tasks

Somehow I made the merge function a task and cannot figure out how to undo it.   I photo merge and get the message "photo merge added to tasks".

I do not see a merge anywhere

How do I undo this??

Could it be your system is extremely busy and what you are asking LR to do has to wait for the system to catch up.

Personally I have never seen any option or message about adding any function in LR as a Task.

LR does call a merge a task so how many do you have working when this message comes up.

Current tasks can be viewed just under the identity plate.

precisely,  but here I am with LR adding the merge as a task

[txstbobcat]

oh, there are no tasks  under the identity plate.  why i am baffled

The photomerge is listed as a task with a progress bar while Lightroom is performing the merge. Once the merge is complete the task is complete and and the task ends. The photomerge doesn't show up in the history for the merged image because it is a new image that was created from the photomerge task which has now ended.

Is this a Lightroom question?

I WAS running into the same problem.

After executing a merge, I'd to get the same message telling me "photo merge added to tasks".  Thereafter, I was unable to find the merged .dng file.  After banging my head on the table for a while I scrolled to the end of the library folder where I found multiple copies of the merged .dng files.

Before the shakeup, the merged .dng file was saved in a location immediately following the un-merged .dng files. Now, it appears they're being saved as new additions at the end of the library folder.

Now, I want to know how I can make the merged files appear where they did before Adobe made everything better!

Set the Sort: (Order) to Capture Time.

There is a bug in LR C CC 7.1 that somehow keeps changing the sort to Added Order. Which puts any new images created through a merge or export or Edit In to the end of the film strip and grid view.
