P: Provide list of images that are being synced in each direction in LrC itself

PROBLEM

Prior to LrC/13.3,  In the Lightroom Sync tab of the Preferences dialog there was a list of images that were in the process of syncing with the Adobe Cloud.  This was removed as of LrC/13.3 when the cloud sync architecture was updated to improve performance and reliability.   

 

However, we are still seeing a large number of situations where numbers of images get stuck in the sync process and just sit there in limbo without change,  Other than being able to see how many images are in process each way, there is no place in LrC to see which images are involved other than a lenghy and complicated process to generate and then decipher a diagnostic report.  In addition it is not clear how to read those diagnostic reports.

 

PROPOSAL

Someplace in LrC itself, please provide a list of the images that are in the process of syncing in each direction.  If possible, inlude which direction they are going and what is being synced (just metadata, full image, etc.)

 

Thanks

"there is no place in LrC to see which images are involved other than a lenghy and complicated process to generate and then decipher a diagnostic report.  In addition it is not clear how to read those diagnostic reports."

 

At least in some cases, LR says "Syncing n photos" but the generated Diagnostic Report indicates no files are getting synced.

@sflinter That's normal for the initial resync for 13.3, so that should sort itself out in time.

I recently migrated to a new laptop, copying over my LrC13.3 catalog files. After starting LrC, I can see that it's syncing 20 photos, then brings that number down to 0. And 30 seconds or so later, it's back at 20. I have no idea as to whether it's the same 20 photos being sync'd, or a different 20 each time. Nor can I see how many photos are in the queue to be sync'd.

 

Real step backward in not being able to see what's happening with the sync process...

Definitely need something.   Currently have 8 listed as syncing that never completes.  And I think its only a few days since I was updated to 13.3.

Agree, should have never been removed, especially with such a flakey new sync.

I still find the concept of posting feature requests for things that have been removed funny...

 

Meanwhile months later IPad users are still waiting on their "feature request" to bring landscape editing back.
