Scenario:
- Set a Very Large Export going. (Go do a lot of other things, secure in the knowledge that your export is working, because you saw it start successfully)
- Come back HOURS later to find that it stopped, with a message "Sign out of Lightroom? There is a task running". I selected Cancel rather than Okay
- Rather than Cancel the Signing Out of Lightroom, LR just closed anyways.
- I am now going to miss today's deadline because I have to re-start the Very Large Export. Thanks. But I need to get this done, so I run LR again
- I am now presented with a "Sign In" dialog, complete with 2-factor authorization. This part isn't surprising, since LR did sign itself out. But it just adds insult, because I did not sign out myself.
Why? See step 4 — this is not just a minor inconvenience. And I was given a choice not to, but it did it anyway.
EDIT: it happened again, this time after ~80% of the export was complete. So I did a reboot and that helped the export finish (so the message here: reboot our computer before all major work?)
If anyone knows what leads to Adobe apps doing this, feel free to chime in.
