Since a month or so - under circumstances as described below - LrC enters a state of almost complete unresponsiveness.
All of a sudden the leftmost panelarea does not auto-hide when the mouse cursor is moved away. From then on, the only interactions it accepts is dropping down from the top menu. Whichever menu and menualternative I select, LrC's action is to hide the folded down alternatives. After some 15-20 minutes the leftmost panelarea goes black and remains black. I can click on the top-right-most 'X' which is followed by a LrC action. The dialogue window that normally gives me a chance to backup the catalog, appears completely empty. 'Normally', after have been away from LrC for at least one hour, its CPU-load is 0-0.2%. Now, when LrC 'lies in coma' CPU is 6-9% most of the time, intermittently dropping to 0-0.2% for a second or so. Disk activity is 0-0.1%, Memory 5-10 GB. Leaving LrC in this state over night makes no other difference than a completely white preview area. During this LrC-'lockdown' Windows behaves fairly normal, although somewhat less fast.
Attached is a screen clip showing a portion of LrC.
So, Taskkill or Task Manager is the only way to interact with LrC and must be used to kill the process.
The pre-history to this 'behavior' is this:
(LrC 9.4, Win10Home, 32GB Ram, intel i9 9900k CPU, 2080TI GPU, ~210000 images in catalog on SSD, HDD-troubles followed by restoration efforts from various backups, left me with missing photos and duplicate photos as well as with lots of work to completely restore the catalog.
So, I gave all missing photos a certain keyword and all duplicate photos another keyword. All photos carrying any of those two keywords went into a Smart collection. All photos in this collection (initially ~130000) got another keyword. The Smart collection was then added to a new Collection Set and then 'hidden'. From All Photos i preview the photos having this lastmentioned keyword and sorted by Capture Time and began removing surplus images via Rejecting. After rejection of 500-1000 photos I delete rejected photos. After 4-5 such deletions, I reran "Find all missing photos" and also again searched for duplicate photos, following with keyword-updating and Smart collection activities. After a few (3-5) such sessions, LrC suddenly goes from well-behaving to the state as described here above.
Thoughts and/dor suggestions are most welcome.
