Publish and export so slow it almost isn't happening.

[Tommysan62]

Since installing LTR Classic v.13.1 my exort takes forever or just doesn't happen, Publishing to SmugMug took 5 hours to publish 43 images. 390 Mbps up. Just starting LR Classic can take 5 minutes.

Can I go back to v. 12?

Can I go back to v. 12?

By @Tommysan62

You can, but only by using your old catalog again. V12 will not read a version 13 catalog. In the CC App, click on the three dots next to the Open button and select 'Other versions'.

Out of curiosity I tried exporting images that are on my Drobo and they exported just fine, then I tried exporting photos that are on a USB connected SSD and they exported just fine. But the images on my M.2 card will not export

In LrC, in the Library module, over in the Folders Panel, select the drive, the folder those images (on the m.2 drive) are on. Have grid view selected, and the filmstrip, the navigator pane, and the histogram showing. Take a screenshot of that and post in a reply. (please)

Thank you. That screenshot eliminates my assumption. All looks fine.

Try a test.

1. Create a new catalog
2. Import some photos, place those photos on that M.2 Drive
3. The try a export.

One note, the Smugmug issue. Basically using the publish service involves exporting. So that issue with exporting from the M.2 could be what is fouling Smugmug up.

Thank you. New Catalog is working as you would expect.
