P: Build Library Previews in the background regardless of their having been visibleOpen for Voting

Hey,   I have really annoying trouble with the speed of loading Lightroom's previews.My System:Macbook Pro M1 Max 32GB RAMMy Camera:Nikon Z7III'm a professional photographer who switched from CaptureOne but Lightroom is starting to annoy me really bad here.I know the filesize of the Nikon's RAWs is hefty but my computer should be capable of dealing with them.My process for each job: Make a new Catalog. Copy the files (mostly around 600-800 photos) to a folder. Import to Lightroom. Create a basic look, copypaste on all images, start making the selection.Whenever I'm in library mode, all the photos that are "in frame" get a preview loaded. Whatever is not in frame keeps the embedded preview until I select the photo or scroll to it in library mode. This is really really annoying for culling photos as there's a LOT of stuttering and loading while going through the photos. I even started using photo mechanics for culling photos when I'm in a hurry because Lightroom lets me down on speed.So I found the option of exchanging the embedded previews with the "real" previews when idle. I checked it and absolutely nothing changes.Why doesn't Lightroom load the previews when importing or when applying the look to all the photos? I'd much rather have a little loading bar on the top left telling me when my previews are rendered. While that my system would be a little bit slowed down finishing that I'd have a workable environment.Capture One does that for example and I think it's the only viable option for professionals.Did I just miss something or is Lightroom simply not able to create previews in the background? Or do I have to manually tell lightroom to reload the previews every time I apply the same look to say 250 photos?Also: When I paste a look with cmd - shift - v, it sometimes takes 2 or 3 times pressing the buttons until it is understood by lightroom I want to paste the settings. This is also really annoying and I think it has to do with Lightroom not having loaded a "real" preview yet and is still in the process of exchanging the embedded preview.Any thoughts on how to fix these issues, Lightroom team? Maybe it's my fault but if not I'll probably swith back to Capture because it's not fit for professional use.Cheers!      

Allow three devices to be used under one subscriptionOpen for Voting

Currently, we are only allowed to have two devices under one CC subscription. This is a policy issue and not a feature issue. i have one dedicated workstation at the office, one dedicated workstation at home, and a high-end laptop for traveling. It's okay to login in/out as there is only one user per subscription, but it is unnecessary waste of time to deactivate my account on one system in order to then activate my account on another system for a period for of time, then deactivate the system to return to one of my other two systems. Adobe will not lose subscription dollars, because this community of three device owners will not pay for another subscription - it's just not worth the extra expense, yet there is customer d-sat/frustration. Please change the rules and allow three devices - you will make many pro customers happier.I have been using Adobe products for 25+ years and I'm loyal to Adobe's products. Please support me and other dedicated users. This sentiment has been in community circles for years - please listen and help. We are not trying to scam the subscription process, and I'm good with only one concurrent user, but we are professionals who have more than two devices. it will take nominal dev effort since you are already tracking two devices to allow a third device. It will be a straightforward solution that will greatly help us with current logistical subscription management. Please make it easier for us. Thank you.
