Operating System: Mac
Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): LR classic (subscription-based)
I have LR set to automatically write changes into XMP. Sometimes I've received the following message when closing LR. .: "Adobe Lightroom is not finished writing metadata changes into XMP, do you still want to quit? ..."
Question 1 - - If I opt not to click on "Quit", how long should I wait until I do so?
In the past, the problem has resolved itself as it should but I'd like to have a better understanding how to handle it and not just hit-or-miss on the timing.
Question 2 - - For the past few weeks, the above message appears EVERY single time I close the program. My concern is that although I've been adding lots of keywords and develop adjustments, the catalog size doesn't increase. Does this mean the catalog isn't "holding" the changes? By the way, these are JPGS not raw files ie adjustments should be written directly to the jpg file, correct?
Question 3 - - And when I view the image in Mac Finder or Preview, I see the original jpg with NO adjustments, as though I never did any develop adjustments in LR. Is that correct or should those adjustments be visible once they're written to the jpg file regardless of where/ how I view it? Note: If I export the image or bring a copy into PSD through "Edit In", the adjustments are visible.
The most important thing is I want to be sure the closed catalog is holding onto my image & metadata changes. Please help. Thanks!
