Hi folks, these last two days I decided to dive into my (huge) photo library again. Imported some stuff, created some collections, etc. I closed things yesterday evening without anything notable happening. This morning, I can't open LrC: all I get is the spinning beachball of death (MacOS).

What I've tried:
- force quit and try again
- try opening the library instead of just clicking on the app
- try opening my last backup from last night
- restart computer
- try opening some other library from a few years ago

Any suggestions for how to move forward with this... is there a kind of "safe mode" I could open LrC in, without a library for example?
