Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info):Lightroom Classic CC
I mostly use Lightroom on my iMac and my catalog and photos sit on a portable external drive.
Sometimes, not always, Lightroom won't open and gives me a message saying: Lightroom cannot open the catalog named "cat-name" located on volume "drive-name" because Lightroom cannot save changes to this location. Lightroom Catalogs can not be opened on network volumes, removable storage, or read only volumes.
This has been going on for some months and usually restarting my iMac solves the problem - for a while. I have recently been away for a 4 week trip and I used my MacBook Pro with the portable hard drive while away. I took and uploaded around 4000 photos and did not have a problem when opening Lightroom.
On my return I have plugged in the portable drive to my iMac and within a few days the problem returned. I have upgraded to Lightroom Classic CC in the hope that the bug might have been resolved. However, today, even restarting the iMac has not worked.
Has anybody else had a problem like this? Can anyone give me some advice as to what might be wrong?
