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

            Could we please have an update on this issue being resolved.  I would also like a refund for this month’s fees and not be charged until the problem is fully resolved.  It is a key feature and highly problematic.

                Hey all! ​@Jessica5E81, ​@Patman Droneography, ​@benm90715678, ​@Rebecca_Poole6624, ​@Niall5EF3​​& ​@Brittney_B.

                At this point, we’ve been unable to reproduce the issues, and given the growing number of reports, we want to investigate this further. 
                Please share more details about your workflow and the system info from Lightroom. Go to Help > System info, copy and paste it into a text document, then upload and attach it here along with a few screenshots or a short or detailed video that shows your edit & export process. 

                 

                Thanks!

                  Hi. Thanks for this. 

                  I’ve included the systems info in the attached.

                  In terms of screenshots, it’s pretty straightforward:

                  • I have a bunch of RAW ARW files from a Sony A7 III uploaded to a sub folder in the default “my pictures” folder.
                  • When selecting export with previous settings, nothing happens.
                  • No file is created anywhere on my computer
                  • The progress bar does not appear
                  • This happens for any format that I want - PNG or JPEG.

                   

                  The only way to export a file is via shift+e and then going through the initial export process. This is obviously much more time consuming.

                    Hi Sameer,

                    I have the same problem. The file details disappear each time. I’ve screen-recorded this - second time round you see the file name switch from the name I’d given to “Untitled”

                    Export using Previous Settings: nothing happens at all.

                    Thanks for your help. I’m happy to supply any more details needed.

                        I’m having the same problem. I just updated today and it just randomly started not exporting with previous settings.

                          The same thing is happening to me, I can export photos… but only one at a time. Unable to export with previous settings” and have to manually export each photo and rename every single export.

                            Hey, ​@magnusphotos. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more information to help you figure this out.

                             

                            What troubleshooting steps have you tried already? Is updating the macOS possible for you? If yes, please do, as we can’t recreate this on the current public version of macOS v26.3.

                            Please share more details about your workflow and the system info from Lightroom. Go to Help > System info, copy and paste it into a text document, then upload and attach it here along with a few screenshots or a short video. 

                             

                            Thanks!

                            “Export with Previous...” in Lightroom no longer works. It stopped working with this newest version (9.2), on MacOS 15.7.4. I’ve used it for years, through the command-E shortcut. Now the shortcut does nothing, and selecting it in the File menu also does nothing.

                            Probably unrelated, but using the tab key to navigate the Info panel (to fill out the location info) also stopped working in version 9.2.
