Of course it's not possible to submit a bug directly to Adobe. 

 

But just in case no one noticed, there is a bug with exporting under macOs and Lightroom Classic.

 

"There was an error opening the file"...

 

reverting back to 13 is the ONLY fix.

Not sure t's a problem with my computer....

 

If so, strange it only affects 13.1+and not any other version of lightroom older than 13.0.

Common logic would say a change was made on Adobe's end.

 

The fix is to stay with 13 and ignore updates cause all it does is break worfklows

It looks like this is an issue that is affecting many users for years. There is zero solutions

Zero feedback from Adobe

Millions of Lightroom Classic users export images every day. If there was a general bug that prevented this, then there would be a tsunami of complaints by now. There isn't, however. I am not saying that there can't possibly be a bug, but if there is, it must be very specific and only manifest itself in very special situations. In order to fix something, Adobe needs to be able to reproduce it first, and that seems to be the problem. You have failed to give even the most basic information, despite a specific request to do so. That won't help fixing this either...

More info required. That's a vague error message. What is the full error message? Any error code?

 

Another possibility is that this is an issue unique to your system.

 

Which exact version of Lightroom Classic?

Which operating system?

What steps do you take to generate the error so others can try and re-produce what you are seeing?

Did this start happening as soon as you installed your current version of LrC?

I do not have any problems exporting images from Lightroom Classic 13.2, nor did I have any problems exporting from Lightroom Classic 13.1 on my Mac. This must be a problem on your computer, not a bug. Does Lightroom Classic have full disk access?
