Lightroom Classic no longer opens the most recent folder worked on, only most resent catalog

[donhaynes1412]

Until about 6 months ago it has always opened to the most recent folder.  Since then Lightroom Classic started opening the last catalog every single time (I never use catalogs). I have to navigate to the lastest folder and it's time consuming and annoying.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

You cannot open LrC without a catalog, so you are using one.

As for the folder issue, try resetting the preferences. The simplest way to do it is method 3 described on this page:
