P: Fails to import photos and stalls out on macOS 10.15 Catalina

When attempting to import photos from my Nikon D850, Lightroom Classic states it is importing photos but status bar is not progressing and no photos are being imported. Restarted system and program along with camera and still has issue. This is all been occurring with macOS Catalina 10.15.

    Damn. More workflow pain. 
    I've spent many thousands of bucks on Adobe products over the years - when the issues with Catalina became apparent, the least they might have done is send their customers a head's up via email - or a message via the Adobe apps that I pay $30/month for.

    Hi Melissa,

    Can you share a dropbox link with sample raw images and send it to mayugupt@adobe.com?

    Thanks

    I found today exactly the same problem: Lightroom on my Imac is not importing my files after updated with Catalina.
    I was trying to import from a card, not directly from the camera.The card was  a new one ( Ext Pro). I repeated with another card and the same problem happened !

    A long shot. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab. Unlock the lock at the bottom. Select Files & Folders down the left hand side and make sure Lightroom is listed all of its checkboxes are checked.

    Hi Melissa/ Yann,

    Is it possible for you to share the raw images? You can send dropbox link to mayugupt@adobe.com.
    Also if possible, can you try to import images from another sd card? 

    Thanks

    Can I go back to previous mac operating system or should I wait for Lightroom Classic to "adjust"to new Catalina?

    It didn’t work but thank you for trying. Still not able to import into Lightroom classic either of the ways that you are normally able. I’m assuming it’s Catalina related. My computer updated on its own and I wasn’t aware it was set to do so.
