?:0: attempt to index field 'rootFile' (a nil value)

[olem40983905]

This issue seems to have been in existence for quite some time - I just had it happening here.
Lightroom Classic 10.3; MacOS 11.4.

Any ideas to get this sorted and get on with a functional library?

On a MAC, what I am referring to below, should have gone away as Logitech no longer support the following on MACOS. maybe that has changed.

Do you have the LogOptions plug-in installed and activated?

Known POS, and often causes that error, especially if you were accomplishing a multi image remove.

This post seems to be gone. What was the solution?

1. Are you getting this EXACT error message, "An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field 'rootFile' (a nil value)"?

2. Are you seeing grey thumbnails in Library Grid view?
