    Library module Folder names can not include '@' when files are on an external drive?

    To be clear, on both the external and internal HD, the folder was renamed successfully with the '@' symbol as part of its name, but the LR catalog can not read this folder from the external HD, but able to from the internal one. Which is why I believe its a LR issue not a file system nor OS one.

    Library module Folder names can not include '@' when files are on an external drive?

    I came across a strange behavior when renaming folders inside lightroom. I have a LR catalog on an external drive, and when I try to rename some of the folders to include the '@' symbol, the 'missing folder' icon shows up. I tried to manually point it to the new folder by doing right click and...

    Import sort photos taken within the same second by time

    When importing photos into lightroom, I rename them based on timestamp plus a couter, but it only includes up to seconds and not milli seconds. I do not see a way to use millis second during the import process. As a result, photos show up out of sequence in the library module. Is there a...

    I am looking for a better and more seamless way to backup photos and edits. Right now I import photos to lightroom on a laptop, do all my edits there. I have 2 seperate catalog setup on 2 different backup external drives. I would open the catalog on each drive and import changes from the...

    Plug in or tool to mark all photos with a specific characteristics?

    If I have 100+ photos of groups of people facing the camera, is there a lightroom plugin or tool, that will color label any photo with at least one person not looking into the camera or have the eyes closed? With the advancement in AI, I m hoping something is available or under development...

    Develop module Different sections of preset?

    When importing a lightroom preset into lightroom classic, most of them appear under the preset section. But I notice that some will appear at the bottom of the preset section with a horizontal line above and they can not be renamed. Is there a way to move them back to the normal preset...

    Develop module Image is turn 90 degree after edit in develop mode

    PS is up to date; re-read meta data from file didn't help. However I found a way. Remove photo from catalog, and synchronize folder (to reimport file back to LR). Its not ideal because all develop settings are gone, but I can not find any other way.

    JPG files and slow

    Windows 10, latest LR, is there a way to improve the performance of navigating and exporting jpeg files? I can flip thru jpeg files on a normal windows file viewer without any lags, but in LR, even without any settings applied, it will take1-2 seconds. If I were to zoom in 100%, it may takes 5...

    Sync Syncing is spotty with the latest version of lightroom

    I m now on 12.2.1, problem is still there, and the work around above doesn't seem to work all the time. Sometime I had to open LR on both desktop and mobile, and restart each one and hope they sync. I submitted a support ticket to adobe last month and all I get is a generic response...

    Sync Syncing is spotty with the latest version of lightroom

    Yes, I found a workaround, and it is to 'touch' the collection, by navigating it.
