After upgrade I am unable to locate Snapshots or History

LR Classic upgrade v10 to v11 - the upgrade seems not to have brought forward the photo SnapShots or History from the previous version and seems to have overwritten the catalog back up settings - both significant weaknesses. These have caused significant disruption to my processing and this is a very poor way to upgrade the product.

Coo ... now I can't tell whether this post has been accepted. The Post button gives no clue as to whether the post has been successful or not!

"I don't believe that I upgraded the wrong catalogue. I vaguely recall editing the name of the v11.lrcat to exclude the v10 bit."

Use Finder to compare the size of the v10.lrcat file to the v11.lrcat file. If you haven't done a significant amount of new editing they should both be about the same size.

OK thanks guys (all of you). It seems clear that something went wrong in the upgrade process.

...2-2.lrcat created 22 Feb 2020 & modified 25 Oct 2020 is 616.1b

...2-2-v10.lrcat created 25 Oct 2020 & last modified 27 Oct 2021 is 1.17gb

... 2-2-v11.lrcat created 27 Oct 2021 and last modified 14 Nov 2021 is 452.3mb (smaller than 2-2 and a lot smaller than 2-2-vb10)

If 2-2 was upgraded rather than v10 as intended then I would expect the photos included in v10 between 25 Oct 2020 and 27 Oct 2021 to be missing - which they are not.

Perhaps this is more than just a question of which catalogue was upgraded and more to do with a failed or corrupt upgrade. I note that one of your links above notes that there are some instances of problems with the upgrade process.

I wonder if my best approach now is to rename all the current v11 catalogue files and run the upgrade again on the v10 catalogue and be more wary of what the result is. I would then have to reimport and process all the photos since the first upgrade attempt.

Thoughts?

I might also consider starting a completely new catalogue and starting from a clean position for all new photos, as I am down to 300gb left on that 2tb external SSD and I run the catalogue on the external SSD which also holds the photos.

If your confident that the v10 catalog includes all your edits, etc prior to the 11.0 upgrade, then I would strongly recomemnd that before upgrading same, you move all the other files (including the previews.lrdata) into a new sub subfolder. You should then move this subfolder out of the Lightroom folder that contains V10 catalog (lrcat). Next, I would double-click or use Open With... command, the v10 catalog to launch LrC 11.x and allow it to upgrade the catalog. You'll will need to rebuild the previews but this is easy, albeit time consuming. I would aslo zip the now redundant v10 catalog and/or move it to a subfolder. The idea being that only the latest catalog, previews, etc is directly accessible to LrC.

If you follow the procedure that I set out above you should find that your preferred catalog is the one that's upgraded, and that the catlog folder isn't strewn with files, catalogs, etc that will only cause confusion/error at a later date.

So you are saying that History is empty?

This almost sounds like you accidentally imported some photos twice a long time ago, and only one such photo has edits and snapshots. Have you confirmed that there is no history anywhere in the upgraded catalog? Create a smart collection for photos that have edits, and see if this smart collection is empty.

OK - as regards History, I don't understand how the History can not even show an import date. I can't find any photos in the catalog (prior to the upgrade) with a History entry for import, let alone any processing steps. Photos imported and processed since the upgrade date show import and processing dates in the History. A minority of photos show some snapshots, but most snapshots which I know to exist on photos prior to the upgrade date are missing. Where there are some snapshots the History is still blank, not just for the import but also for the processing steps which would have given rise to the snapshots. See attached.

As many people, including me, refuse to download attachments, I can't see your screen captures. You should include them in your reply by clicking on the "Insert Photos" icon.

But I don't need to see all of them. Pick one of the blank history photos, and show me the history panel.

Also, it may be that you accidentally upgraded the wrong catalog file. Please use your operating system's search feature to search for all files on all disks whose name ends with .LRCAT. Double-click on each one to open it in LrC and see if that is the file you want.
