Hello all - I have two questions:
1. When I open LR, I have been getting a warning box that says: "An error occurred when attempting to switch modules." Then a pop-up window opens, extolling the virtues of Lightroom CC, etc. I click the blue 'Got it!' button at the bottom of the window, the pop-up window closes, but LR does nothing - it is no longer responsive. I quit LR normally, then reopen it and it moves along as usual. I've not been able to track any pattern with this; It seems to be a random thing. I'm guessing this is something left over from the last 'big' update? Thoughts?
2. I currently have one catalog in LR. It is is organized by my old file keeping system, which itself is a carryover from my film and darkroom days. It worked beautifully for sleeves of negatives, and well enough for working with Bridge and Photoshop. However, with LR and all it can do, I want to do something better. Starting with 2018, I plan to create a new LR Catalog for work starting in 2018 and onward. I have no plan to combine or merge the old catalog with the new, but I don't want to delete it. Is there anything specific I should be aware of so as to not create any conflict between the two?
Thanks much!
