    Are you referring to the name of the catalog, or are you referring to info when you click on Help, then About?

     

    Remember that the new upgrade process no longer renames the catalog. Instead it backups the old with some additional text (basically the date) and creates a new catalog with the exact same file name as before the upgrade. (not sure in what order that all occurs, and Adobe documentation on this, well lets say not great)

    I was going to post the exact same issue. It is a problem since the latest update. Now we are v14 and the catalogue wants to name itself "name-v13.lrcat" and then backups the real "name-v13-3.lrcat" to some zip. i do not like this, the previous behaviour was much more structurised. Please bring it back.

        Hi - I have exactley the same issue.  To check, I backup my catalogue (using v14 LRC) and it is stored as v13-3.

         

        So if I restore from that backup named 13-3 it is actually v14 and will work.

         

        If I manually change the name of the catalogue to v14 will that foul anything up?

         

        Thank you.
