When I last opend Lightroom it told me the Catalog was corrupted and needed to be repaired, which it did (apparently successfully) and reopened the program when it finished about an hour later.
But now I find all these things:
– No image in the Develop window, but all images in the filmstrip (including all edits) and images will appear in the Preview window when hovering over the filmstrip equivalent;
– Image will show up in Library window, but edit controls greyed out;
– Images from most older collections show up and behave normally (note there is no 'sync' icon in the margin of the Collection panel on these, see below);
– The problem seems most to occur on Collections that do have the sync icon next to them;
- Suddenly (and I'm hoping this has something to do with it) there are 2000+ photos that Lightroom is telling me are in the process of synching, no idea why. But it's been stuck on "2153" for more than an hour, as seen on the dropdown sync icon top right (I don't know if it's supposed to count down)
– Finally, and bafflingly, the last 10 images I edited last night are all displaying and responding normally. They have the sync icon in the filmstrip. The images previously edited in the same filmstrip don't display in Develop – and don't have the sync icon.
I don't really need the sync option any more. Is there any way I can undo this option and un-sync everything if this is what's causing all the problems? Or else, is there a safe and easy way to go back to yesterday's normally functioning version of Lightroom with Time Machine (or a previously-saved backup of my catalog?) Or has the Catalog repair process knocked some settings out of whack in Lightroom's preferences which I need to reset?
