They are definitely gone. I have downloaded and installed your extraction tool into Lightroom. I have large sized previews of the deleted images in my Collection and Catalog folders. When I do the Export command, I get a pop-up dialogue stating "Some export operations were not performed" and beneath that, a file structure tree showing (file does not exist). What am I missing? intel imac osx 10.5 LR2.4 Thanks, Melissa <span class='jfriedl'>The plugin doesn't do anything to the export command (which can't work, because it doesn't have the originals from which to build copies to export). You have to invoke the preview-extraction operation from the <b>File > Plugin Extras</b> menu. —Jeffrey</span> Hello Jeffrey,

The plugin doesn’t do anything to the export command (which can’t work, because it doesn’t have the originals from which to build copies to export). You have to invoke the preview-extraction operation from the File > Plugin Extras menu. —Jeffrey

I just looked at LRViewer now and found the menu item. Thanks - Michael Hi

Michael <span class='jfriedl'>Michael, the "Marc Rochkind" you've been conversing with in these comments is the same Marc Rochkind who wrote LRViewer, and I think the point is that LRViewer <i>can</i> save the images that it extracts. Not only that, but it adds the proper metadata back for you (as does my plugin). —Jeffrey</span> Hi

I have been looking for one like this for ages. I Looked at LRViewer but it can't extract the jpegs from the previews. It was really useful for recovering the previews of some of my images that I lost (Only snapshots so it doesn't matter about the RAWs) Thanks for this plugin!

Color management also fails. I didn't think it's a problem of your soft, possibly some faults of configuration of our PC (localization of winXP, etc).
