P: Cannot access Auto Import Settings from File menu

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

After installing 2015.8, I can no longer access Auto Import Settings from the File menu.  Is this a new bug?

Just registering a 'me too'. Mac Sierra 10.12.3. LR2015.8.

me too - same problem, on PC

Edited: Adobe released Lightroom 6.9/CC2015.9 today.

This issue should be corrected in this release. 

We are continuing to look into this issue as it does not appear that the correction worked for everyone.

Thank you for your patience.

Got excited there for a moment!!! Downloaded and installed the CC2015.9 updated and..... still the same, so I am stuck using a external import suite and still paying for this subscription of LR that is frankly unusable and pointless to us. I probably will NOT be renewing subscription as this hasn't worked for months now. How totally frustrating..

I was hoping today's release (2015.9) would fix this, but so far no go, at least for me. Same "Unexpected error performing command..."

[AntonioEdwardo]

Not fixed for me. Could there be another step involved in fixing our catalogs, like export/import or something?

Have/had the problem, too.
Now with 2015.9:
it seems to be fixed after creating a new, empty catalogue :)
it is still NOT fixed for my existing catalogue 😞

It worked for new catalogues in CC2015.8 as well but not ones created with earlier versions and I recall became broken on that update. Adobe need to release a patch instead of waiting until there are enough new cameras to warrant an actual update.

I think the advance is, that new catalogues will keep working now (at least for the time as I have tested this here).
But I fully agree with all others, that it needs a patch to heal corrupted existing catalogues.

Thank you for the quick responses. I have been communicating with the programmers and they are asking if someone in this thread can provide a catalog copy that continues to exhibit the problem after the 6.9/CC2015.9 update. Can anyone provide a copy of their catalog for examination?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Would be happy too but mine is massive and contains images I would rather not share. If I can trim it down would that do?

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

Images and previews are not necessary - Just the LRCAT file. How big is it?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I'd have one with 300 MB. I will upload it to my server, then I will send you a link.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Hi, 608.1Mb and has nearly everything smart previewed does that mean the images are included?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Installed the update.  Problem still exists on catalogue.  Cannot access settings. Any suggestions?

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

Harald, 

I will contact you via email for the link.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Sorry - that was a stupid question!! of course there are no smart previews.

OK where do you want it sent ??

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I can send you mine.  It is about 271 MB, and just full of product shots.  I had already sent it to Victoria Brampton so she could see the problem and she advised she had sent it on to Adobe.  Before this update I created a new catalogue and merged it with the old one. Same problem. I'm not really keen not doing that again. Please advise

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Oops, I see Harald is sending you his.  Jost let me know if you want mine too. No problem; I can put it in Dropbox.

B Fields, 

Your catalog was used to verify the bug and subsequently test it. I don't think we need another copy from you. 

Steve Fuller,

Stand by. I will ping you if I need yours.

I have provided a download link to Rikk. Hope it helps 🙂

I still have the problem.
