I think your catalog backup process is broken

Your backup system is broken. When I use opt key open method - I have to race to select a backup to restore before L3 starts "updating image gallery". If I don't win, it is not possible to select a backup. If I do win, L3 still won't start even when I select a backup from when I know it was OK. I suspect L3 is not restoring the backup even when I manage to select one.

  Tony, No doubt, the backup system is broke. Since I started trashing the backup folder after closing Luminar, I no longer experience crashes when launching. And so far, I have not lost any edits. I believe the backup system is the main culprit, though there are other issues probably not related. Anyway, I would like the option to disable backup in preferences.

  Hi,

  as I moved the backup from the catalogue-folder in a separate backup-folder I have no further problems. Now I can also start Luminar by holding the alt/opt key to choose from the automatically stored  backups (before it crashed every time). I see the problem in the backup system.

  Although I have to mention that I lost at least 2 hours of work to figure that out and am a bit frustrated :-(((
