P: Does not export all selected images

With Lightroom 6 on Windows 7 I have exactly the same problem as described at http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh...
with Lightroom 5.4.

I select a number of images and use the Export dialog, exporting to JPEG. After the export is finished I get a dialog box saying "Some export operations were not performed. The file could not be opened ()", and then lists the file names of the images that were not exported.

If I delete the exported JPEGs and try again a different subset of the selected images gets exported. On average around 20 out of 70 selected images don't get exported.

Watching the directory where the images are being exported with a file viewer while the export is in progress I can see that the images that are later shown in the "not exported" dialog box list are in fact being created in the target directory but are quickly deleted.

I have had one example of exporting of a single image failing with exactly the same error message.

I have never had this problem with version 5. I just ran an export of 126 images using Lightroom 5.6 which completed successfully, as has always been the case with version 5 and before that with version 4.

    You’ve posted to a very old thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same issue which you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information including system information, a complete description of the problem and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

     

    In the unlikely event the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

     

    Thank you!

    8 years later and I am on the most recent LR CC update and on Windows 10 and this has started happening to me. I definitely have room on this computer... I have closed lightroom and repopened it, deleted and reinstalled it, and it still is not exporitng. If I go one by one to export, it works just fine and has no issues exporting the photo that lightroom couldn't export before. This is not sustainable and I cannot figure out why this is happening or how to resolve it.

      Stacks must be Unstacked in order for operations to affect the images.  Print, Export, Metadata changes etc will only work when the images are visible in the Grid. When they stack is collapsed, only the top image is acted upon.

        i just noticed that lightroom does not exported all the image, and leaved the virtal copy behind 😐 6.5.1
        i previously i took lot of photo for many unknown people, i never noticed it, but today i notice that when i close/collapse a group of virtual copies, which i do all the time, lightroom leave the image under that group, when it get selected, behind 😐 and its the worse thing i just noticed, so it mean i have too many lost images, that i didn't ever deliver, or in my collection :@

          No need to apologize -- this forum isn't the easiest in which to find things, to say the least.

          "I have 6.1.1 and during a large export Lightroom still shuts down. In fact sometimes I get a blue screen of death"

          Those are much different symptoms than the problem reported and solved in this thread, in which the export completes with a dialog box saying "Some export operations were not performed."

          This topic discusses the a more general problem of LR actually crashing (exiting abnormally) when exporting: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh.... Adobe is actively working on a next release to fix all the serious issues reported with CC 2015.2 / 6.2.

          "Problem was actual for 6.0 version."

          If you decide to upgrade, do not upgrade to 2015.2.1 / 6.2.1 -- it's plagued with problems, and even Adobe suggests downgrading to 2015.1.1 / 6.1.1 if you encounter serious problems. See here for how to install 2015.1.1: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-...
