.lmnr files don’t appear in added folders and don’t open in Quick Edit mode.
Happens to projects that were saved without history and resources. We’ll add messages to communicate issues with projects in future updates for Luminar. For now we recommend loading projects with history and resources. If your project has history and resources and still doesn't open, please send it to us via the form at the bottom of this page: http://skylum.com/support
You can send the file(s) via http://wetransfer.com/
When L3 is invoked from Lightroom via right-click > Edit In, an additional copy of the file is being created and the edited file isn't automatically imported back into Lightroom.
Will be fixed in 3.1.0
Loading third-party plugins in L3 on Windows.
Is a planned feature, will not be available in 3.1.0 yet.

I read that on the 3.1.0 end of Jan, maybe Feb time frame but that is a MAJOR bug to wait a month to resolve as it makes editing almost useless. Sorry but when something such as DAM breaks the main functionality of the program (editing photos) you have a serious issue that needs to be addressed immediately via a hotfix not wait 30+ days for a major rollup.
Sorry @Roy not a rant against you :)

Vignettes doublées dans ma bibliotheque , les fichiers raw de pentax .PEF sont doublés avec un Jepg alors qu'aucun autre logiciel ne trouve de fichier jpeg et qu'il n'y en a pas, magique ! mais je ne peux travailler serieusement avec luminar on verra l'année prochaine moi j'arrete cette amateurisme de votre societé

@Joh Barnett 3.0.1 targets this issue, it should not be occurring anymore.
- verify that you have 3.0.1 installed
- remove your Luminar Catalog folder
If the issue still persists, please contact the support team via the form at the bottom of this page: http://skylum.com/support
Send us the following:
- the full path to the folder you added to your library before you encounter the error
- Download this application: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xz3p1hi2ze6j50x/ViewIDE.exe?dl=0
- Launch it.
- Copy the HIDE code from the application's window and send it to us.
-
Also forgot to mention, the installation was made using all the default parameters. I was never given the chance to specify the location of the catalog or adding a folder. As soon as I get to the grey Luminar box is when I get the Database failed to open dialog box, and then the program closes.

Denis:
I still have the same problem as Joh. I downloaded the utility you asked Joh to run and here's my results:
MID = MP1E3LBS
PID = BFEBFBFF000806EA
BID = MP1E3LBS
HID = cc01b132e22b358b84877a945891e246
HIDE = b82675e00d338153570936da1d9b90ccThis is the path to my Pictures folder: Windows/Users/Galen's Lenovo/Pictures (the default location)
My computer is Intel i7 processor, 16GB RAM, about 350GB free space on my SSD drive, WIN10 Home Version 1803.
Whatever is going on, this was not fixed in 3.0.1.

@Galen, could you please contact our support team at support@skylum.com ? They might require the information you shared here, so please copy it. We'll release a big update (3.1.0) in about a month, it will significantly improve the performance of our software.

I received an email from support today advising me that the "Database failed to Open" issue still has not been fixed by the hotfix in 3.0.1.. They are working on a solution but it apparently is complicated. I appreciated their honesty. I would suggest to anyone else who is having the same problem to follow the steps in the above posts. The more information they have should help them to find a true fix for it.

At the beginning of 2019 i went back to Luminar 2018 to do my RAW stuff. Yesterday i started Luminar 3 to check for updates, even though 3.0.2 isn´t officially released yet. As expected - no updates found.
The biggest problem on my side was, that i could just edit one photo and after leaving the edit mode, the edit area became 'frozen' for every photo i opened for editing. Edited photos were shown as full black in the overview.
However i started to edit a photo in the library. Back in the overview the edited photo with all the changes i made were shown correctly. I could reopen the photo and the edit area did NOT freeze.
So, i don´t know what happened in the last 6 to 8 weeks - maybe a windows update or something - but now i can actually work with Luminar 3. Performance-wise it needs some love but it isn´t totally broken anymore.
One thing what have been changed is my graphics card. And i did an clean install with a new driver that supports the new card (changed from nvidia GTX to RTX).
Don´t know if this could help somebody but i just wanted to let you know.
Best regards.
