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

      Hi ​@benm90715678, Welcome to the Lightroom Community forum! To better help you with this issue, we would like a few more details. Can you send your system info, a screen recording of the issue, and a numbered list of the exact steps needed to replicate it? You can find your system info by going to Help > System Info, copying and pasting it into a text file, and attaching it here.

      In the meantime, you can try manually resetting your Lightroom Preferences: https://adobe.ly/4o7JADQ.

      Hi ​@Rebecca_Poole6624 

       

      Sorry you’re experiencing this after the update. I know that can be frustrating. To better understand what’s happening, could you please confirm a few details:

      • Which device are you using (Windows, Mac, iPad, etc.)?

      • What Lightroom version are you currently on?

      • When you use “Export with Previous Settings”, does the export complete, or does nothing happen?

      • Are the files saving to the usual folder, or are they not appearing anywhere?

      • Have you recently changed your export location settings?

      • Are you exporting as JPG, TIFF, or another format?

      Once I have this information, I’ll be able to guide you further.

       

      Regards,

      Srishti

        Windows

        9.2 + update 2 dyas ago with the “”Upscale to Gigapixel now available directly in Lightroom” update

        Ctrl+E not working, Clicking on “Export with previous settings” not working everywhere it occurs.  Also Custom name and auto numbering resetting everytime.  Basically many feature with exporting now very problematic or not operating at all.

        Files are saving ONLY when export via manual pathway.  But nothing saves anywhere when try the “previous settings” options.. Does not even display an exporting bar bon the main Lightroom screen.

        My export is the same.

        Exporting using JPG

         

        Thank you,

        Ben

        In addition TAB not orking while in export screen to move between options.  Also need to manually click the “Select folder” button - as hitting Return does not work.  Yet Return functions normally for the “Export photo” button.

          Since updating Lightroom recently, the exporting feature doe not allow for utilising the previous settings.  Whether via the keyboard or withing the screen prompts.  Have also tried creating a new template.  Nothing.  

           

          Also, custome template for exporting resets the auto sequencing numbers.
