Fresh install. Exact status. Private examples.

Before asking for help

Record the Lightroom Classic version, operating-system version, Catalog Check version 0.1.0-beta.3, the exact status words and aggregate counts shown in the dialog, and whether the issue repeats after extracting a fresh checksum-verified ZIP.

If the plug-in does not load

Remove the Catalog Check registration in Plug-in Manager, extract a fresh copy from a ZIP matching SHA-256 e895b772153f943c4a6aed563106ad23fb361f1586715367aefc569f3901b93f, and add the extracted Catalog-Check.lrplugin folder again. A prior private or beta registration with the same toolkit identifier should be removed before adding this exact version.

Keep support material private

Prefer a sanitized description. Do not send a Lightroom catalog, photographs, filenames, paths, client or job names, captions, keywords, collection names, credentials, payment-card details, or screenshots containing private records unless necessary and authorized.

Catalog Check is not a repair service, missing-file finder, duplicate finder, collection audit, keyword audit, sequence checker, corruption detector, backup verifier, or catalog-health assessment. Uninstalling requires no product-data rollback because it writes no catalog records, photo changes, or report files.
