P: Add the possibility to disable full image preset preview

Do you add more to the test group ?
I am a motorsport photographer and the preview feature has put me to a stop when I have to fast edit images for news sites etc. I think it is a great feature, but I would really like to be able to turn it on and off - depending on where I am in my workflow.

is it too late to sign-up?

I have exactly the same experience as you decribing. Preset previews that are stuck on screen. Its not even a feature with a major design/ user interaction flaw like this. This should be adressed ASAP

It does slow down my process, because every time I hover my mouse over the left preset panel it changes the image or images when batch editing.  And sometimes it leaves the preview showing even though the preset hasn't been selected.  This causes me to have to go back over the left preset menu with my mouse to reset it, and I have to perfectly and slowly move my mouse to the right as not to preview a different preset I've created.  Please take the preset preview away.  I made my presets, I know what they look like, I don't need my hand held when selecting them.

 

I don't want LR thinking, hogging up resources, or doing anything other than what I dictate it to do with an actual click of my mouse.

Since when do we need to vote for stuff that is common sense. With every version Adobe 'officially' releases to its paying customers the performance goes years back.  All we get is alpha and beta quality releases. 

I see full screen previews jumping on my screen when the mouse was hovering over them 1,2 seconds ago. The gpu is turned off.
I'm running my catalogues from 2GB/s pcie flash drives on a quad i7 / 32GB iMac with smart previews. I use a catalogue per project to spread risk and will backup them every 10 minutes because of catalogue corruption which i never had before 7.3.  It's like Adobe tries to make this worser with every update for sport or something.

I cancelled my subscription and exploring alternatives, because i refuse to pay 1 cent for stuff that shouldn't be a release version in the first place. 
Just hit cancel, you can use it anyway untill your renewal date. Just let the Adobe descision makers know how you feel. 

It's obvious that the development resources of Classic are not what professional users deserve.
You want me as a customer next year Adobe? Fix your products or make it free of charge so i can't complain.

Concerning the Question "how would you like to implement this"

Preferable (and in my mind the only logic place) - since it is something which changes the general behaviour - in the preferences. There where I as a user can find all the other general behaviours to influence the general behaviour of LR and computer related tweaks as smart preview use, parallel preview rendering, preview sizes, etc.
(Up to now this is one of the things i really love using LR - one place, where i can set my preferences and no need to search like hell all over the place)

Would be great to disable this feature, as for me it makes not much use. The preset preview in the full image takes as long as to apply the preset and it slows d own my workflow. So please give us the chance to disable it.

Thank you to those of you who volunteered to preview a proposed update to the Preset Preview behavior. You should have received an invitation for access to this at the email address you provided to me in your direct message. 

We look forward to your feedback in the test area on the changes.  

No.

Thanks for the warning Rikk, so far all is well on my Macs.

May we expect that the removal of the .lua will not cripple  the preliminary update when it becomes available?
