I'm trying to export my keywords list. I did Metadata > Export keywords and I get this message: An internal error has occurred. /Lightroom Keywords.txt: Read-only file system. What does this mean?

I think it means that you selected a folder for "Lightroom Keywords.txt" that is on a read-only drive / volume. Try saving the file to your Desktop.

And from your screen-clip: your photos are marked as "Missing"- That needs to be fixed!

I just checked, LR has Full Disk Access. So do all the Adobe products.

And the photos are not missing, I just didn't have any drives plugged in 🙂

Thank you for your help!

Did you try saving "Lightroom Keywords.txt" to your Desktop?
