Lightroom 6: no icon for the lrcat file association

On Windows Pro 8.1, the catalog Lightroom 6 files with extension lrcat, are presented is no longer with an appropriate icon.

It is not a big problem, because the files are always associated and therefore open with Lightroom. Unfortunately, I get bored easily the catalog files in Windows Explorer without the icons.

I updated Lightroom 5 to 6 and removed version 5 before installing the new version.

I tried to restore an icon associated with the file by changing the default program to another and return to Ligthroom. It did not work.

Can MS I manually associate a catalog with an icon?

See you soon,.

Dave

If you don't mind using Regedit, simply find the key of "DefaultIcon" under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobeLightroom6.lrcat". There should be an entry there called "(Default)" value. Just pop the value of your lightroom executable (default should be "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\lightroom.exe".) That should solve the problem for you.

    Questions 1)

    Not because the LRDATA file is fair previews, what LR displays on your screen for a faster loading of the image and will be recreated. The previews only stored in the folder LRDATA is the basic overview created at time of importation for the display of thumbnails and previews of 1:1 for images that you have actually looked in the Loupe View or I guess that appears in the develop module.

    He get all the data to create the image themselves file extracts.

    If you have several files on your system that have pictures in them and you select one of them that you have not looked at in a while, you will notice LR creation of previews for these images, there will be 3 white dots in the upper right corner of the thumbnail. It's LR creation of previews for the thumbnail view. If you scroll quickly in the grid view, you'll notice a few thumbnails of images are gray, until you stop scrolling, then the upper left tile will come in clear view and the white dots will appear on the other images. It's LR creating previews for those of other images. Once LR created the preview of thumbnails that are on your screen, white spot will disappear. If you scroll down again, you will see more white dots

    If you switch to another folder that LR begins again create preview images in this folder. The total number of previews created and stored based on caching of the preview you have in the catalog settings dialog in the management of the files tab.

    If not, you need not the LR Previews.lrdata folder. Whenever LR is not very good this folder with a catalog he recreates it to store previews in.

  • Icons of file type for the .docx files are incorrect

    I started with a version of Microsoft Excel and Word Starter on my computer, but once I started University, I had to install a trial version of Office Professional. Since I installed the trial version and then uninstalled the starter version, my icons of file type for the .docx files resemble white pieces of paper. However, all other types of files shows an icon of Microsoft Word, such as for example .rtf files. Only the .docx icons are incorrect on the hard drive of the computer and to a flash drive I carry school (icons are correct on the flash drive on the school computers).

    I noticed several instances of this question which arises and have tried the following:

    (1) I gone through Control Panel and repair of Microsoft Office Professional 2010 (and restarted the computer).
    (2) I tried to check the default program for the .docx file type and he was placed to Microsoft Word. I have reset WordPad and return to the floor, but that did not always help.
    (3) I tried the command refresh of Cache icon through the Run dialog box.
    4) went through the registry to check the icon for docxfiletype, but my problem with this is that the icon for Microsoft Word is not a default system icon.
    I don't know what else I could try to fix this and I really should leave him alone because my files opens properly, but I think it's very boring and for some reason any he just in general that bothers me.
    Any other suggestions would be welcome!

    sacurasaturn, the professional office changed the icon to its own icon. they think it's better

    You can soothe just automatically change the icon back manually or if you want to be the original or even a custom of your choice

  • Where the lrcat file?

    I replaced my hard drive after a crash and were recovering the data.  Using Lightroom 3.6 on Windows 7, where should I put the .lrcat file?  Does go in C:/users/name/pictures/lightroom

    It can go anywhere you want. Lightroom it by default in, I think, my images, but you can place it where it makes more sense for you. Once you have restored, double-click it, LR will open it, and you leave.

    You should probably tell LR to create previews.

  • Missing icons on the open file dialogue box

    I am running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).  All updates applied.

    Problem: When you use the dialog box open file - some file/folder icons are missing.  Not that big of a deal, but introduce that dialog open file in an application they may crash.  I think this may be the cause.

    Details: When I use Windows Explorer, everything seems as it should be in the Navigation pane.  For example, I see Favorites and Desktop under Favorites.  The desktop icon is correct.  Everything is as it should be.  If I open Wordpad, and then select file open, the dialog box is, once again, as it should.  All the icons displayed.  However, if I open Word 2007 and select the open file, there is a strange icon for the office and most of the other items under Favorites, some of my libraries display one appropriate icon, others do not.  In the right pane (where the files are listed), there are no icons for files at all, they are simply empty.  I can select the files, then open them, everything works, just no icons.  It is not only the Microsoft Office applications that illustrate this.  If I open the VLC media player, select media, open a file.  I have the same thing (missing icons).

    I could live with that, but it seems to cause some applications (applications specifically Flash) to hang when I try to open the files.  For example, if I try to upload a photo to Snapfish.com using the Flash application, it crashes every time than IE when the open file dialog box opens.  Exactly the same happens using the Chrome browser.  Everything works fine as long as I do not open the open file dialog box.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    -Create an another user account (Admin) and check if in fact you are still having this problem

    -Turn your computer into a cleanboot scenerio to isolate if a 3rd party service is potentially the first cause of this issue.  Here are the steps...

    Step 1: Open the System Configuration utility

    ClickStart

    type msconfig in theSearch box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.

    Step 2: Configure selective startup options

    1. in theSystem Configuration utility dialog box, click Selective startup on thegeneral tab.

    2 clear theLoad Startup items check box.

    3. Select Indexing Options.

    4. click on the Advanced button.

    -In addition, each local user account have their Iconcache.db file or database is located at c:\users\Username\appdata\local\iconcache.db.  Please remove this file.  However, it is preferable that you simply follow the steps below.  Everything must be simple to follow.

    Re-create the file icon-Cache by deleting

    1. Each user has its own file named Iconcache.db: USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Iconcache.db
    2. Close all the explorer.exe process using the Task Manager (or else it will create a bad file during the closing session/restart)... Go to the processes tab and locate explorer.exe and right-click on it and select end process tree tree/end of tasks
    3. Use the Task Manager (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC) to launch the explorer.exe again... Once you open the Task Manager, click file, new task.  type 'explorer.exe '... All of your icons should reappear with the taskbar.  You may need to shut down or restart your computer.  Please check if you are able to see your icons with success.

    If you please follow on this thread at the earliest, I would be very happy.  I look forward to hear from you.  Have a great day.

    In practice, I want to be able to scan and download through my documents located in my iCloud and once I didn't need them on my iOS device I would like 'load their return to the cloud' to my storage of the iOS device is not used.
