think I may have just had a bug in my test code. Can you try breaking out the calls into multiple lines like this: local root = catalog:getFolders()[1] local rootName = root:getName() local subFolder = root:getChildren()[1] local subFolderName = subFolder:getName() local subSubFolder = subFolder:getChildren()[1] local subSubFolderName = subSubFolder:getName() and let me know if you still are seeing an issue...?

If you've previously had a valid CC version of Lr installed you should not have a licensing problem installing the standalone installer version.  Going back to 5.4 will not delete any of your existing preferences, but you should be able to go directly to 5.5 with the links I posted. I'm glad it worked for MSBPC but I would definitely recommend uninstalling Lightroom before running the standalone installer to be safe. -paul ... View more

If you are having this problem on mac can you try holding down Option while launching Lightroom?  This should bring up a Catalog selection dialog.  If you get that far, trying creating a new catalog and see if you can start Lightroom that way. Thanks, -paul ... View more

MPLTD- Thanks for the console log.  That message should be harmless and shouldn't be the cause of the issue.  Can you try reinstalling?  You can delete the Lightroom package from the Applications directory, restart the Adobe Creative Cloud App (you have to click the gear icon and say "exit" otherwise the app will just be minimized) and try re-installing... Thanks, -paul ... View more

Betty- That sounds like you may have a rogue Lightroom process running... Can you either check TaskManager to see if you can see a Lightroom.exe process running (and end the process if it is) or simply restart your computer to see if that helps? Thanks, -paul ... View more

What specific error are you seeing on start-up?  Is Lightroom actually crashing or are you prevented from starting up for another reason?  What OS and OS version are you seeing this issue on?  Have you tried uninstalling/re-installing Lightroom?  Does this happen with every catalog or only a specific catalog? ...

Hi Paul- I definitely get the frustration of not having Dolby 5.1 support in Lightroom. AVCHD files are supported, unless they have Dolby 5.1 in which case you will only be able to play the video without sound. If you are seeing different behavior please let me know so we can investigate what is happening. This hasn't changed- Dolby 5.1 was never supported in Lightroom. It was not a feature added and then later removed. Lightroom 4.0 never supported Dolby 5.1. -paul ... View more

Thanks for the thoughtful post Delane. I agree with your analysis- it is spot on. If/when we see dolby digital 5.1 in DSLR's it would be really hard for Lightroom to not support it. I also agree that it would be a nice add-on for those who really do want to manage their video assets via Lightroom, but as I mentioned it is unlikely we will see this feature soon. I will continue to track this internally and make sure it stays on the radar though. -paul ... View more

I have been tracking this issue internally, but as Dolby Digital 5.1 is not a feature found in photography cameras, it sounds unlikely that we'll add support in the near future... ... View more

Rob that is not the behavior I am seeing. With multiple photos selected, I am seeing multiple virtual copies created (one for each selection) even when in loupe view. Do you have a a plug-in with the bare minimum to reproduce this issue? Some sample code may help (I realize it is a single call in question, but obviously we are doing something different so the context may be relevant.) Thanks, -paul ... View more
