This is to prevent people from using the PUBLIC BETA for production work and damaging their files. You are supposed to a) DUPLICATE the ORIGINAL files you are going to TEST it with, and b) create and test with a NEW catalog. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom3/releasenotes.pdf
This is a test evaluation only release at present. If it is running poorly, go to the adobe forums that were detailed on the page from which you downloaded it and in the release notes do discuss it: http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/lightroom3/ Public Betas like this are not for everyone. Lots of stuff is far from final and will not work correctly yet. And they're not for production work. I've worked with it only a little bit so far, and thus far it seems to work pretty well on the machine I'm testing it on (MacBook 2Ghz, 2G RAM). ============= Thanks. I assumed it wasn't suppose to work with the old catalog. But there is certainly something wrong with the way it is creating a new catalog. I used 1.4 Beta when it came out and didn't have a similar problem (or whatever the previous Beta was). So it's definitely bug report time. Although I didn't see the release notes and the information about using copies of files, so maybe they disabled creating a whole new catalog. I don't mind doing debugging for someone on something like this -- so the end product will be something I want. For instance, I wanted to check out the watermark feature. Thanks, Godfrey.
