I just did an update with my Lightroom Lr (cloud) and now I am having trouble with my exports. I want to set a custom name and have the number sequence after one and other by using "export with previous settings" but its not working I don't know where they are going. I have to do a reset with every image I export. Please help

I am also having this exact issue. I’m using the most current version of Lightroom, on Windows. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just adding myself to the list of the affected. Lr 9.2 on macOS here… tried resetting Lr preferences on start up (option-shift Lr) and it didn't make a difference. Cmd-E does nothing at all. When selecting "Export with previous" from either the share button or the File menu the same thing happens: nothing at all.

In Lightroom when I export a photo, I go to Custom file name and enter what I want the series of photos to be called. Then as I export each one, Lightroom no longer remembers the custom name. I have to enter this each time I export a photo

Please note this can be *temporarily* fixed by Opening Lightroom whilst resetting Preferences.

(To reset Lightroom Classic preferences, hold down Alt+Shift (Windows) or Opt+Shift (macOS) while launching the application).

However,

1) This will reset ALL of your preferences which is a pain.

I’ve done this before and some time later it stopped working again.

As with all the other reports the ‘Export with Previous’ was broken with the latest release. When you click (Command E) or File Export with Previous nothing happens.

Not having export with previous is a huge inconvenience as you have to resort to using Export and changing the file name etc each time.

I’ve attached my text Sys Info file as per request.

I am having the same problem. It is inconvenient, but the only workaround I have found is to export with the original file name and then batch rename them after all are done in finder.

I am also having export issues on Mac/Lightroom v 9.2 since the update. Before the update, Lightroom saved the file name I used for the previous export, so when I did the next in my series i just had to change the number by one (yes I realize I could do the sequence as well). I am not forced to type it in with every export and keep track of the last number i used. I also tried the sequence or export with previous and nothing I am doing seems to work. Every time I go to export a photo it says “untitled”. And export with previous doesn’t do anything, at least lightroom doesn’t appear to be taking action and no files show up in the folder I have been using. Please fix

i came on only to say this is happening to me too. Wanting to raise it to the support team who i’m sure are working towards the fix, but it’s important to so many of us.
