No Export after update

[dagmarg18772262]

After I updated Lightroom classik today (now version 8.3), I can no longer export an image: No matter which folder on the most diverse hard drives, the message comes: The specified folder is write-gun.

hmm, some of the above are talking about the issue occurring when the destination is a networked folder. Recommend that if you share this as an issue over at the Adobe feedback site, that you include info on where you are attempting to export the files to.

Lightroom Classic | Photoshop Family Customer Community

Oh, I see that at least one problem , this one specific to 8.3 export to network drive failure has been started

Lightroom Classic 8.3: Issues exporting photos to a Network Drive | Photoshop Family Customer Commun...

Anyone with itch the same problem should go to that site and add to that.

I do not see one specific to exporting to a local hard drive, if that is your problem, you should create a problem at Lightroom Classic | Photoshop Family Customer Community

My Export profiles have not changed from the previous release. Everything was working fine on 8.2. The issue was introduced on this latest update. It has nothing to do with permissions or issues on my network drives. I can still write to it in Windows just fine from any app. Even Lightroom writes to it just fine when it is a subfolder.

It's happening to me on any local drive.  It wont write to the root, a folder, a sub folder of any of my drives.  Desktop seems to be the only place to export to.

Hit up Adobe on that as described above, include Lightroom Classic V8.3, Windows 10,  export. and local drive in the description . Include system Information in body, include specific drive export to (internal hard drive C, external hard drive D, whatever)

I've install the update on yesterday evening on a Windows 10 64bit (Build 1809) machine and checked the export to local drive.

Check the export to an existing folder, to a new folder created in Explorer and into an new folder created by Lightroom.

All cases worked without any problems.

Just an idea:

Does anybody have tried to reset the Lightroom preferences to the default settings and/or deactivate the GPU support?

Please inform Adobe of this problem, informing the Forum here doesn't cause anything to improve because we're just users, none of us can fix a bug. The link to inform Adobe has already been given.

This problem has been reported elsewhere as well, see Lightroom Classic 8.3: Issues exporting photos to a Network Drive | Photoshop Family Customer Commun...

So, for my curiosity and as a preventive measure, I got back of my rear end, and launched Lightroom Classic v8.3, exported a file and went into Windows File Explorer to inspect file/system rights and ownership. This on Windows 10.

No surprises on mine.

But to clarify, and to ask a few that are storing to local hard drive, to check (Not a NAS user, and that is a nastier issue) the following

For the folder you are attempting to put the image into (export). In File Explorer, right clcik on the folder (directory. sub-directory, etc) and select properties, select the Security tab, under group or User Names you should see System, your account, Administrators and probably Users, so at least three groups and one user. One at a time looking at Permissions , they should all have full rights, except for Users just have Read & execute, List folder contents, and Read. If you clcik on the Advanced button you should see the same (will similar) , AND second line from top, you should see your account as owner.

This does not talk of shared access like a NAS or actual proper servers.

Any thing missing or added would be problematic. Oh, some might see Guest, personally I remove any possibility of Guest form my computers.

Actually this should be true for any folder your catalog touches.

If I can write to the folder, create a folder, add a file, copy a file all from explorer, then permissions are fine.  If any other app on my PC can also perform the same tasks, and lightroom can't, then it's lightroom, not a permission issue.  Everything worked as it should before the update.  It's also not just 1 folder it can't write to, it's any.  I have 5 drives in my PC.  Are all of them suddenly permission corrupt, or is it the lightroom update.

[jaym19159714]

All others have said, the work around is to select "choose folder later" during export, then I can select any folder I want and export.  If I choose the folder beforehand in export, then it doesn't work.  So If lightroom CAN write to any folder I want IF I select it after exporting, but CAN'T write to it IF I select it beforehand, again, it's a Lightroom bug, not a permission issue.

Je rencontre le même problème depuis la mise à jour hier.
J'ai réussi à contourner le problème :
-Exporter ....
-Exporter vers : Sélectionner le dossier ultérieurement (pratique pour les paramètres prédéfinis)

Et ça fonctionne

SI ça peux vous aider....

Inquiry

When the issue occurs, what Event available in the Event Viewer is created? What does that say? Any more info than what shows up via LR?

[GoldingD]

Inquiry

When you Export using a Selected folder (and it fails) did you select one using the List (just to the left of the Choose Button, or did you clcik on the Choose button?

Hi All,

We're sorry about the trouble caused as some users are unable to export from Lightroom Classic 8.3 as they are getting error message "The specific folder is not writable".

Our Engineering team is tracking this issue. In the meanwhile, there is a workaround we're aware of: (already mentioned and confirmed working by some users)

Please select the option "Choose folder later" for export location and see if the export works.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash Sharma

I have the same problem with every exported plug-ins - for online galleries etc, the problem is general, not only with original export way.

[askoldk38466403]

And in my case - I can not "choose folder later" - the path is determined in each case

[Akash Sharma]

Hi askoldk,

Could you please provide us a screenshot of your Export settings window?

Thanks,

Akash

[askoldk38466403]

I have not "export settings window" - the export settings is recorded in the plugin settings. Now I'm telling only about one plug-in - the most important for me - TTG Publisher. I'm providing all settings windows, maybe it will be useful

I have added the feedback, the help page is not useful for me.

Thank you,

[Hefro]

Thanks but this workaround does not fix the issue working with various plugins.

[GoldingD]

One inquiry that I do not see asked, is, has anyone tried resetting their Preference file

[askoldk38466403]
