When I opened the new 11.1 it asked me to update my catalog so I did. Now the LAST FOUR YEARS of photos are GONE!!!!! I am VERY upset. VERY!!! Hundreds of hours of work down the drain!! I think it made a backup copy prior top the update, what is the name of that file? I also have a recent backup I did a week ago. Best option would be to use the one it just made though, if I can find it.
Catalogs are like address books- you might dig out an old one to look at and it is not up-to-date.
It is possible the LrC simply opened and upgraded a very 'old' catalog that was in your system.
In LrC choose MENU: File > Open Recent. and see what other catalogs (including a more recent one) is/are lurking somewhere in your system.
If LrC does not find another- search with your OS File Browser for Catalog files of the .LRCAT file-type.
If then nothing found- Unzip the last (recent dated) backup of the Catalog- COPY it to your usual Catalog folder (Pictures?) and [Double-click] to open this one from the backup.
Only You will know the name of your catalogs!
