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

      All ​@Srishti Bali 

      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.

      1. 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.

              I am having the same issue except the export to previous no longer works the only way I can export is by manually going through the export steps. so I can not set up sequential exports each one is done individually. Which is a pain when you are exporting about a 1000 shots into pixieset

                    I recently upgraded lightroom cc and now the command+E keyboard shortcut to export photos no longer works. suspiciously, the menu entries in the file menu for the application are disabled, as shown in the attached screenshot. what's going on?
