P: Droplets no longer work with export presets (CC 2015.4)

Export preset where you chose "Open in other application" and you have selected a droplet (I have a folder with many droplets) does not work, because the droplet utilized by photoshop is not the one chosen in the export preset

Hi Rikk,
Is there a way for somone at adobe to test this on windows?  OR I can send you the action which may work on your mac, but not sure if testing a windows problem on a mac makes sense

Gethin,

I did some testing with my own droplets on 75 and then 150 images and got 75/75 and 150/150 successfully created.  

I sent you a direct email to the address you have registered here requesting your Droplet and your Export Preset so we can have a look and see if we can duplicate.

Hi chaps, windows 10. Yes I'm happy to share the droplet. its quite a long action. Exports are typically 15-40 images.   try this: http://adobe.ly/1qp9kOK if you need the action (as opposed to droplet), let me know

It would also be useful to know the OS. If Windows, it might be running into the command line length limit.

Gethin,

I would like to do some tests using your Droplet and your Export Preset. Would you be willing to share those files with me? 
How many images are in a typical export that is failing?

Sorry to hear that Gethin ... though now I am glad I haven't had the time to update to 2015.5.1 ... even though I make all my monthly payments on time without fail, I'm still stuck at 2015.3/6.3.

I wonder if I'll be stuck here permanently if I wish to utilize Ps Droplets in my workflow.

Very Troubling.

*** Jeffery – Any chance of a partial refund and a hold on billing until this issue is truly resolved?

Not fixed. Droplet in export preset processes about 1/2 to 2/3 of the files requested but gives the droplet cannot connect error message.
2015.5.1, photohop, bridge, camera raw all up to date.

This should be fixed in the Lightroom CC 2015.5.1/6.5.1 update that was released today: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/04/lightroom-cc-2015-5-1-now-available.html

So, Jeffrey  ...  if I tell you Lr crashes when I try to export a batch of images to a Ps Droplet ... it will be fixed sooner? You should have told me that a couple of updates ago ... I could have saved myself ... and many other users all the fun of beta testing and trouble shooting for you.
