Full Version: Everything in lightroom is gone!

Ok, here is what I just did...
I opened up Bridge in CS2. I saw the Lightroom folder (that I have seen before but never checked out). I thought to my self..."I wonder what is in this folder?" So I opened it in Bridge and Saw the Lightroom Icon Along with two other folders. Well, I double clicked on the lightroom Icon, and it opened up lightroom, with NOTHING in it. None of my imported images were in it. So, I closed lightroom, and went my desktop and reopened Lightroom the normal way, and the same thing... nothing there.

It is not too big of deal, I can import anything I want to work on again. I have my settins set to write and save a seperate xmp file with the RAW files, so all my changes should still be there. But, I am wondering what happened, and If there is a magic button to click to get everything back!

I haven't tried that. lol You may have created a new catalog somehow. When you startup Lightroom, hold down CTRL and see if you can choose the old catalog.

Well, I got it fixed. I opened up something in the back up folder for lightroom, and it brought everything back. Not sure what... but it is back.

you probably opened your library file. as long as you opened the latest version of it, you will have everything that was in lightroom before you "lost" it.

glad you got it fixed.
