reverse ingenering

Hello everybody

I made big errors (anong whitch erasing LR), so thought I to have lost all my setting work in LR. Fortunately could I recover one of my main template, but I don't know how nor where was this template stored. My question is: is it possible to find back the settings from exported files, for instance for a gallery?

Best regards

Fredy

Re: reverse ingenering

no, not really.
You could try reading the css files and interpolating from there. But it's probably easier to just start from scratch.

did you make any backups of the Lightroom/ folder (location differs depending on OS)? If so, all your web templates should be in the Lightroom/Web Templates/ folder

Yes I made backups of C:/lightroom/...   but unfortunately my prest were not "Stored with the catalog", so not very usefull  :-( . Hower a preset has been restored but I can't find where it was stored. If I find where, maybe could I restore other presets

Re: reverse ingenering

I have lots and lots of Lightroom templates/presets/etc. that I don't want to lose. That Lightroom doesn't back these things up is, in my opinion, an oversight.
So we have to back them up on our own. I have a backup routine that runs everyday specifically to backup my C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\ folder

I fully agree with you. I am lobbying here to get this automatic backup inside Lightroom, don't seem to be a mountain of work, but for now did I not get many support from other users.

I had to re-install all the TTG plugins, among which Publisher. After having restored Publisher I got my three instances back and fully operational (Authentication check O.K.), thus suppose I that the informations are store somewhere, i simply wonder where.

Whatever thank's for the support.

Re: reverse ingenering

Check out the TPG LR Plugin. It will back up those other important files
