Question

P. Export dialog - specific settings creates unwanted stack

  • September 3, 2022

Hello, I use FILE, EXPORT to export a single photo from Lightroom Classic to the same folder, I de-select  ADD TO BATCH, but I keep ADD TO CATALOG. I want original and export version side-by-side.

Now, when I use the command on another single photo, the unwanted happens:

When I use again FILE, EXPORT, the option ADD TO BATCH is active again, even though I had turned it off before; so I have to turn it off again.

Using EXPORT WITH PREVIOUS SETTINGS, a batch is created again, even though I had turned off batching previously.

 

This is a nuisance. I know how to unbatch 1 or many batches in Grid View. But how do I stop Lightroom from batching while using EXPORT WITH PREVIOUS SETTINGS?

 

Thanks!

    The deselect Stack is not sticky.

    LrC 11.5

    macOS 11.6.8

    Steps to reproduce.

    1. Select image file > Export, in the dialog box Export location select, Add to this Catalog, Add to Stack is automatically selected. Deselect Add to Stack.

    2. Proceed and export work fine.

    3. Select another image and proceed as previously and the dialog box shows Add to Stack selected. To proceed you now have to manually deselect Add to Stack.

     

    Expected result: The deselect option should remain sticky.

    Actual result: Add to Stack automatically returns.

    Second Issue.

    Do the initial export as described with Add to Stack deselect then from the menu select file > Export with Previous and the export proceeds, without a dialog popup, the image gets Stacked.

    Expected Result: The image should not be Stacked.

    Actual Result: The image is incorrectly stacked.

        @GoldingD , Bob Somrak, I am not sure if this is a bug or if it as designed when adding to the same folder as the original, and select add to the Catalog the Stack gets automatically selected. There is an option to deselect the Stack but it just appears to return to default which is selected.

        I have never used the option “Export with previous” I always use Export and deselect the stack if that's what I wish

        To wit the Stack option is not even available unless the Add to this Catalog is selected.

         

        P.S. I experience the same behavior on my wife’s PC running Win 11.

        If not a Bug than a poor design.  What logical reason would it turn back on if you have turned it off.

        Add to stack bug in export dialog

        I agree, I can reproduce. The export screen does not honor unchecking Add to stack, in previous export.

         

        Can the Author:

        1. Rename the title of this problem
        2. Edit the original post, striking out Batch and typing in Stack

         

        Then, can the ADMINS move this to Bugs

        Followup

         

        Ok, so as to the button BATCH. this shows up if you select multiple presets

         

        So, deselect the multiple presets.

        Dear all, thanks for trying to help!

        I apologize! As mentioned, i had self-translated back into English from a localized version. But my translation "BATCH" was very misleading (as i realize now). The command that irks me is actually called

         

        ADD TO STACK.

         

        Even when i un-check ADD TO STACK, the command will still be

        - checked next time

        - used when clicking EXPORT WITH PREVIOUS.

        I apologize again for creating confusing and for not checking more properly for the correct English wording.

         

         

        My question is, how can i use EXPORT WITH PREVIOUS to original folder without original + exported version getting stacked. It seems impossible.

        This happens to me too.  I would call this a BUG or at least a poor design.

        Just a hint! The last option in the export dialog "Post Processing", maybe the Author has something set up there. I normally choose to "Do Nothing". I have no idea what "Go to Export Actions Folder Now" is used for.

        P.S. See the link for additional information.

        I don't see an Add to Batch.  What specifically are you talking about.  As this is an English Translation maybe a screen shot would be helpful.
