Several seconds to update metadata

Not sure this is a new bug or an issue with my catalogs or both, but after installing v13.5, LRC became very sluggish in several operations. Issues are not constant, they come and go every 5-10 minutes...I made a list:

 

  1. After editing a picture, it takes several seconds to update metadata
  2. When I am in develop module, I can not longer navigate to next or previous image using left or right arrows. I have to switch no library module to do that or click with the mouse in the desired image.
  3. Flagging or scoring images takes sometimes several seconds to show.
  4. Scores sometimes revert to previous score, seconds after changing the score.
  5. Sometimes a photo already edited, its thumbnail appears unedited for several seconds in library, then updates to edited.
  6. Metadata filters in Library take long to show values or filtered pictures.
  7. In Library, selecting light out to dim or off, sometimes does not work until entering develop module.
  8. Almost all operations related to updating metadata are slow.
  9. Both LRC and LR keep syncing all day long, non stop since a week ago.
  10. LRC takes about 30 seconds to close

 

This is what I already tried to fix the issues, nothing worked.

  1. Stopped syncing to cloud.
  2. Stopped write to XMP.
  3. Purged cache (100GB maximum size). This helped for 15 minutes then issues returned.
  4. Optimized catalog.
  5. Tried all combinations of the GPU usage.
  6. Reset preferences.
  7. Uninstall/Reinstall both LRC and LR Mobile/Desktop.
  8. Deleted and recreated all XMP files.
  9. Rebuild sync data.
  10. Using another catalog.
  11. Removed plugins

 

My machine is a Mac Studio M1 Max running on MacOs Sonoma 14.6.1, everything updated to latest version, 64GB of RAM, all files on SSDs (catalog on internal SSD and RAWs/cache on 2 external Samsung T7 SSDs directly plugged via USB-C to machine. All SSDs having more than 50% free space). Apple Studio Display. Catalog has 35K pictures, 800 albums, including mostly Fujifilm RAWs, JPG, HEIC and some TIFFs. I have 4 installed plugins, LR Mogrify 2, JPEGmini, LensTagger EXIF Tool and WP/LR Sync. These plugins have been installed since years ago but issues started just since the introduction of version 13.

Every new update makes things worse, not sure what else I can try. Any recommendations are welcome.

A general inquiry. This related to slow performance in various Library edits.

 

  • How much free space in percent on the hard drive that your catalog is on? Looking for at lest 20%, some say 25%

And an odd inquiry. This one would be more of a suspect on Windows, not MACOS. In your LrC /Help/System Info/, what is shown for the Library Path?

 

Some Windows members accidentally due to Microsoft being a nuisance, sometimes have something like:

 

Library Path: C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom.lrcat

 

Meaning the Cloud is involved, bad. I doubt that a MACOS user has this, but....

Sure, I see the path is local:

Library Path: /Users/username/Pictures/[LR]/LR/LR-v13.lrcat

not sure if the "[ ]" may affect LR?

I am not sure n that. However, if you bring up LrC /Preferences/File Handling/ and look at the File Name Generation, you can treat [ } as illegal (optionally) . Might differ between Windows and MACOS. Might not be an issue at all.

 

But at least you are not keeping that catalog on the cloud or automatically syncing to the cloud (bad)

/Followup/

 

I went ahead and created a folder [LrC] and created a new catalog in it.

 

Library Path: W:\Active Projects\Photography\[LrC]\OddPathTest\OddPathTest.lrcat

 

I do not get that error. So, no, I do not think [] is an issue (at least not in Windows)
