Hi there

I am rather annoyed at this, so exuse the tone.

I shot my first studio session yesterday, tethered. I took 115' images and LR had no problems at all in handling the load as they were imported from the watched folder.

As discussed in a previous post, files from a tethered shoot are imported as there native RAW file, in my case CR2's.

The problem arrose when i got home and went to convert all of them to DNG.
  • LR got about 1 hour and 36' images into the process and refused to convert any more. "Lr was unable to convert this file to DNG"
  • 79' images
  • No matter what i tried it failed to convert any further images. I rendered all standard previews. I optimised, nothing.
  • It was not the CF cards, as the point where it stopped was 1/2 way through the 2nd of 4 cards
Luckily, i made sure before the shoot to tick the box in my EOS capture not to delete files from card during capture/import.

In the end i had to import all the images that were not converted initially from my CF cards.

All up this process took me 4 hours, where instead i should have been working on developing some images to show to the client this morning.

This should not have happened.

It could have been just one photo in the pipeline that stopped it going any further; I've seen Lightroom give up in this way before. Did you try converting other individual photos after it stopped to see if that worked?

I selected tons of them very randomly by import order, extension.

Did not matter which image i chose, i got the same message.

Yes

i have a folder created for the import of tethered shots.

Should i have meved them from that folder to another folder?

too late

after re-importing the images from the cards as DNG's, i deleted the ones on the tethered folder for HD space.

will remember for next time.

point is, it's a bug and needs a fix

cheers for the help
