P: Update Publish Collection Stalls

[pierrec14918490]

Mac OSX 12.01, Apple Silicon M1

LightRoom Classic 11.2

After upgrade from 11.1 updating any published collections (to disk) is very slow and gets stuck.  One or 2 get published, then progress stalls

Re-installing 11.1 solves the problem.

@LauraMacky, the workarounds here help most people:

Your description of the problem is spot on.  I don't have the computer skills to fix it the way you suggest.   Hopefully the boys and girls at Adobe are working on this...

"Hopefully the boys and girls at Adobe are working on this..."

In the answer marked Correct at the very top of this thread, Adobe employee Rikk Flohr wrote, "The team has identified the issue and implemented a fix." So it seems reasonable to expect that the next version of LR, 11.3, will contain the fix.  LR releases about every weeks, so we might expect to see 11.3 released in the next week or two.

"I don't have the computer skills to fix it the way you suggest."

That same Correct answer also has a very easy workaround: "Clicking on any standard Collection and then pausing for a moment will clear the error and the Publish Collection should finish publishing."

You can also easily roll back from version 11.2 to 11.1, with no more computer skills than required to install LR in the first place:

After my update Publishing to Flickr (which is part of my workflow) doesn't work anymore. The program publishes exactly one Photo and then doesn't proceed and the 'Updating published Collections' seems not to move forward.

Version: 11.2 Lightroom classic

Platform: MacOS, Big Sur 11.6

Any suggestions? I've looked for the bug, some post from 2019, but no solution that helped.

Only solution for me is to terminate Lightroom, publish again, and repeat process for 50 or more photo's obviously doesn't work for me.

updated to 11.3 and the issue with publishing is still not resolved.  It took me 3 attempts to republish a folder of 64 images.  It did it eventually but was so slow.  Then tried to save metadata to files for 1000 images and the command wouldn't run.

I've just updated to 11.3 and republished 30 images without any problems.

Anyone at Adobe working on a fix for the Lightroom Classic publishing to Pixieset issue? Lightroom only publishes one image, then hangs. Have to stop the publish function, quit Lightroom, and restart the app and process. Not very efficient. Very annoying.

[KR Seals]

This information would be helpful, especially your Operating system and version of LrC.

[johnrellis]

"Lightroom only publishes one image, then hangs"

This bug (across all publishing services) was fixed in LR 11.3. Do Help > System Info -- if you don't have 11.3 installed, do Help > Updates.  (Adobe just released 11.3.1.) 

If this doesn't help, please provide the information highlighted by KR Seals.

Sorry to hear you are having that problem. There was a similar post on this forum recently. Try searching for "pixieset".

I have a friend who just told me today that she used PixieSet in LrC to publish her first album and was extremely happy with how well and simple it worked. She is on an Intel iMac (Monterey)and LrC 11.2. I helped her install the Pixieset plugin last week so I'm assuming she is on the latest version.

I see others are having the same issue, still. However, I have a friend who just told me today that she used PixieSet in LrC to publish her first album and was extremely happy with how well and simple it worked. She is on an Intel iMac (Monterey 12.3.1) and LrC 11.2. I helped her install the Pixieset plugin last week so I'm assuming she is on the latest version.
