Issues and Fixes Installing NLP on macOS

Today, I

  • updated macOS on a M1 MacBook Air to Tahoe version 26.5.1.
  • installed (from scratch) Lightroom Classic version 15.3.1
  • installed (from scratch) Negative Lab Pro version 3.1.1

Doing this, I found the following things that seemed less than ideal - and the respective fixes

  • lemonsqueezy did NOT have my license key
    this issue was easily fixed because I do note license keys and do backups.

  • the keyboard shortcut was missing
    this issue was fixed by running the NLP installer again.

  • my presets wouldn’t be stored, as the Negative Lab Pro folder was set with owner=System
    this issue was fixed by setting owner to (account name) and applying it to all objects within.

This is just a compilation that I hope will help others.
