Plug-ins suddenly all messed up

I am using Lr Classic on an iMac running Monterey 12.6.

I make use of DxO plug-ins, especially Nik Silver Efex Pro (v3).  They play well with Lr.

Yesterday I went to move a file to SEP using the "Edit With" menu option and the menu showed me a link to an old, non-existent version: v2.   The other pluggin links rfrom Nik are showing in the menu as previous, non-working versions, too. When I click on one, I get an unchanged Tiff image back--the pluggins do not open.

 

As a work around, I exported to PhotoShop.  At least there the pluggins on the menu have the right versions, but when I tried to use one my iMac hungup--beachball of death.

 

I am waiting to hear from DxO support, but wondering if there is something I can do to rule out Adobe as the culprit?

TDD,

 

Thank you so much, but Ahhhh. This did NOT solve the problem.  I get the same menu in Lightroom--listing NIK plug-in versions that do not exist, not the ones I have reinstalled twice now.

 

How do I get Adobe to look at this?


It may be that the external editor presets have not been updated. You can create your own in the Additional External Editor section of Preferences by choosing the Application (SEP etc) and saving the settings as a new preset.

You could try reinstalling DxO NIK

Thanks, but reinstalling did NOT solve the problem.  I got an up-to-date link from DxO and reinstalled the Nik Collection. I uninstalled the old NIK and reinstalled the new, which work with files from my desktop.  BUT Lightroom still shows me old versions in the "Edit-in" menu.  See screenshot.

 

The dropdown menu exists and seems to work in PhotoShop now.

 

This is a Lightroom problem that may need escalating.  How does one do that?

When the 'link' between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop and other app's has issues, one of the first things to try is this:
1. Use the Adobe Creative Cloud application to uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic and when asked, keep preferences. 
2. Install Photoshop first, then Lightroom Classic. The same should be true for DxO. IOW, the order is important. 
Better?
