Lightroom Classic version: 10.4
Operating System
  1. macOS 11 Big Sur
After I merged two large catalogs to make a single one with over 520,000 previews in it, I have been seeing strange Keywording features.
1. Several thousand now show Madagascar in the 'Keywords and Containing Keywords' panel and also in the Will Export panel- only a few hundred should be showing this.
2. When I try to enter the keyword 'Madagascar' in the Enter Keywords panel, I get an internal error message popup saying:
?:0: attempt to index field 'parent' (a nil value)
3. I cannot delete Madagascar as the keyword doesn't appear in the Enter Keywords panel.
4. I have lost the predictive text function when entering keywords
5. The keyword Madagascar only appears once in the keyword list, and in the correct place in the tree, under Africa.
6. There is no mark (-) against madagascar in those previews that are not taken in madagascar, yet they show madagascar in the containing keywords view.

Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

You likely provided the path to the catalog folder rather than .lrcat file. But no need to sweat if you're sending the catalog to Philippe.

You do not need Philippe’s email. Click on the “Link” option. Up load the file and the website will generate a link to that file.

You can then either send Philippe that link in a Forum PM or poste it in a reply here for everyone. ;-)

You can use Swisstransfer without entering an email adress. You will get a download link you could then send via any mean.
I've send to you the procedure via a PM.
