Hi,
  So I recently subscribed to Adobe's Photoshop and Lightroom package and have Photoshop and Lightroom Classic installed. When I install QImage Ultimate, the plugin's find the Photoshop directory and install the plug in, however, it says no Lightroom installation found and does no install it for that. This has been occurring since 103 and continues on 104.

Wondering if I'm missing something.

FYI, this is on a fresh install, as I had to rebuild my boot drive recently.

Thanks.

When Lightroom installs, there should be a folder %appdata%\Adobe\Lightroom.  If it can't find that folder, it can't install the LR plugin automatically.  You can do it manually: open Qimage, select "Utilities", "Explore Qimage Application Data", open the "Plugins" folder, then the "Lightroom" folder, and then open the QUExport.lrdevplugin folder and follow the manual install instructions in the ReadMe.txt file.

Regards,
Mike

Thanks for the info. That indeed seems to be the problem. There is no Adobe\Lightroom directory under %APPDATA%. Since this is a fresh install, I'm wondering of this is some type of change they made recently or not.

**EDIT**
So in looking at the Lightroom Plugin Manager, it shows all the Abobe created plugins in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom Classic directory now.

That would be the right place for includes plugins (that come with LR) but not for user plugins.  Those should still be in appdata.

Mike

Interesting. I'm wondering my it didn't create the user directory. I added it via the "Add" option in the plugin manager and it sees it now but left it in the Qimage Plugin directory.

Oh, well, in any case, I'm good to go now.

Thanks.
