LrC 10.4, Windows 10

 

I have a nightly backup of photos and LrC file folders. I've started to notice this file appearing but I have not had any sort of crash

 

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\4\Trace Database.txt

 

The file contents of the latest occurence are 

 

ClipArchiveEntry	1	5
DLIFSequenceRenderSession	1	5
DumpTracks	1	5
DynamicLink	1	5
MCBaseSequence	1	5
MCLayer	1	5
MCLayerPropertyUpdate	1	5
MCMediaCache	1	5
MCPlayer	1	5
MCSequence	1	5
MCStillFrame	1	5
MCSurface	1	5
MCSurface:GetSurfaceBounds	1	5
MCVideo	1	5
MediaCoreIF	1	5
Player.Process	1	5
Player.UpdateVideo	1	5
Wasapi initialization	1	5
dvaaudiodevice	1	5
dynamiclink	1	5
dynamiclink::FileServer	1	5
processcoordination	1	5

 

I can't figure out from this what the, I assume, 'trace' is of. Does anyone if this is something I should be concerned about?

Thanks

It's a configuration file that Adobe engineers can use to enable diagnostic tracing of various components used by LR.  It's present on every LR installation, I believe. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks John. I was concerned something was aborting that I wasn't seeing.
