Mac OSX 12.01, Apple Silicon M1

LightRoom Classic 11.2

 

After upgrade from 11.1 updating any published collections (to disk) is very slow and gets stuck.  One or 2 get published, then progress stalls

Re-installing 11.1 solves the problem.

    @Rextilleon, your thread appears to have been merged into the authoritative bug report for this issue. See the answer marked as correct from Adobe employee Rikk Flohr:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-update-publish-collection-stalls/idc-p/12752055/page/2#M32412 

     

    Given that Adobe has announced it was beta testing a fix already, it seems likely that the next release of LR will correct the issue. On average, LR releases every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 11.3 in early April.


    One workaround that works for some is to view another collection briefly (e.g. the Quick Collection) and then view the published collection. Another workaround is to roll back to version 11.1.

        As you can see from the top of this thread, Adobe has acknowledged the bug and is preparing a fix, which I think will most likely appear in LR 11.3, which based on past experience will most likely come out early April. 

         

        Workarounds in the meantime: If you're using Friedl's Smugmug plugin, he released a new version today that works around the bug:

        If you're using Smugmug's plugin, roll back to 11.1. Or when it stalls, try clicking on the Quick Collection for a second and then back on the collection being published.

        If you're using one of Friedl's publish-service plugins, he just posted the following:

        Suddenly, some plugins sometimes start to hang after processing one image. This affects only Lr11.2. The workaround is to view a different collection (even momentarily), and things become unstuck. Versions of my plugins released on 2022-03-09 or later have that workaround built in (if the plugin notices that things are stuck, it will switch to the Quick Collection for 0.1 seconds, then back to whatever collection had been stuck).

        I am using latest update of LR classic as of 9/3/22 with Smugmug plugin (the latest version) Using Windows 10.  I create a new gallery and upload it via the plug in without issue.  I then modify the photos in LR (specifically add metadata) and go to the collection to find they are marked as 'Modified Photos to Re-Publish'  All good so far.  I hit the publish button and the 'updating Published Collections' progress bar appears and looks as though it will start.  Only the first photo uploads and then it hangs. Clicking the x on the progress bar makes it turn red, sometimes it hangs and I have to exit by using task manager other times it clears itself.  if it clears itself and I click on 'Publish, nothing happens, even if I select all of the photos then publish, nothing happens. Then when I go to close LR I get the option to make backup, which I select and the progress bar looks like it is about to backup but oddly enough the green bar leaves the left side and moves right to the other side, It will cycle like this forever.

        When I click cancel the button wording changes to cancelling but is greyed out and the progress bar continues to cycle.  I have to resort to the task manager to exit LR.  I reopen LR and try again but exactly the same issue with only one photo uploading then hanging. If I close LR without selecting back up LR closes ok. I was in contact with Smugmug who checked various settings but in the end suggested that the issue is probably with LR.  I would appreciate any help to fix this issue.

          @ronbyram, see the correct answer at the top of the thread:

          https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-update-publish-collection-stalls/idc-p/12752055/page/2#M32412

           

          Reverting to 11.1 works around this bug.

          I still had the same publication issue after dropping back to 11.1 -- constant disk activity, apparently with publication metadata.  But after several very frustrating days, I have things working again.  My issue was with publishing to Smugmug galleries. 

           

          With the Drobo off, so there was no activity, I went to each of my Galleries (about 60) and in Grid view selected all the picturess marked to re-publish and did a Ctrl-click and selected mark as up to date.  I left the few marked still to be published.  Closed LR.  Probably rebooted the computer, just in case, after all that trouble, and re-started the Drobo with LR off.  When I opened LR there was a the same disk activity but this time it quit after about a minute and so far has been working as it should.  I was then able to publish the galleries that had a few images that were never published.  Importing photo shoots (to the Drobo) and the rest of LR is behaving.

          The solution is to open the Creative Cloud desktop app and go to Applications > All Applications. From the Installed list, find Lightroom Classic and click on the three dots at the far right of that row. Select Other Versions, and choose to install Lightroom Classic (11.1). 

           

          Then refrain from further updates until version 11.3 is available.

            Have you tried unmounting the Drobo drive? If case you're not familiar here
            is the process:


            1. - In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, select the disk set that you
            want to unmount in the sidebar.
            2. - Click the Unmount button in the toolbar or beside the disk set name.
            3. - Disconnect the disk member that you want to unmount.
            4.
