Ich habe in der Lightroom Classic Bibliothek weniger Speicher zur Verfügung als mein Mac anzeigt.

Kataloge wurden aktualisiert und alte gelöscht, alle Fotos auf externe Speichermittel gespeichert.

Doch Lightroom zeigt mir nur 20 % freien Speicher an, obwohl 80 % tatsächlich auf dem Mac frei sind.

Was ist da los? DANKE Anita

Translation to English

 

I have less memory available in the Lightroom Classic library than my Mac shows.

Catalogs were updated and old ones deleted, all photos were stored on external storage devices.

But Lightroom only shows me 20% free memory, even though 80% is actually free on the Mac.

What's going on? THANK YOU Anita 

 

I do not understand. Where does Lightroom Classic show memory? Please show us a screen capture. Use the "Insert Photos" icon to include your screen capture in your reply. Do NOT attach files.

This is not memory, this is disk space. It means that your photos on the take up 80% of the space on the disk. That seems like a lot for 1,147 photos, but that's what it means. I suppose it is a possibility that the numbers shown by LrC is wrong, but I can't conclude that just based on what I see here. (If some of the photos are actually long videos, then I could see how that would take up a lot of disk space).
