P: Merge to HDR and Panorama doesn't work

On a regular basis, I merge 5 bracketed shots from my drone.  In the older LR, this operation took about 1 minute or less.  I could "batch" 5 operations at a time and have them all done in about 3 minutes or less.

 

With the newer, faster, more awesome (and likely soon-to-be-deprecated) LR, it simply won't do anything.  I was lucky and had one HDR to work, but I've tried countless others (one for nearly two hours) and nothing happens.  The progress bar makes no progress.

 

I'm really worried that this important feature is simply victim of a bug.

 

Anyone else having issues?  Adobe, what's up with this??

 



I'm using a medium-powered PC that has never had problems with merge before.

    I have this problem as well on my 2017 MBP after updating to 10.14.6. Completed the config.lua file suggestion as well. No dice.

    I too seem to have this problem after updating to 10.14.6 
    Any fix? I have already added the command to the config.lua:

    Config.lua-Flags: 
    Features.disableGlobalTaskManager = true

    did some tests. little panorama with 2 shots makes great because only RAM is used to proceed. When 3-5 shots used and RAM is not enough - panorama makes in delay in 1-2 hours and more. MacPro 2015 with SSD and enough free space. This is started after macos 10.14.6 update, before that there is no such problems for several dozens of different panoramas.

    it look like something changed how LR using Virtual memory in addition to using RAM on macos. From now on, LR can't use Virtual memory on disk as much as previously used to create panorama file.

    Hi Krishna,

    Can you share a few details to help us troubleshoot this slowness:
    - System Info from 'Help->System Info' menu option
    - Image location: HDD, SSD or network share?
    - Average size of each image

    I installed latest Lightroom on my new MAcbook 2019 with 16GB RAM and after I click Merge, it hangs at 25%. I disabled graphic processor, and now it hangs at 50%. I can merge 2-4 photos. But when I am trying 8 or more. It never completes. Tried the config.lua setting, no help.

    And my older 2009 Macbook would take hours, but would complete the Merge. The new one with all the horsepower does not complete even if I leave it overnight. There is no CPU or disk activity as well, so the Lightroom is really stuck.
