LRC fails to re-open when selecting a different catalog

Mac OS 12.5.1 Monterey

Lightroom Classic v 11.2

 

Whenever I try to select a different catalog (yes, I use multiple) and re-open, LRC fails to launch 9 times out of 10 and when I manually open LRC, it does open with the "switched" catalog fine. 

 

It SHOULD just re-launch LRC with the new catalog but does not.

 

Thanks!

Jeff

Only one or all the other catalogs you have?

Try resetting your Lightroom preferences:

Quit Lightroom Classic.
macOS: Press and hold the Shift + Option keys.
Windows: Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys.
While holding down the keys, launch Lightroom Classic.
When asked, select "Yes".

See my reply in your other thread about resetting the preferences file that contains the list of recently opened catalogs:
