Question concerning restoring backedup catalogs.
My backed up catalogs are stored as a zip file(Lightroom Catalog.lrcat.zip).
When I use the Lightroom menu to: File/Open Catalog, and navigate to the backup folder, I get the message "No items match your search". It seems that it is looking for Lightroom Catalog.lrcat without the .zip suffix.
If I use Windows to expand the zipped file, then it is found, and I can open it. This looks like this is a new feature of Lightroom. Is it documented anywhere? The documentation that I've seen doesn't mention a zipped file. Should I be doing something different?
Then, when I open the (expanded) backed up catalog, It recognizes it as a backup, and tries to help by warning me that I may be loosing some work. It also tells me that it turned off sync.
What does this mean, and should I turn it back on to continue using this catalog?
