Jpeg mini lost in Lightroom

I have been using Jpeg mini in Lightroom for a few years and just noticed that it was gone. Probably during one of the recent updates. I have checked plug-in manager and I can not even seem to locate it on my mac. I have found some Jpegmini files, but not the plug in itself. I have downloaded the free trial but I really dont want to have to purchase it again. Any thoughts? Thanks

I assume you mean you've found the JPEGMini executable files. 

One way you may get it working is to use Export Actions. Right click on the executable and choose Make Alias. 

In Export in Lightroom, go to the bottom of the panel to Post Processing. In the menu, choose Go to Export Actions Folder now. This opens a folder. Copy the alias file here.

Restart Lightroom. 

This alias is now selectable in the menu for use. Now, this depends on the executable accepting drag and drop to run. It may not work....

Actually, you can just choose the application directly without this.. I'm so old school sometimes...

Not all plug-ins actually show up in Plug-in Manager, Did it show up before?

 

In Preferences/External Editing, does it show up?

Not famililar with the oroduv=ct, but a few questions

 

1. Does the application currently exist in the Applications folder.

2. Is your current copy, 32bit or 64 bit?

3. Ais your current OS Catalina?

4. Did it work before katest LrC, but still at that time OS Catalina?
