I hope someone can help?Ĭlick to expand.Technically a hub, but more of a short extension from back to front. I am embarking on a large project of digitizing a mountain of slides, negatives, and prints. I've cleaned most of that up, and while the syncing issues have subsided, it doesn't appear to be the cause of the crashing as I thought it might be. It works great for that purpose, but managing it is very difficult leading to lots of syncing problems. I use LR Mobile primarily to edit iPhone images and import them into my LR Classic archive. I also have several Publish Collections for several websites and blogs. This is somewhat mirrored with a very browsable hierarchy of collection folders that contain every image in the catalog at least once, often more. Searchable through keywords, but totally no browsable. My workflow had image files placed in descriptive-named folders. Starting over with a new catalog, as an Adobe support person suggested, is not really an option. I have spent many, many hours adding a wealth of metadata, and of course a LOT of image editing.

(Never knew why)īesides editing, I use LR as a 'digital asset management' tool, so I am currently tracking about 175,000 images. LR would not run at all on my iMac when it was running Catalina. Attaching the Catalog SSD to the MBPro works somewhat better, but crashes there as well. About 5 TB of files, with about half in a Dropbox folder that is linked to a 4 TB external drive on my MacBook Pro. Image files are located on an 8 TB external drive. Catalog files are located on an external 1 TB SSD. I primarily run this on an iMac (late 2015) 27' with 32gb of memory and a clean installation of Big Sur updated to 11.4. I am running the latest version of Lightroom Classic as I am a 'full suite' subscriber. They showed no interest in the code screens. They just go through the motions of going to a backup, and have offered little insight into what could be the problem. I have spent hours and hours on the phone with Adobe over several calls, obviously without success. But, the repair rarely works, requiring my going to a recent backup file. On blank screen crashes where I get the 'Report to Adobe' splash screen full of code, the program usually will restart, but when it crashes during the backup process, it usually produces a corrupt catalog message requiring a repair. My Lightroom Classic catalog is constantly crashing, sometimes just randomly going to a blank screen, but more often it seems that it crashes during the backup process when I am exiting the program. I am at my wits end with this, so I am hoping that someone can offer some insight, and perhaps a solution.
