Hi,

I am using an old MacPro with Mojave OSX and LRC to edit my photos.
I have tried batch export several times and I get a dialog box saying it is preparing to export the files. The files begin to export and I can see the progress bar at the top left of the LR interface. However, this dialog box does not go away and it prevents me from continuing to edit. There is a cancel option, but will that cancel the export?

Today I was exporting images to a Facebook folder and a full-resolution folder for a client and it did it again. Also, after the export was completed, it remained on the screen until I hit "Cancel".
Is there anyone else having this issue?
Should I just hit cancel once the images begin to export and will the export continue?

Thanks.

Not sure if it's related, but I have an old (2009) Macbook running 10.11.6 and LR6. I was not able to upgrade to 10.14.

I found that for panoramas, I can get the preview to work, but when I ask for the merge, it shows the progress bar in the upper left, gets about 3/4 of the way, and does not move. In my case, I know that it's a resource constraint. I only have 2GB of memory. You may want to open the Activity Monitor to see what your resource usage is.
