P: Delay after selecting Export

[Potyike]

Hey guys !

After the latest update, I'm facing a rather annoying problem. After I do all my export settings and press EXPORT Button, LR seems to time out for a couple of minutes (and don't respond) until it starts the export. After that the export time is quick as usual ! 

LR Classic ver 12

MacOS Monterey 12,6

Hello comunity,

I upgraded yesterday to Lightroom Classic v12 and export isn't slow but starting export is very slow. It takes from 20 to 30 seconds to start exporting only 1 image. (when previously it started with no lag). I mean starting the process and not the export in it self.

Anybody had this?

Thanks,

D.

I have the same issue for the import of files.
File transfer is slow from a local harddisk (SSD) to the NAS and then for 20 - 30 seconds nothing happens before the import of the files from the NAS starts. The import of the files is very slow too.
Same issue happens with 11.4.1 earlier.
MacOS 12.6, macMini M1 with 16GB ram.

I have a Mac Studio Ultra with 128gb RAM

As a troubleshooting step, try setting the option Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor  to Custom and then unchecking Use GPU For Export -- do you get similar delays?

[Norbert Bazin]

Disabling of GPU sppeded up my import process. 
I will make some additional tests with different settings of GPU support

@John R Ellis Thanks for this very helpful information.

[devilla.mac]

Done that, no change.

[devilla.mac]

Thanks, but should't this be in the "Bugs" section? 

[John R Ellis]

@Norbert Bazin, please do the menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here. That will let us see the precise hardware and driver versions.

"But should't this be in the "Bugs" section?"

Adobe reserves the Bugs section for issues that can be reliably reproduced by their development team or that have many people reporting the same symptoms -- if it can't be reproduced or just a few people have reported it, then the post will get moved soon enough back to Discussions.   That's why it's important to consolidate all the threads and gather information like Help > System Info.

Is there a way to go back to LrC 11? It's impossible to work like this.

Thanks.

[Norbert Bazin]

From my knowlege you could reinstall Version 11 and use your not convertet catalog.

[Norbert Bazin]

As you have the GPU support still enabled could to try it with GPU disabled for all.

[devilla.mac]

I did but nothing changed so I set it back to default. I just dowgraded to LeC 11 and all works fine now. Will we be notiofied here when they fix the problem @John R Ellis ?

Bonjour, depuis l´installation de la version 12 de LRC - Windows 11, j´ai un problème récurrent au moment de l´exportation de la photo. Aucune lenteur durant le développement. A l´exportation, la fenêtre des paramètres s´ouvre normalement, cliquant OK : rien ne se passe. Après une minute, l´exportation se réalise normalement. Ceci que ce soit fichier RAW ou JPEG, 1 foto ou 10, petite ou grande, quel que soit le format ou la taille, dans les paramètres je ne sollicite aucune modification, tout est désactivé pour voir si cela change quelque chose : RIEN ne change sur ce pb. Si je clique une nouvelle fois pensant que le programme n´a pas enregistré l´exportation : s´affiche "programme ne répond plus", attendre ou arrêter le programme. Je n´ai aucun problème de mémoire, puisque pendant ce temps je peux travailler sur autre chose, je constate que LRC prend plus ou moins 23 á 25% de la mémoire dans cette phase. Comme je n´ai jamais eu ce problème depuis 7 á 8 ans chez ADOBe, je pense plutôt à un bug.  Quelqu´un connaît ce phénomène ? existe-t-il une solution ?  Merci d´avance.

"Will we be notified here when they fix the problem"

Unfortunately, probably not, unless Adobe converts this thread to a bug report (i.e. it's discovered how to reproduce the problem on more configurations or many more people report it).  I can only suggest paying attention to the Creative Cloud notifications when you run LR that a new release is available and then checking the release notes.  The release notes at LightroomQueen.com are much easier to read and usually more comprehensive than Adobe's marketing blurbs.

[John R Ellis]

It's just a sample size of 2, but you're both on Mac OS 12.6 with M1s.

[JP Hess]

I'm using LrC to Version 12 on Windows 11 and do not experience what you are describing. My only suggestion would be to check your export options and ensure that the final option specifies "Do Nothing" or the French equivalent. Sorry that I don't have any better ideas.

A couple others have reported similar symptoms. Initial troubleshooting steps:

1. Do the menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here. That will let us see the precise hardware and driver versions.

2. As a troubleshooting step, try setting the option Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor  to Custom and then unchecking Use GPU For Export -- do you get similar delays?
