When Adobe first introduced it’s iOS import Shortcut for Lightroom I started using it often and reliably. However, it suddenly stopped working on both my 2021 M1 iPad Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Now when I try to use the shortcut to import an image from Photos it gives the error “The operation could not be completed. (WFActionErrorDomain error 1” Has anyone else encountered this problem? I have tried deleting he shortcut and recreating it, but it did not help.

    It looks like it is broken again sadly.

    Same error, even if I start Lightroom before the action.

    im running iOS 18.1

      Thanks @Rikk Flohr: Photography 

      It now works without having to open LrM first

        Greetings all,

         

        Updates for Adobe Photography products have been released.  The February 2023  updates contain a fix for this issue. 

        If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

        Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

         

        Thank you for your patience.

        Thanks Kevin.  I modified my shortcut too.

        Good recommendation. I modified the shortcut to launch LR as the first step 😀

        That is it! If LR is not running, I get the error. If I launch it and then run the shortcut, no error message.

        Terrible testing on Adobe’s part (IMHO)…..but as long as I can use the shortcut again, I’m “happy” 😀

        I’ll log a separate issue/bug report on this one……if someone hasn’t already.

        @Ignacio B. 

         

        Yes,  I get the error if i DO NOT have LrM already running so the workaround works!

        @kevinwestby a workaround would be to start Lightroom before you run the import shortcut. I.e. over the shortcut itself, "start app Lightroom"

        I am not getting that error.  The new update is working for me.  I imported several RAWs using the shortcut and they imported.  I then selected 8 more including 4 I already imported and it correctly imported the 4 new ones and said 4 were already imported.  

        What import scenario were you using to cause the error?

        Thank you for confirming the fix.

        The issue that you are now running into is a different issue.
        We should probably create a new thread for that particular issue. 
        Once you've create a new thread, can you let us know what your shortcut does exactly and what device you are on?
