When exporting originals + edits, the files are saved on the external hard drive, but the progress bar doesn"t update. It keeps saying 0/115 (total number of photos to be exported)

Can you provide a little more information about your system? What version number of Lightroom, what OS and version are you using? Can you provide a screen shot of the esport in progress to demonstrate this?

 

Does the process eventuially complete? Or do you get stuck on the process bar and have to cancel to get out of it?

I am running OS Tahoe 26.1 on an Apple M5, LR 9.0. The progress bar stays empty and the number of completed exports stays 0 throughout the process. All files DO GET exported and the progress bar with numbers disappear after all photos have been exported. I don’t have a screen shot. I would have to replicate it. I probably will batch process more later in the week. I can send then.

So the exporting itself runs just fine, only the progress doesn’t update during the process.

Thanks for the information! We have just released Lightroom version 9.1. Whenever you have some time, try updating the app and exporting a batch of images. 

Please let us know if you observe the same behavior. 


Thanks,
