    I tried exporting two different presets of the same pictures to different folders. I get a message saying "preparing to export" which was still on the screen after the export was done. The dialog never disapears.  Any solution?

    Hi christiand91900472, 

     

    Sorry to hear you're running into this issue. Does this happen with every multi-batch export or intermittently? Does it happen if you try more than two presets? Can you share a screenshot of your preset?

    This is completely useless - it totally broke my export workflow.
    I'm a concert photgrapher and my export is to a new folder for each concert, with customized file names including the artists name.

    I have several presets for different resoultions and watermarks.
    To use a preset I will have to change the export location to "Choose folder later" - and when doing the actual export I have to create the folder BEFORE I do the export. How cumbersome is that!
    And my customized filename is completely ignored, leaving me with just the base filename.

    I can no longer use my presets and have to manually configure the export settings every time I want to export something.

    Don't you ever test functionality on real users before dumping it out?

        It seems interesting, but I suggest to improve this concept and evaluate to add the possibility to scedule the export and create and "export queue" that I can start "later".
        Moreover is posible to evaluate and "Export manager" (like the media encoder in Premiere) that receive from lightroom all the export job and I can manage whet start and pause.
