Lightroom :: Open 5 Without Having To Open Catalogue?
Oct 31, 2013
I store my new photo files in my own file system (date and order of taking). It is this I want access to not to some new catalogue which Lightroom seems to require. Is there any way to open Lightroom and go to my files without having to create a new catalogue which I do not want or need? Also I have a separate partition for cache for Photoshop CS5 which I also use to finish off my work. Photoshop purges its files when I exit but Lightroom seems to leave files still in there which I then have to delete manually. Am I missing some prefernce which Lightroom will do on closing?

I need to export a catalogue for a college assignment and burn to CD. The export had a slight hiccup with conflicts in metadata for 2 of the dng files, but I just overwrote the data. The main problem is when I burned the files to CD and tried opening the catalogue on the CD I get the following error:
"lightroom cannot open the catalog named "..." located on volume DVD RW Drive (E:) because Lightroom cannot save changes to this location"
What am I doing wrong? I'm using LR3.4, and running Win Vista on my laptop at home. Is it an issue with my pc? Should I use the Mac's in college instead? I need to know soon as the assignment is due 11 May 2012 (this fri).

I am currently using LR 4 and am unable to open a catalog outside of LR. When I attempt to open a catalog from where it is stored in My Photos I get two dialog boxes (attached screen shots). The only way I can open a catalog is to open LR and go to Open Recent. I keep catalogs for every year and export that year of photos as a catalog and store it where I keep the photos. Up until a few months ago I was able to go to the folder of the year I wanted to open, double click the LR catalog and voila! No problems. The catalog opened.

I made a mistake and attempted to install LRcc on mac os 10.6.8. I now understand that this in not supported. Now, when I go back to LR 4, it will open some catalogues, but not the one with the most work in it. Naturally, I have done quite a bit of work since my most recent backup.

If not, is there a plug in that would do that? I need to select, then combine photos from different catalogues into a new one.

Lightrooms crashed, which is a common occurrance. But, this last time was different. After I restarted it my catalog was not linked and all my settings were gone. I tried opening the catalog through the file menu, but absolutely nothing happens. I tried going to the folder and clicking on it but this only opens lightroom with no catalog. After having scanned this forum I found that I need to delete the .lock file, but after doing that the same things happen. how to open my catalog? Will reinstalling Lightroom work?

I am working with the latest versions of Photoshop, Lightroom & ACR. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the links to Photoshop from Lightroom were all grayed out. for example when I right click on an image and select "Open With," it and all of the rest of the links to Photoshop are grayed out and inaccessable. I have been using Photoshop since v2 ansd Lightroom since v1. My operating system in Win 7.
Uninstall and reinstall Photoshop to reestablish the links. I spent about two hours doing that yesterday. when I was done the links were back and functional. I left the compluter on all night to make sure everything was backed up. This morning I opened Lightroom (64bit) and attempted to open an image in Photoshop for editing. All of the links were grayed out again.
So today I uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom.

Since I installed LR 5.2 I'm not able to open DNG or RAW files in ACR 8.2. They open directly in PS CC.

I am installing LR4. I tried to update the catalog.I received the message that LR encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog file and cannot use this catalog in this version of Lightroom. When I click on the See Adobe Technote button, I received the message that that file is unavailable from the Adobe Website. I don't want to loose all my catalog information from my previous instralling of LR2.7.

I have been using Photoshop elements for many many years and am now looking to use Lightroom as an Interface.
At the moment, I have a Folder structure on my computer. At the Top I have Photos. Under Photos I have 43 additional Folders such as ( Cindi/Ivan Pictures, Cory & Jess Pictures, Barry & Janie Pictures, etc..) Now for each of these folders, such as Cory & Jess Pictures, I have a set of folders basically broken down by month/year. Now in a Given Month/Year Folder, I have a set of folders with each one containing the pictures of a given event that occurred ( birthday, trip, etc…). Guess my initial question is how do I get these pictures into a Lightroom Catalog and do I continue to use the same Structure.
Another example - Under the Barry/Janie Pictures Folder, one of the many Folders in this Folder is called Trips. Inside the Trips folder, I have folders for every major trip that Janie & I have taken since 2004 (21 different folders) (For example there is an Isreal Folder). The Israel Folder is made up of a set of folders, for each individual event or place that we visited during our Trip - i.e. 59 different folders. How would this Trips Folder be brought into Lightroom?

Got the <Unexpected error opening catalogue> dialog when starting Lightroom 5.2. Will not allow me to save a new catalogue. Deleted old catalogue thinking that might prompt Lightroom to create a new catalogue or allow me to create and save a new one.Create Folder with New Catalogue allows me to enter a new catalogue name but then Select Catalogue dialog box is empty. Program wont open!

I'd like to move my existing LR catalog and keywords from 2.7 to my LR 5 catalog. I am using a windows PC, my mac stopped working last month.
What I want is to end up with 1 catalog with all my photos in LR 5 with all my previous edits from LR 2.7 and the keywords as well. By the way, my LR 5 has photos in it as well.

When designing brochures in X5, we quite often will save a file with no issues, but when we go to re-open it we end up with "encountered an improper arument" error message and the file is no longer able to be opened.
If you try to open the backup it comes up with a "runtime error" and won't open either. We are running Windows 7

if I open a drawing with DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) and it is already open (or the user has no rights to write to it), the drawing is opened in READONLY mode without warning.
Is there way to check if DocumentManager.Open("drawing.dwg", false) will open the drawing normal or READONLY?

How do I get my Sheet Set Manager to open up each time I open a CAD drawing? I turned it off and can't remember how to turn it back on. I use command SSautoopen, set to 1 but doesn't alway work. Sometimes if I close AutoCad and reopen it I can got to drop down menu and click on .dst extension and it will open but if I close out of it it won't open again unless I restart AutoCAD. I thought I used a command from the Express Tool menu but can't find it.

About a month and a half ago, after a microsoft update, I cannot open .cdr files from the file/open list. When going to file/open, the programs hangs up, cannot even use "cancel", and have to go to Windows Task Manager to shut down the program. All is well until I try to open a file from file/open.
I can import .eps, and everything else seems fine.My work around is to open from My Documents --Which works fine. Just is a silly little aggravation.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, etc....all the normal fixes.

I recently installed a student version of Maya 2012 on my home computer so I didn’t have to work from college for a project, but I have run into some issues.
Not sure what is going on with my Maya but it won't open files unless I actually go to it in the browser and double click on the file. Even once I have done that I can only save over it, save as doesn't work. I also can't create or set projects. There are probably more problems but these are the ones I noticed/really need.
This is what appears in my output window:
Could not find maya.utils._guiExceptHook.
Invalid Python Environment: Python is unable to find Maya's Python modules
Python Environment:
PYTHONHOME = C:Program FilesAutodeskMaya2012in
PYTHONPATH = C:Program FilesAutodeskMaya2012in;C:/Program Files/Autodesk/MayaPlugIn2012//scripts;C:/Program Files/NVIDIA Corporation/PhysX for Maya/Maya 2012/scripts
[code]....
