    The update is still missing from the macOS App Store. Is there a reason for this? Thanks!

    Since downloading this update, export with previous (Ctrl+e) does not export anything at all in any format that I wish to use (PNG or Jpeg).

    I have not changed my export settings.

    I’m using lightroom v9.2
