I'm getting frustrated with this. I can't find a practical way of solving what I've done.
I was tired and, rather than reorganize into date files some older photos in my catalog, I decided to delete them and import them again, and let LR 6.1 automatically set them into date files. As I clicked on "Yes, delete" I realized... Uh oh! There's some photos in there that have developer settings I don't want to lose!
In short: I lost them. I have them in several LR backups but, because the last backup was on March 31st, if I import from it all the settings, that'll create aver 2800 virtual copies, which I then won't be able to erase, unless I set them, one by one, into masters.
I'm currently looking into the possibility of rummaging through the Lrcat file (because it's basically an SQLite file, I can open it in SqliteBrowser) and seeing if I can't separate only the entries for the photos I erased and import those.
Any ideas either way? They'll be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
