Question

LightRoom Classic cannot open the catalog

Lightroom Classic (version 12.2) cannot open my catalog "because of a failure".

I have already deleted the file "Current" in the file "Catalog-name.lrcat-data" but that doesn't solve my problem.

I've got the same problem, so I coppied whole Lightroom Classic (version 12.2) catalog to a new destination (to not corrupt the original catalog) and tested deletion of both "Current" and "Lock" in the file "Catalog-name.lrcat-data". Magically it works. Good luck!

It's possible the catalog got corrupted. Do you have a recent backup?
