1. Select the photos you want to check
1. You need to select at least 1 and max 1500 photos
   
2. Choose Menu -> Library -> Plug-in Extra -> EditCheck
   or
   Choose Menu -> Help -> Plug-in Extra -> EditCheck

Q: Why a limit of 1500
A: Since Edit Check creates almost 50 collections with the selected photos that have not been changed, the processing could take a lot of memory.
A limit of 1500 has been set for safety.

Q: Can I change this limit
A: Yes you can, but at your own risk!!
You can easely run in a memory problems when you set the limit to high.
Further the purpose of this plug-in is to check the photo you are to deliver or send and not to check your whole catalog.

Follow these steps to change the maximum number of photos to be checked:

1. Close Lightroom
   
2. Go to the EditCheck plug-in directory, see How can I find the plug-in directory?
3. Search for files called like "TranslatedStrings_xx.txt"
   xx stands for the language you are using.
   If your language is not there the default "en" will be used.
4. Make a backup of the original file in case somethings goes wrong.
5. Open this file with an editor
6. Search for the text "FindEditCheck/Settings/MaxPhotos"
7. Change the number behind.
8. Save the file
9. Restart Lightroom
   

Q: Can I change the default settings?
A: Yes, default the plug-in uses the defaults of Lightroom
There might be situations where you would like to check against a different default value. For example when using a "Develop preset" during import.
In this situation you might want to check against the develop values of the "Develop preset".

You can change the default values of the plug-in, but this is at your own risk!

All default values are stored in files called "TranslatedStrings_xx.txt", where xx stands for the abbreviation for your language. If you language is not there you should use the "en" version.

1. Close Lightroom
   
2. Go to the EditCheck plug-in directory, see How can I find the plug-in directory?
3. Search for files called like "TranslatedStrings_xx.txt"
   xx stands for the language you are using.
