Not double-click ... click and hold.
i meant double-click to open a catalog meaning it as an echo of your
statement "open the catalog however you normally do"; certainly one
could also use Open With; my thinking was, LR was missing, but a catalog
was at hand, use the latter to open (and thus find) the former
The Finder will not launch applications from the Trash,
i guess i didn't make my distinct suggestions clear --
1) find a catalog, double click to see if it launches Lightroom, if it
does, the app is somewhere (and the Dock will help you find it)
2) *failing that* look for LR in the Trash (and if you find it there,
drag it back to /Applications
3) *failing that* (and based on the other posts) it looks like LR is
actually gone, a reinstall will be necessary,
3b) in answer to the question about uninstalling, i said yes, assuming
LR uses activation -- which i now see it doesn't, so the uninstall is
probably something to try only if a reinstall doesn't work (i know
uninstalling doesn't really "fix" activation problems, but activation
correlates with "making a mess on the disk")
If it's running on the system, it's in some location in
the file system outside of the Trash.
from the sound of things, LR wasn't running -- if it were it would be in
the Dock
I see more problems and errors
created by the obsessive uinstall/reinstall stuff than I see cures.
um, who's obsessive? i'd only consider uninstalling if one was sure
reinstalling was necessary, and then only with certain types of apps
like those from Adobe; i can count on one or two fingers the number of
uninstallers i've run in the last few years
