• Lightroom has encountered an error when reading a catalog file and must stop smoking.

  Since I installed Snow Leopard, I get this error. LR restarts and the catalogue is very well, but I let him turn and come back an hour later and there is the same error.

  I checked the file system on my USB key and it is fine. It's a whole new catalog that I created to export a former. I've never had this problem before.

  Your drive eSata connection should be just fine - if this copy is fine. If you can d/l through which images in a folder on internally, which would be faster and safer than other methods via a USB port. I don't think that LR cares about the type of connection, but the operating system don't you...

  Hi Adobemun,

  Seems that your preview cache is corrupt.

  You must go to the location where your catalog is stored and get rid of Previews.lrdata (not .lrcat file) then, launch Lightroom and it would recreate the previews itself.

  Kind regards

• Opening 5 LR I see "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and need to quit."  I deleted the folder Preview Cache completely (saved).  What can I do next to load Lightroom?

  Anybody out there can help get LR works again.

  Open LR 5 I see message "Lightroom has encountered an error in its cache of the preview reading and needs to stop smoking".  I deleted the folder Preview Cache completely (saved).  This does not solve the problem.  What can I do next to load Lightroom?

  If you remove the preview cache folder and the problem persists, then most likely you have found the wrong preview cache (it's for a different catalog previews) and you must find the right cache overview. You should use the search function of your operating system to find all files whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA and remove each of them until you can open your Lightroom Catalog.

• Why does say lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and need to stop smoking? (Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts) and then stops?

  You must browse to folder Pictures\Lightroom via File Explorer and delete the Previews.lrdata folder.

  I have not found any solution. You have an idea? Thank you.

  Your preview cache was damaged and should be removed.

  Using Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder, navigate to the folder that contains your Lightroom Catalog - usually within my pictures or photos.

  Delete the folder with the name ending by Previews.lrdata. Do not remove anything else. Now, launch Lightroom.

• Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache

  What can I do to fix this? I bought my lightroom if it matters.

  Hi Gary

  Greetings!

  You must remove the preview for your Lightroom Catalog Cache.

  It is located in the same folder as the catalog in Lightroom. The name of the cache an extract ends with Previews.LRDATA and should be deleted. Not to be confused with *. LRCAT, which should not be deleted. Here is a picture of what it is named as default LightroomcatalogPreviews.Lrdata.

  Location /Pictures/Lightroom on Mac and my Pictures\Lightroom on Windows Pictures/Lightroom on MAC

  Delete this folder and restart Lightroom
