Lightroom Plugins
Three plugins for Lightroom Classic that take on the unglamorous work of a large library: finding the photographs you already have twice, putting missing files back where the catalog expects them, and naming the place a photograph was actually taken.

Detail
Four jobs a large Lightroom catalog eventually needs doing, in one plugin: find the photographs you already have twice, count what file types you are actually holding, catch HEIC files that have gone bad, and fix capture dates that disagree with the folder they sit in.
Lightroom marks a photo as missing when the file moves out from under it. This searches the folders you point it at for files matching those photos and puts them back at the paths the catalog still expects.
City names are rarely the answer. This reads a photograph’s GPS position, asks OpenStreetMap what is actually there, and proposes the specific landmark — the temple, not the province — for you to approve before anything is written.
