Question

Lightroom Classic stalled

Hello,

I just upgraded Lr Classic to 12.1. It offered the possibility to rewrite a new catalog, which I did.

Result, the software is extremely slow now ; if I want to delete a file it slows down and takes 3 minutes to display the option of deleting the file in the catalog or on the HD!

I tried "optomization" of the catalog, and it stalls the software, even when I quit the process of optimization.

It runs so slow now.

Any solution ? Thanks

Quit Lightroom Classic.
macOS: Press and hold the Shift + Option keys.
Windows: Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys.
While holding down the keys, launch Lightroom Classic.
When asked, select "Yes".

Thank you for your answer ; I didn't need to do this yet ! I read somewhere in a forum that sometimes de videos files would create a problem for Lightroom Classic; So I put away the few video files that I had just imported (and also the jpeg files from Raws), in another folder, rebooted, and everything seems to have gone back to normal !

Maybe I was lucky, but anyway, since the latest update, it feels Lightroom classic is a bit sluggish at time....

I'll keep watching ! Thanx anyway
