Question

ALL my plugins keep dissapearing after each LR update.

It is really annoying. From time to time I see that all my plugins disappear from my LRC and have to install them all again and configure parameters which is such a waste of time.

 

I have disabled automatic updates as I prefer to have an older version of LR than to all the time go through this process again.

 

I hope they can fix this issue in the future.

The list of installed plugins and their settings are stored in LR's preferences file. If you reset preferences, you'll have to reinstall and reconfigure the plugins.

 

Have you reset preferences recently?

Do you mean update or upgrade? Big difference. An update should not do that as a new catalog is not created. An upgrade could do that as anew catalog is created (upgraded). Update going from v 13.0.1 to v 13.1, upgrade going from v12 to v13.

 

What do you have in /preferences/presets/location

An upgrade should normally not do this either, because the new catalog is created in the same folder as the old catalog. It would only happen if you store the plugins in your catalog folder and create a new catalog folder when you upgrade. I have my plugins in the default location, and I never see this happening.
