Hi.

There is a problm with LRC on iMac M1. Using Ventura 13.1 and LRC 12.1
While the catalog is Synching, memory use in the Activity monitor keeps going up for LRC.

I have another catalog that doesnt have synching activated and the problem does not happen. I.ve read other messages that are having the same problem. Is there going to be a bug fic for this problem?

Thanks

Where are you syncing the files from?

 

Does LrC display an alert indicting that you've run out of memory?

 

It would aslo be helpful if you would copy / paste your 'System Info', which can be obtained from the LrC 'Help > System Info' menu item (see below screenshot).

Hi, I'm synching from adobe cloud. The photos were originally downloaded from SD card to iPad, then several folders were created on LRCC so that the synched to my LR cloud account. Then on my desktop the photos synched from the cloud to my hard drive, and that's were the problem, lies. Every time, when synching, the memory usage goes from 5gb up to 50gb and it freezes. Now, I have another catalog on my desktop that does not synch to anything, and it doesn't show the same behavior.

I suspect your running out of memory and don't have sufficient space on your SSD for LrC to use as swap. However, since you haven't included a copy of your System Info or any info on either the size or spare space on the SSD, I can't be sure.
