Sandi Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I have tried using the Beta version with Lightroom Classic V12 but cannot get it to work. I tried the same sort of workaround when installing V2 however this does not work with the Beta version. I have searched the forums and cannot find the helpful post that allowed several workarounds last time. Can someone please point me in the right direction or remind me what to do?

What exactly did you do with V2 originally?

Sandi Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I created a .bat file and pointed Lightroom 'External editor' to the .bat file, but that does not seem to work. I am having to 'show image in explorer' and then open image from there. Edited February 18, 2023 by Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that method, your .bat file probably contains a command starting photo2.exe, and your new file should instead start photo2beta.exe Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

I think it has something to do with the way I am using/saving the .bat file. When going to writing it in the cmd prompt in windows it just opens the P2beta programme - can not save it from there. When I wrote it in 'notepad' and saved it and then pointed LR to it, again just AP2beta opened but with no image actually opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said photo2beta.exe but I think you just made a typo in your post, from the rest of your description. If no image is opening, it sounds like you included the %1 in your original .bat file but not in your new one.

walt.farrell Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Ok. So check whether you included the %1 you used in your original.
