P: Export with 'Add to Catalog option' duplicates images in catalog

my new Lightroom Classic does not work classic while exporting:
In the export process (of course with the option "Add to this catalog")
the exported files do not appear until the "work bar" has already disappeared long ago. So very, very slowly and sometimes not completely.
If I redo the export process (with the identical settings) and the confirmed request to overwrite existing data, LR creates duplicates in the export folder. This is obviously a database error, because in the folder the exported data exist physically only once ...

Have I described this complicated enough? :-))

And yes, I have tried it with my existing (for LR Classic updated) catalog, as well as with a freshly produced new catalog. Always the same mistake.

Thanks for any Help, Kai

Hi,

The problem is easy to reproduce :

- Export any RAW to a JPEG file into the same folder as the RAW file. Make sure the "Add to this catalog" option is checked.
- Export again "... with Previous".
- Chose the Overwrite option.

The previous JPEG is overwritten but you get 2 JPEG thumbnails with the same name. Sometimes, the RAW thumbnail may also be doubled.

If you remove one of the JPEG thumbnail from the catalog, both thumbnails are removed.

I can't imagine it's a feature.

Last post for the night. I am having an issue with the export function since I upgraded to Classic. When I export an image into a jpg for use on the web, it works fine unless I am doing a re-edit and overwrte of an existing file. I end up with two exact images in the folder I am exporting to, with exactly the same file name - there is no added number indicating one may be a duplicate. If I try to delete one of the images, they both delete. I am exporting to a dropbox folder. Classic is running on a Macbook Pro. I used the same process with the previous version of Lightroom and this problem never occured.

Herb,
Thanks for sharing the recording, the issue is clear now. I will be logging a bug for this to be addressed in the future release.

I can confirm this bug in the most recent LR CC Classic

I have the "Ask what to do" option set in my Export profile for existing file.

(1) export an image
(2) re-export the same image
A dialogue appears asking to Overwrite/Skip/Unique Name
(3) Select Overwrite

Result:
Single file exists on the filesystem - however two images are shown by LR in the catalogue view.

If I delete (from LR) one of the copies, both disappear.
Note it is not necessary to modify the file before re-exporting.

sorry, i don ́t know how to record a screencast 😞

But one more little thing:
I have this issue with lightroom classic on my Windows 10 machine.
But I just reproduced this bug on my brandnew macbook pro.

Hi Herb,

Would it be possible for you to share a screen recording for your workflow? This would help us to reproduce and debug this issue 🙂

Thanks
Satish
