I had 547 photos in a collection. I tried to export to the desktop in a subfolder. 160 photos did not export. Could it be a problem with naming of photos? These photos were from many different shoots put into a collection. Not sure what to do next,

Thanks

Could it be a problem with naming of photos?

Unlikely, but ... please tell us the file name of one of these photos (if you are renaming the photos at export, what is the original file name and the re-named file name).

More investigation will be needed to arrive at an answer!

What Version of Lightroom-Classic?

What version of the Mac OS?

Where are you Exporting to? (More detail)

Does the destination folder have full Read/Write permissions? (I have read that some Macs do not allow writing to desktop.)

Is there sufficient space on the Destination drive?

Are there many files on your Desktop?

Are all the 547 photos available? ie. Are there any shown as "Missing" images with the ! mark?

Are any of the photos only shown as a 'Smart Preview' in the library?

Are you 'Renaming' in the Export dialog (to prevent duplicate filename problems)?

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

Hi: I will answer your questions first, but am now having more issues...

LRC 11.4.1 (i have the subscription)

Mac OS Monterey 12.5

I was exporting to a file on the desktop

All photos available..

Not sure about smart previews but dont think so

I had originally tried sending the file from a collection...yesterday, I tried taking the original folder of 617 photos and 510 did not export (see attached)

Now I cannot get LRC to open. Seems that since the last two apple updates LRC has had issues. I was getting the message that could not open catalog because something else using it. Researched and found the "locked" catalog file.

Removed and it worked for a while. Same has happened several times. Opened in safe mode this am ad deleted a locked file but last time I tried to open, got the corrupted catalog message...but still just stayed on the open page...This all has happened several times. It will work for a while then gets hung up..Not sure if an apple issue or what.

I'm really frustrated.

Thanks

Might you be having a hardware (disk drive) failure? Is your HDD getting too full?
