Import from Aperture library fail

  • October 4, 2018

When importing an Aperture library into Lightroom Classic the import stops after importing approximately 4096 images (2^12 seems to be more than a coincidence). If I stop the import it still sits there with 4094-4098 active threads, so it looks like the thread is not completing after importing each image. I then have to force quit Lightroom. Restarting the process it will eventually get back to where it left off and import another 4096 images. My import is into its 2nd week!

    Hi Mickt,

    Sorry to hear about the import issue, could you please let us know which exact version of Lightroom you're working on and which operating system are you using?


    Could you try creating a new test catalog in Lightroom and then try importing the images from Aperture and let us know if it works?
    If it works then you can merge the new catalog with the existing one in Lightroom.

    Hi Sahil,

    Adobe Lightroom Classic [1186149]

    macOS 10.13.6

    I started from scratch a week ago with a new install, added about 20 images from a camera, then started the import.

    At this moment Lightroom has 2,582 threads, I know it will stop in about 1.5 hrs when it hits 4,096 threads.

    Hi mickt,

    Thanks for the update. Could you please update Lightroom Classic CC to 8.0 version and check if that helps.
