I’m still having this issue and everything is up to date for me. This slows my editing time down by so much and considering I’m editing a lot of other things throughout the day, this means I’m losing money by having to spend more time trying to paste presets onto multiple photos, and it freezing every time. This issue seriously needs to be fixed because it’s so damn annoying. “Fixed”. Yeah okay.

Agree with Joe. This is a major issue, which affects my output time significantly. I am experiencing the spinning wheel on cropping and transforming of images - for upwards of 2-3 minutes, quite regularly. The new version of LR is worse than the previous, so I have just installed the previous version. 

Making it very difficult to remain loyal to Adobe as a professional - especially with alternative applications becoming available. 

What's your response, Adobe?

This is such a joke. This has been a problem (along with many, many others) for multiple versions now. I just deleted a 1500 photo project from Lightroom because it has become beyond frustrating. Can't paste settings to more than 30-40 pictures at a time. Even after going through and doing it manually, I still can't export more than a handful of pictures at a time. The only support we get is "Delete preferences" and then when that doesn't work "Oh, just wait for the next version." What a joke. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. 

I am experiencing this problem as well, on the latest build. It all started when switching to v4. Sometimes when I paste settings to more than 10-20 photos, the progress bar gets stuck towards the end and only an app restart will fix this.

This is a Lightroom Desktop 4.1 Thread. You will need to repost on a new thread for Lightroom Classic.

Thanks

Just updated LR Classic to v10.1.1 and now the spinning wheel issue is back when I am using the transform tools - primarily the Guided correction tool. 

SO FRUSTRATING! 

Is there an update on when this issue might be resolved? 

It seems the crash you've posted is unrelated to the paste hang - which is a known issue scheduled for fix in an upcoming release. 

Have done the above, and the problem still persists. Process of pasting setting freezes after 10-50 photos on average.
