Show one bounded, read-only aggregate summary of the develop-preset folders and presets Lightroom Classic returns, including exact duplicate-name group counts, without displaying names or changing presets.

Who it is for

Photographers and studios who need a small read-only diagnosis of preset structure and duplicate-name groups.

The workaround it improves

Manually browsing preset folders and trying to count duplicate names without a stable aggregate summary.

Exact product contract

Inputs, outputs, reads, and writes

Every Emulyn product keeps its own boundary.

Supported inputs

  • Develop-preset folder and preset observations returned through documented Lightroom Classic SDK behavior

Produced outputs

  • One in-memory aggregate dialog with folder, preset, unavailable, empty-folder, and exact duplicate-name counts

What it reads

  • Bounded preset and folder records supplied by Lightroom Classic

What it writes or changes

  • No report file, preset, preference, or catalog modification

Local, catalog, file, and network behavior

Nothing important stays implied.

Catalog read
Uses documented Lightroom Classic SDK observations for the approved preset scope.
Catalog write
No preset or catalog write is authorized.
Direct .lrcat access
Never
File creation
Creates no report or customer file.
Network
No preset names, folders, counts, filenames, paths, or catalog data are uploaded.
Privacy
Preset and folder names are used transiently in memory for exact duplicate counts but are never displayed or persisted.
Exceptions and ambiguity
Matching names are counted byte-for-byte but do not prove identical settings or preset identity.
Recovery
The product is read-only and requires no catalog or preset rollback.

What it checks, creates, or changes

  • Supported folder-level aggregate counts
  • Exact duplicate-name-group counts
  • Empty or structurally unusual folder observations where supported

What it deliberately does not do

  • Rename, move, disable, delete, or repair presets
  • Display preset names when the privacy contract prohibits them
  • Open a .lrcat database
  • Promise a comprehensive inventory beyond the returned SDK scope

Exact compatibility

Tested rows only.

Compatibility policy
No public compatibility row is authorized yet.

Private engineering evidence does not become a public support claim until the exact product, host, OS, architecture, and release row pass review.

Known limitations

What still has to be true.

  • The exact beta.3 package has no native Lightroom host row yet; beta.2 predecessor evidence does not transfer.
  • Presets hidden inside other plug-ins remain excluded, so this is not a complete global inventory.
  • Public compatibility and distribution authority remain absent.

Installation

A Lightroom Classic plug-in installation guide will accompany the exact authorized package.

Update policy

The planned one-time license covers one named user on up to two personally controlled computers, includes 12 months of generally available updates and reasonable support, and permits perpetual use of the exact downloaded version; legal and release approval remain required.

Policy language remains subject to legal review before public activation.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before checkout.

Will Preset Audit clean up my presets?

No. It diagnoses a bounded aggregate scope and changes nothing.

Support and release

Private beta means exactly that.

Review licenses, affiliate eligibility, checkout, download, sitemap indexing, and structured product data remain disabled until this product’s release gate passes.
