Have a moderately large catalog (~150K images) running on M1 Mac Mini, 16gb ram. Since upgrading to Classic v13.4, deleting files takes an absurdly long time. Select a file, hit "Remove Selected Photo..." and the progress bar shows "Gathering Information". This can go on for a minute or two until the final dialog box to remove the image comes up. I've optimized the catalog with no change. LR has never been a rocket but I've found more than usable. Until now. Anyone run into this too?
How much free space is left on the disk where the catalog is stored?
When you try to do this delete, does the Mac activity monitor show any particular element of the computer is working at or near 100%?
Try temporarily disabling your anti-virus, see if the problem improves
Also please tell us the version NUMBER of your Lightroom Classic and the version NUMBER of your operating system. We need version NUMBER and not words like "up-to-date" or "latest".
Hi, yes I'm getting exactly this too. It can go on for several minutes waiting, even just to delete 1 file. I'm using lightroom classic v 13.4 on a windows 11 home premium, microsoft surface studio pro laptop, 32gig ram, 1T internal SSD, Geforce RTX 3050. Syncing isn't working either, it's getting stuck (with no errors showing) and the files on my ios device just don't sync correctly. It's an absolute mess at the moment! Any help would be very much appreciated.
The solution I found was to create an entirely new catalog then import the images from the old one. This is messy... it wreaked havoc with syncing files with SmugMug library but it did eliminate the initial issue of slow response times. -- Oscar Masciandaro 908 531-1970 <> http://www.oscarmasciandaro.com
