PureRAW6 dng output not imported into the Lightroom catalog

I’ve been using this workflow for years and suddenly it stopped working

Export from LR Classic to PR6 & process. Afterwards, the output dng is sitting in the right place but it is not imported into the LRc catalog as in the past (as recently as Nov 1, 2026)

I can add the dngs manually, but that is not an ideal solution.

I just tried the workflow on my other laptop, and it suffers the same problem.
I’m running MacOS Tahoe 26.7.3, PR6 v 6.9, LR Classic v16.0

The two PR6 plugins are enabled: “DxO PureRAW 6” and “DxO PureRAW 6 Importer” show no error in the status panel.

It’s possible that the Nov update to LRc is the culprit, or DxO and Adobe haven’t worked out a handshake. I can’t say. There was a minor OS update on Nov 9.
I last used PR on Nov 1.

One solution, suggested by Claude, is to reset the LRc preferences, which I have not yet tried..

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

One other pet peeve is that I can no longer change the export strategy to select a subfolder (e.g. DxO) for export, but that’s minor compared with this issue at hand here.
