Hello,
Had my first stumble with LR yesterday. Still LR 1.2
I have two catalogs. The second one is Family.lrcat. On opening it I got an error message that the catalog was corrupt and could not be backed up.
If I hit ok then I'm in LR. All the photos seem to be there, cataloged, metadataed, etc. I can search them, etc. i.e. to my eye the catalog seems fine. I can even do Apple-S and update the metadata of a file.
I went to the backup drive where LR had been doing the backups. I copied the Family.ircat file from a few days ago (when there wasn't an error) and then pasted that into the directory LR is using (after re-naming the lrcat file there).
When I open it it tells me that this lrcat file is corrupt and cannot be backed up. This seems odd, since it had no problems a few days ago. It too appears to work just fine.
I tried the same with a Family.lrcat file from a few weeks ago - same error.
My other catalog loads, backs up, works just fine.
Before I just deleted the Family.lrcat catalog and re-created it (all the actual files are, of course, safe and backed up redundantly elsewhere) I thought I'd see if folks here had other fixes I might try.
thanks,
