P: Import lockups

Since updating to LR CC 2015.6 Lightroom frequently locks up when selecting to import photos from an iPhone or a DSLR SD card. The problem does NOT occur with every import. But when it does occur sometimes it is necessary to delete the com.adobe.Lightroom6.plist file in order to successfully import after the force quit. Other times it is NOT necessary to delete the prefs file in order to do the import following a force quit. iMac 27", 8GB RAM, OS X 10.11.5, about 1TB free disk space. Is this a LR bug in the latest version? Didn't happen with previous versions.

Sunil, any estimate on the release date for the fix to this confirmed crasher? --Mike

If (i.e. when) you have to kill it again, you could try double clicking on the appropriate clients catalog.

This ought to start LR and open that clients library rather than rely on LR's history...

Happens to me when importing from Mac HDD. Fingers crossed the fix is soon as I am having to delay editing. Restarting LR after Force Quit does not do anything except another wheel of death!

I had it hang after start up and also while working and then importing. It is very annoying, when your client is sitting right next to you and you are watching the beach ball turning forever, have to kill LR manually, relaunch it to find it starting into another clients library which was open prior to that session while launching process seems to last 4x as long as usual. Not very professional.
As I said, never had that problem until LR version 6.6.

I've found that the import is least prone to hanging if its the first thing done in LR, but still not 100% guaranteed not to hang. So I now 'waste' time by exiting, restarting and doing the import immediately, reasoning that there is less chance of corrupting anything than if I have to kill it.

Total pain if you have multiple imports spread out over time.

Also, whenever I've had to kill it, it leaves a pair of temporary files in the catalog folder that it never clears up...

I have the same hang an import in LR 6.6, El Capitan running. I have to kill LR every time, then the restart takes forever and usually the import works normally on the second attempt. Using Apple's Photos app, all works normal. I never had an issue like that before LR Version 6.6.
