I'm unsure what happened beyond my immediately reversed decision to turn on Automatically Write Changes into XMP. For years, I've routinely saved metadata with the simple Ctrl-S. My catalog has over 500K images.
When I try to save metadata in any of the different manners, the saving metadata progress bar remains empty, and the metadata never gets saved, even after 10's of minutes. I created a new catalog from a single folder (147 images), and AM able to save metadata changes in that folder. Currently I'm exporting files in my main catalog to a new one to see if that solves the issue. I know similar (or identical) problems have been described and resolved here, (I think @John Ellis helped), but frankly, I couldn't quite follow the process for resolution.
