P: Export Resizing Problem

It seems to me Rob, that you do not really understand what I do or do not understand. My recommendation is to read what people write - more carefully-without agenda. Are we done here?

It seems to me that you don't really understand the purpose for the "do not enlarge" feature, and therefore why/how these bugs are impacting the people who do make use of (or depend on) the feature.

The fact that *you* have NEVER seen the need to use it, does not mean it isn't useful, and used...

Note: these bugs, like so many in Lightroom, may be more of a problem *before* you are aware of their existence, and have a work-around in place, than *after*...

PS - I agree: 'nuff said...

"I'm not sure why you are trying to minimize the impact of this bug" When you propose from an incorrect thesis, you will never understand.

I think this discussion is over. It is there. It is reported. It will be fixed WHEN Adobe gets it fixed.

Right, and another option is to not export any files until the next version of Lightroom is released - so what's the problem?

I'm not sure why you are trying to minimize the impact of this bug - if it affects you, it's a disruption to your workflow, and if not, it isn't - just like most other bugs in Lightroom. Nobody is claiming it's a show-stopper (or if they are, then they are probably exaggerating) - there is one exception I can think of, as noted above (if you are dependent on contiguous sequence numbers, your show may be stopped by these bugs).

To reiterate: in all cases when this feature is needed, simply unchecking the box is completely unacceptable (isn't a work-around, and isn't a solution) - if you need the feature, you need to take other steps as well to work around these bugs.

That said, until these bugs are fixed, it seems a good idea to reconsider whether your situation really warrants having "do not enlarge" checked, or not.

So, as I said: No one is dead in the water.

It is reported. It will hopefully be fixed shortly. I have to say in 7 years of using Lightroom, I have NEVER had to check that box. Others have;that's fine. Until it is fixed, you can either lament or uncheck the box as necessary.

For some people (or should I say "in some situations"), simply turning it off is not an acceptable "solution" (more accurately: it's not a solution at all). Granted, if one pre-filters their exports by size, and exports in 2 different batches (those that need to be down-sized, and those that don't) they can work-around that way, provided they aren't depending on contiguous sequence numbers...

"it's hard to appreciate" but not so hard that you can't turn it off at need. Bottom Line. It is broke but it isn't work-stopper.

The "Don't Enlarge" option is for when you are exporting a batch of images, some (or most) of which will be reduced (down-sized), but those that are already smaller than exported dimensions, mustn't be enlargen'd (up-sized).

It's a very useful option for some people, and not useful at all for others.

PS - The initial bug reported here is 3 years old, but the new round of "do not enlarge" bugs started with Lr5.3.

In the context of this specific bug, having "Don't Enlarge" checked seems entirely superfluous, i.e. the bug can only happen when attempting to downsize an image in some way, and when downsizing there's no point in having that option checked, right?

I guess if you have no need for "do not enlarge" feature, it's hard to appreciate that others do.
