I formerly ask for this enhancement: A new checkbox, which when checked, will cause Lightroom Classic to regenerate all affected previews, in view or not, whenever any changes are applied to multiple photos. By @roc97007 100% agree. This and nothing else.

Wow, thank you for that deep-dive, that's really producing some insights even though I don't really know what to make out of this. Maybe it's a bug, yes? And still why doesn't Lightroom allow to load previews without being idle? I feel like this feature is more directed towards users with a large library where it would probably heavily impact their performance when Lightroom constantly tried to keep the previews up to date and at the same time edit photos. But still it doesn't make so much sense to me that there is no way to make Lightroom prioritise building the previews so that you have a little initial loading time and then you work with almost no breaks and stops but Lightroom forces you to work with hickups. I feel like this is a serious design flaw. And I feel like high end systems are somewhat capable of building previews in the back and still have some basic photo editing going on.

...but why? This makes absolutely no sense to me that it is that way by design. It's not even only after presets but merely by copying and pasting settings which is basically technically the same I guess. It's often the case that I have an assignment and there are say four or five different locations and prerequisites. Or I used a flash and then I did not. So I do copy and paste a lot. So you're basically telling me that lightroom is not designed to copy and paste settings and keep itself updated on the newest version of the photo? That's unbelievable and hardly acceptable for a software that calls itself "professional". Hitting the "create previews" button every time I copy and paste settings will probably "do the job" but it's an absolute workflow killer. Sad because I like the Lightroom outcomes sometimes better than CaptureOne. But if this is how Lightroom works I guess it is not suited for everyday use for me...

Hey hey thanks for your answer. I now tried a test catalogue with not using embedded previews. I imported 500 photos, applied a preset and waited for the "Standard previews" to be rendered. When I browsed through the photos it seemed fine, all photos had the preset applied. Now I tried another look and applied it to all photos. That's where the same old problem comes in: Lightroom just updates the previews of the photos in frame in Library view. Every other photo gets updated whenever in comes into view, be it in Development, Single View or Library. Lightroom does not update the previews to the new look in background. Checking "Replace Embedded Previews with Standard Previews during Idle Time" does absolutely nothing and I read online it would only kick in after 5 minutes of processor being 5-20% and not moving the mouse or so lol. So not really useful. I can absolutely do "Library > Previews > Build Standard-Sized Previews" but I think it's rebuilding all the previews from scratch and it takes 3-4 minutes for 500 photos. Even though it now told me there were some previews already there and it took a little less I don't think this workflow is very convenient. Like every time I apply some settings to multiple photos I have to manually update the previews?? Is there not any way Lightroom updates on its own in the background?

Did you read what I wrote? The problem is that embedded previews don't get updated for "real previews" in the background and embedded previews that don't show any of the adjustments I made but plain raw data are no use for me.

PS: My process now for "speeding things up": - Go to library view - Zoom out max - Let previews load - Scroll down to new section - Let previews load ... - Repeat till end. There has to be a better way.

Hey,
I have really annoying trouble with the speed of loading Lightroom's previews. My System: Macbook Pro M1 Max 32GB RAM My Camera: Nikon Z7II I'm a professional photographer who switched from CaptureOne but Lightroom is starting to annoy me really bad here. I know the filesize of the Nikon's RAWs is hefty but my computer should be capable of dealing with them. My process for each job: Make a new Catalog. Copy the files (mostly around 600-800 photos) to a folder. Import to Lightroom. Create a basic look, copypaste on all images, start making the selection. Whenever I'm in library mode, all the photos that are "in frame" get a preview loaded. Whatever is not in frame keeps the embedded preview until I select the photo or scroll to it in library mode. This is really really annoying for culling photos as there's a LOT of stuttering and loading while going through the photos. I even started using photo mechanics for culling photos when I'm in a hurry because Lightroom lets me down on speed. So I found the option of exchanging the embedded previews with the "real" previews when idle. I checked it and absolutely nothing changes. Why doesn't Lightroom load the previews when importing or when applying the look to all the photos? I'd much rather have a little loading bar on the top left telling me when my previews are rendered. While that my system would be a little bit slowed down finishing that I'd have a workable environment. Capture One does that for example and I think it's the only viable option for professionals. Did I just miss something or is Lightroom simply not able to create previews in the background? Or do I have to manually tell lightroom to reload the previews every time I apply the same look to say 250 photos? Also: When I paste a look with cmd - shift - v, it sometimes takes 2 or 3 times pressing the buttons until it is understood by lightroom I want to paste the settings. This is also really annoying and I think it has to do with Lightroom not having loaded a "real" preview yet and is still in the process of exchanging the embedded preview. Any thoughts on how to fix these issues, Lightroom team? Maybe it's my fault but if not I'll probably swith back to Capture because it's not fit for professional use. Cheers!
