LcR stops allowing me to add images to a collection?

Question

Import a large number of images (in my case 3639 images and about 6 short videos).
Create Collections
Spend about 1-2 hours dragging images to various collections
Eventually and drag and drop operation from library into a collection no longer works, just get a standard arrow cursor and no image by cursor.
Exit LcR
Bring up Task Manager and notice LcR is still running and using memory (in my case 65GB).
In Task Manager watch the memory usage of LcR executable decrease … for 65GB this took about 5 minutes or so … once memory usage reaches zero the executable will terminate.

Since I have 256GB of RAM there should be no issue with using 65GB in LcR. This appears to be a bug that I can repeat when loading MANY images that consume more than 64GB RAM.

My System Specs:

OS: Windows 11 (10.0.26200)

CPU: AMD 9975WX

Motherboard: ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE

RAM: 256GB ECC RDIMM Vcolor QLC (certified)

GPU: two nVidia 5090 32GB VRAM (drivers 591.86 Studio)

Local Storage: two Samsung 9100 Gen5 4TB NVMe M.2

​@Rob AinscoughWhoaaa….256GB of RAM! Wowza…. I was looking at the new MacBook Pro and I can only top out 128GB of RAM — unless I go to the desktop!Back to your question….Instead of dragging, select your images and use the Target Collection shortcut.Right-click the specific collection you wish to populate and select Set as Target Collection from the menu. Once established, you can select any number of images in the grid and tap the B key to instantly add them to that collection, a method that is significantly more stable for large batches of files than manual dragging. This should speed it up.
