At least I think the issue is resolved. Background on OSX for those not familiar: OS-X offers a “toolbar”, a display of icons representing generally programs or functions. The user chooses what programs/functions are included. Drag-and-drop an application icon/thumbnail onto the toolbar and you now have an active alias hotspot which you can click to start up a program. Drag-and-drop an icon from the toolbar to the desktop and the link is destroyed in a puff of smoke.
Last evening I removed the LR5 link from my toolbar. Went to my Applications folder to get the LR6 icon to drag over to the toolbar. My Applications folder is sorted by Name. Much to my surprise, right there above the Adobe Lightroom folder was a folder labled Adobe Creative Cloud. I opened the folder, found an Uninstall Icon. Clicked Uninstall, confirmed that yes I really did want to Uninstall, and my problem seems to be solved. Lightroom 6 no longer acts as though I am in a free-trial period for Lightroom Mobile. Whether the installation of Adobe Creative Cloud was a sneaky nefarious plot by Adobe, or if it was an option I failed to opt out of during LR6 download/installation, or an option I mistakenly opted into during LR6 download/installation, or if it was a glitch on their end I probably will never be sure. But the problem seems to be resolved. stan On Apr 23, 2015, at 1:16 PM, Stanley Halpin <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Apr 23, 2015, at 12:58 PM, Mark Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > >> A couple of things I have learned over the years: >> >> Don't be an early adopter.
