Lightroom STILL crashing without a crash report when automatic writing metadata to XMP is selected
This specifically IS bugged, and has been for probably a year or two now since I've seen others and me posting about it with no fixes.
The first 4-5 years using LR, never had crashing issues and then random crashes with no crash reports.
I report it to Adobe and just get the response, we don't see a crash report on the account....where I reply, duh, I already told you that......
Then find another post someone pin pointing it to the catalog pref. automatic writing metadata to XMP is the culprit. So I try and turn it off and just manually select all the files and constantly save on my own, and that worked. No crashes.....try turn it back on, instantly either on load up, or after switching every 5-10 photos, crash, no crash report, just as if someone went to task manager and end task.
Again, tell Adobe that.....well we don't see a crash report....again, already stated that, please read the post....
So I keep it off, not a single crash since......then recently see in an update either this last one or the one before last, that Adobe finally addressed an issue with automatic writing metadata to xmp crashes. I didn't trust it because....Adobe.....so I waited. Then today finally thought well I might as well check....
VERY first thing loading up, crash.
When is this issue going to actually be addressed?
Looking this time......it actually shows an Adobe Lightroom crash report.....which is interesting, because nothing popped up, but this is a good sign at least. It says it was sent, so maybe the update at least addressed a no report issue when metadata crashes happen?
Interesting though that it has two reports, one yesterday, which it didn't crash yesterday, and one today 8 hours in the future......and the last one says video toolkit error.......which sounds odd in Lightroom being it's a photo app?
Unless this is a new crash error that very coincidentally happened only when I checked that option back on?
