This may be a silly question, but I'm confused. My confusion relates to the number of locations within drop down menus where I can find Plug-ins Extras. My confusion started when I was carrying out some housekeeping on my filing system.
Background:
I realised this evening that I had some duplicate files (CR2 and XML), the image files had the same _V1Axxxx.CR2 name. My import preset adds the date prefix (e.g. 20170225). I suspect I had imported the originals into LR correctly and those are the ones with the date prefix.
However I must have created/added the duplicates in some other dated folders on the disk from a backup that I used whilst travelling around New Zealand i.e.those without the date prefix. Those without the date prefix formed part of my lack lustre back up system.
I foolishly didn't have my brain in gear such that when I noticed the back up files I moved them using Windows explorer into the folders that hold the original image files. The folders concerned had a date format in their name so the Explorer drag and drop method was easy (but with hindsight foolish).
I having checked the Plug-in Manager I knew that I had a duplicate finder plug-in (Teekesselchen) and it was showing as installed and working. However at first I couldn't find the plug-in I mistakenly thought that there was only two drop down menu items that contained access to plug-ins. I now know that I have three locations and that's where my confusion is based.
Current Plug in Extra Locations in the Library Module:
"File" drop down menu has three plug in extras. 1. jf-Facebook extras - 2. LR/Enfuse - 3.On1-Effects.
"Help" drop down menu has a plug in extras. However it shows (None Defined)
"Library" drop down menu also has a plug-in extras that has three plug ins listed. 1. jf-Facebook extras. 2. Show Focus points. 3. Teekesselchen.
After all the above here's the silly question:-
Why does my installation of LR have three plugin extra locations and is it possible to have just one?
And more importantly if, I can reduce the locations from three to one how would I do so?
