I am new to Lightroom, and yesterday as I was about to import a rather large pano, LR displayed 2 windows right after one another. The best I can remember what they said was "Lightroom is now closing ...catalog". It happened so fast and then just began it's exercise. I looked at the Library and all my catalogs were gone!
The best I can remember is that this occured while importing the pano because when I looked at the library there was only one photo in Lightroom the pano.
I looked in LR's folder and there is LR 2 catalog Ircat. and the preview Irdata.
Since first installing LR I have backed-up once.....(not installed very long) Is there a way to see what's in these files or get LR to look at them?
Really don't know what to do with this....and I don't know what I did wrong?
Would anyone have an idea of what happened? I sure dont' and don't want to repeat this....
I'm working on a Mac Pro with 6 gb of ram. Nothing else opened at the time.
thanks
