Hello everybody.
I barely missed a heart attack! I wanted log out of my apple ID because of very limited wifi and even though, a message showed I could not be logged out at this time, my whole desktop was whipped. On the desktop was the LR folder. everything was gone,
However I was able to restore the desktop via timemachine .
Stranger even, when I opened the trash I found the LR catalog in the trash, or shall I say "A" LR catalog. I have now two catalogs, one that is seemingly just created, and a big one, that seems the original.
For now, I deleted the "new" one, and use the one I found in the trash
Now I have the problem, that in the restored catalog the folder "....2019 LR cat -2 Smart Previews.lrdata" is present, BUT none of the smart previews are available if I open the catalog.
I found the smart preview folder in the. "2020-07-23 2126" folder
How do I get my previews back without creating another 57GB folder?
