Question

LR is deleting previews without explanation

Recently I have issues with previews.  For example - today I built 1:1 previews for a collection of images.  Several hours later, there are no previews while working on the collection, and I have to build them again.

I do have the preview cache limit set to 250GB but my preview size is still arounf 100GB

 

Anyone else recognise this problem?

 

Could it be that when I close the catalogue and choose the 'optimize' option, that somehow the previews are being deleted?

Check your preview settings in the catalog preferences.

Yeah as I stated I have the "Limit Preview Cache Size" set at 250gb

The current size of the preview cache is 100gb.

Any more ideas?

How the settings for the discarding looks like? These are the settings responsible for deleting the previews.
