I have used Organizer for 20 years, and use it for my Website amongst other things. Have just noticed that a category has dissapeared, don't know when. Is there any way of retrieving it. Pretty sure there is not, but worth an ask as it was important with over 1,000 pictures on it. Thanks

The question is how easy it will be and how important it is to recreate the Album vs. how easy it will be to recreate the work you have undertaken since the last backup was made.

It would be really difficult to delete an Album without some assertive action by you. However, it is fairly easy to accidentally move an Album to a different category.

To confirm whether or not the Album has been deleted there are a couple of things you can do:

Find a file that should be in the Album and see whether an Album icon appears in the file's details:

Click on the Search button and select the Album tab. All existing Albums will appear in alpha-numeric order:

If the Album has in fact been deleted, your only options are to use a catalog backup to restore the Album, or recreate the Album from scratch.

Thank you for that, and agree I muust have soemhow accidentally deleted an Album. Have tried what you suggested, and it seems to have gone for ever. I did do a backup but that was 3 months ago, (I have 150,000 pictures) so will probably have to forsake that.
