Question

External Drive Won't Eject AFTER Lightroom quits. Have to shut down Mac after I use Lightroom to safely remove external. Lightroom is the only program that does this.

Something in Lightroom classic keeps thinking the external where I run my library is still needed. Either I force eject or I shut the Mac down and then remove and restart. Not a big deal, just a daily waste of time.
