I am running Lr Classic version 12.0.1 on a new Dell laptop.
This was purchased after some long research to make sure it was set up with sufficient Ram etc to run Lr effectively.
The catalog is situated on the laptop along with the helper, previews, smart previews and data folders.
The actual photos are stored on an external drive, along with the backups and Lightroom settings folder.
I have the option to automatically write XMP turned off at the moment.
The mystery I'm hoping to resolve is why do I keep getting error warnings?
One is "The metadata for this photo has been changed by another application."
Followed then by an overwrite or import option.
Another error message I'm getting is,
The metadata has been changed by another application, should Lr import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog.
The only application I use is Lr and Photoshop.
In my LR Classic catalog, if I open an image from the library mode, do a bit of work on it in the Develop mode then return to the library mode, not always, but quite often this error message will suddenly appear, it wasn't there before I moved from the library to the develop module.
I've not used another application, just remained in the LR Classic environment.
My catalog is riddled with these messages and I'm unsure why they sometimes appear, sometimes not.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to them.
They seem to appear at random, in some cases I can have two or three images, all taken at the same time, imported into Lr at the same time, one will have the message, the others not.
My work-flow is to import images into Lr and edit them mostly in Lr, I very occasionally send an image over to Photoshop for minor tweaks.
Nearly everything is performed in Lr.
There's a couple of screen-grab examples below.
The first example below, I opened this image out of the library mode and into the develop mode, adjusted the exposure, and returned to the library where the warning box error message suddenly appeared.
The second screengrab is showing how many examples of this behavior I can find at a random point in my catalog, the white highlighted images all have error messages.
The other issue I have, and this may or may not be related, is the whole Lr application is soooo slooow, I think it might be trying to generate previews each time I go into the library.
Any tips much appreciated.
