Lightroom Classic 7.2 Issues?

Problems here as well, but in Win 10. Even tried un-installing and then re-installing via creative cloud. Have same issues on Photoshop that I updated the same time. Takes 10 mins to open, in excess of 3 mins to move from slideshow to library; definitely not usable.

Looking at reverting to 7.1 but 7.2 did 'convert' my catalogue, does anyone know if 7.1 would read a 7.2 catalogue, many thanks?

I've got a lot of these issue too on my Surface Pro 4.  Files edited in Photoshop not showing, pop up menus acting very erratically, images sometimes not appearing in loupe view, massive performance issue.  A mess really.

Reverting to 7.1 seems to have sorted everything ^-^

HI

glad to find out that I am not the only one having problems with 7.2 Every time I stop actively using it Lightroom crashes. This can occur several times a day depending on whether I can be bothered to switch it back on again. I send in  crash reports with my comments and email address and I have heard nothing in reply. I must have sent several dozen crash reports by now. And whilst I have been writing this comment 7.2 has crashed again!

Some kind of statement/reply from Adobe would be very welcome. I am getting very fed up!

I am having the same issue, sync freeze,and left to sync. It will crash after a few hours. I was using a Lacie external 2T 110mps speed. hard drive to store my files. I just ordered the Samsung T5,think the transfer speed is the issue.

I'm having similar issues on a very high spec windows machine. Performance is atrocious, so much for the hype surrounding the update. Issues include; very slow library update when moving through catalogue folders, switching to develop module does absolutely nothing, edits in photoshop lost (or rather not added to the library), export doesn't run.

My catalgue exists on an external drive as well, so perhaps that's a common theme.

Forgot to mention - I use fully loaded iMac.  It's not a hardware problem.

So far 7.2 has been an unmitigated disaster.  Slow as hell.  Took two days to optimize.  Import hardly works.  When launched it takes forever to load and even longer to see the (local) disk.  This is the worst update to a product that I have encountered.  Thank god for Capture One, but my main catalog is on lightroom.  I hope Adobe fixes this embarrassing release without delay.

This is my journey with 7.2 to getting it roughly 97% operational.

Mac Pro (2013), 3.5 GHz 6-core, 32GB ram, 2 AMD FirePro D700 6GB Vram, GPU enabled.

Initial 7.1 setup: catalog file on external USB 3 hard drive.

Did the upgrade the first day 7.2 was released. Launched the app and NOTHING. Just sat there and every mouse movement resulted in the spinning wheel of death. Gave up and reinstalled 7.1 so I could finished up some jobs. Even thought the folders on the external drives were "visible" in 7.2, they were all grayed out.

The weekend I remembered that having my Capture One Pro session file worked better in my home/pictures directory, so I made a Lightroom folder and moved the catalog file from the external drive to new folder in Pictures. Upgraded to 7.2 again and this time noticed folders on external drives were visible but I still couldn't really access anything in the folder. I run System Monitor and noted significant CPU activity with Lightroom Classic CC. So I decided to just let it sit and see what happened. About an hour later I checked and for the most part things were working but there was still significant CPU activity with the app. Note that LR 7.2 did not indicate any background activities in progress at the time. Got up the next morning and noted that LR 7.2 had been building previews in the new directory, hence all the activity.

Tested out the new features and for the most part things are faster. Exported 953 Canon 1Dx Mark II raw files converted to 1250x1250 jpegs. Took about 14 minutes.

Why 97%? Today was the first day I got to try file import. When I first clicked Import, saw the message the files were being copied and transferred. HOWEVER, I had not yet selected the source location. I stopped the process (not the app), and clicked import again. Import module launched and I was able to import the files. Didn't not the time it took. Took about 3 minutes to export the files tho.

Bottomline, unlike previous updates (for me anyway), I was not able to update to 7.2 and immediately resume normal ops. My personal observation, LR 7.2 is not friendly to the catalog file being located on an external or network drive.  Everything "seems" to be working fine now, exporting to PS and back, exporting to external drives, editing files, etc. Had the hiccup with import today. Really long for those days when things WORKED the first time

I couldn't take another minute of 7.2 after trying to deal with its unresponsiveness and inexplicable behavior for several days.  Soooo glad to be back on version 7.1.

Same issues for me...

iMac i7 32GB RAM 500GB SSD High Sierra. Catalog on separate external 500GB SSD.

When I upgraded initially it was fine. Whilst creating a subfolder and moving some files it ground to a virtual halt and after that point was basically unusable. After many reboots, reset PRAM, anything else I could think of I downgraded back to 7.1 and all was fine.

Since retried the upgrade and the same unusable system so back to 7.1 again!

First time I've had an issue like this, user of LR since version 4. Rather worrying as I'll need to upgrade at some point (or be forced to switch to another program).
