Can't seem to move photos in LR cc

You will need to provide more detail. How are you trying to move them? You can't move photos from a Smart Collection. You can't move photos to a Collection Set. Are you trying to move from the folder panel to another folder? A Collection?

I'm not having any difficulty moving photos.


Is your OS X version 10.9.7 or have you updated to 10.10.3?

I am having a similar issue with LR 6 (and OS X 10.10.3). I have a collection set defined, and a number of collections defined inside the set. These collections already have photos assigned. I imported another set of photos, and I want to assign groups of photos to the existing collections. I can do this _one photo at a time_ but if I select more than one photo in the Library, only the first photo of those selected actually assigns. I have large numbers of photos I want to assign to the existing collections, but I can't seem to get that to work. Is this an issue with LR6 or am I missing something? The documentation says you can assign a photo to a collection - "photo" singular, not plural "photos", so I wonder if this is not possible. Any way around this limitation?

Davd

Update: My mistake - I was "selecting" by clicking on the grey surround area and not on the photo image itself. Clicking on the actual photo lets me select a batch of photos to assign to the collection. Ugh...

At some time everyone gets caught trying to do that. I wonder if this is our OPs problem too.

I am moving them as I'm used to doing. The green plus animation on the cursor is present. Everything is as usual but right at the end it just does nothing. Thought someone else might be having the same problem. LR CC. Mac os 10.9.4. Move still works fine in LR 5. Been using LR since the first beta. Photoshop since 92.

My saying that my LRCC/6 works as designed is no help to you. But I don't see any big difference between your install and mine.
Except forOS version. Is there any reason not to update to OS X 10.10.3? Does it make any difference if you turn of the GPU acceleration?

In LR, Click on the Help menu submenu item system Info and copy and paste the contents into a post back to this thread. Ill see if that tells me anything.

Here's how moving files works for me:
  1. I Select one or more images from the grid view.
  2. Grab by the center of one of the images and drag to the Folder panel
  3. The green plus animation on the cursor appears
  4. I move the cursor and Folders in the Folder panel highlight (magenta) as I move the cursor across them
  5. When I reach the destination folder and it is highlighted, I let go of the mouse. and the selected images are moved to that folder.

LR is consuming a lot of RAM and swapfile space, Any idea why?
When is the last time you rebooted OS X?

Can you try disconnecting one or two monitors and running LR as a single monitor system? If possible just the 5K monitor (5120x2880) FWIW. I'm running LR with two 2560X1440 monitors just fine.

Is this computer a MBP, iMac, Mac Pro or Mac Mini?

REBOOTED AND TRIED AGAIN. no luck

Rebooted.

cycled gnu off and on

not quite ready to go to 10.10 but I can try in on another 10.10 machine

not too big of a deal. maybe the next .1 update will get it.
