Power outage - all publishing instances vanished

My computer suffered a power outage whilst LR was busy publishing an album. On starting LR up again, it defaulted to an initial installation type of screen, and all adjustment settings and panel layouts had gone. Having got LR working reasonably normally, I now - horrified - discover that all publishing instances have disappeared.

In the left-hand column, I see, greyed out, "? TTG CE4 Publisher (missing plug-in)" as the old heading, and nothing underneath where all the album sets and albums were. If I right-click on this, I get the LR Publishing Manager: "Can't use Plug-in "TTG CE4 Publisher" The "nil" plug-in is not installed or not functioning properly."

I have the same in all my catalogs, so it is not catalog-related.

Any suggestions how to recover?

Re: Power outage - all publishing instances vanished

A couple things to try:

reinstall the plug-in

trash the LR preferences file (this often fixes many strange things)

Thank you, Rod! I trashed the LR preferences file and almost everything appears to have recovered immediately! Too good to be true. I'm sincerely grateful.

It's a handy little trick, isn't it?

Re: Power outage - all publishing instances vanished

I'm glad you're back on track. Personally, the integrity of Lightroom and it's files has been making me nervous of late.
