Lightroom Classic: Import Catalog & Export Folder to Catalog fails with unexpected error
I recently returned from a trip where I used my laptop to edit photos using Lightroom Classic. Now I want to import that catalog into my main catalog on my desktop. However, it keeps failing due to an Unexpected Error. I am running V14.2 on Windows 11 with latest updates installed.
I have tried the following:
- Moved the files and the catalog from the laptop onto the desktop.
- Opened the catalog from the laptop and Updated the Folder Location to the new directory
- Checked for missing files. None.
- Backed-up the database & error checked. No problem.
- Tried importing the above catalog into the PC's catalog, but it fails with an unexpected error.
- Exported the folder as a catalog. If I check "Export negative files" and "Include available previews", it fails.
- Exported the folder as a catalog with "Export negative files" and "Include available previews" unchecked, it completes.
- Tried importing the catalog created in step 7, but it also fails.
Any suggestions would be welcome!
