I an getting a folder called "auxiliary" showing up when I export a file(s) to a seperate folder. Nothing appears to be saved to this folder, but it appears the first time I export a file. If I delete the folder it does not reappear if I expoet more files.

    Hi @OwleyMedic!

    Could you provide a bit more info? Does this happen with every image? What version of Lightroom and Operating System are you using? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this issue on my end while exporting.

    Thanks!

    I appears to happen on the first export from a folder, could be one file or group export. Does not happen on susbequent exports or if I deleat the auxulary folder it does not reappear after that.

      Hi @OwleyMedic!

      It seems there's a bug here. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to consistently reproduce it—on my end, the folder is only being created occasionally. Does it happen only when you have masks in the file or when you use certain export settings? If you could share a short video showing the steps you take to get the auxiliary folder created after exporting a file, it would really help us investigate further.

      Thanks a lot!

      in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

      p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

      The same thing is happening to me in Lightroom Cloud when I export a JPEG sometimes.
