    Renaming Function in Presets

    Thank you for confirming what I suspected. I'm waiting for a response from the plugin developer, but they are a bit slow. This helps me make some workflow decisions.

    Renaming Function in Presets

    It doesn't appear to be possible. The preset is from a plugin, which is selected from the 'Export to:' drop-down at the top of the Export screen. It does not include a 'File Naming' function. And, it does not appear in any of the other windows. In the highlighted choice (unrelated)...

    Renaming Function in Presets

    Is it possible to add the 'Rename' function to an existing Export Preset that does not include it? Perhaps as a 'Post-Process Action'?

    Alamy Lightroom Bridge ???

    FYI.... I recently got a response from Jim's team, with an updated plugin file to try. It seems to work just fine.

    Smart Collection Search by Keyword

    I have created several 'Smart Collections' to gather photos of specific people, based on that person or person's name being a keyword. For example: To select images that contain any, or all, of a family of four persons. 'Any of the following are true' followed by four lines..... 'Keywords'...

    Noise Filter Renaming Issue

    Manually changing the Denoise-produced filename does not work. Since it changed the 'Original File Name' to its current filename, the number suffix is no longer available. For now, it appears the only remedy is to change the names of the exported files manually.

    Noise Filter Renaming Issue

    Yes, correct. Since the new file created by Denoise has appended the text to what was the file number suffix, it no longer exists as such. Furthermore, it changed the 'Original File Name' to the full name of the new file, which means it doesn't exist there either. So, editing the new file's...

    Noise Filter Renaming Issue

    While the new 'Denoise' function seems to work great, it is creating some problems with my renaming functions. For years, I have renamed my camera files to include the 'date' and the 'original file suffix'. 'Denoise' adds 'Enhanced-NR' to the end of my file name when creating its new DNG file...

    Alamy Lightroom Bridge ???

    Sorry… it is a plug-in used to upload and sync images with the stock agency, Alamy. I probably should have said that in my post, as I was following up on some other threads here that were closed to comments.

    Alamy Lightroom Bridge ???

    Too late to delete my post, but I just got a response from Lightroom-Bridge Support saying that it is a long, ongoing problem.

    Alamy Lightroom Bridge ???

    Is Lightroom-Bridge still functional??? Looking at closed threads in this forum, there doesn't seem to be much activity since last year, and on Jim Keir's site, recent activity is even older, like 2019. No response to a support ticket. I recently tried to use it, after a long hiatus. No...

    How to get video movement out of Imported iphone images so they will work in Develop?

    I must be missing something. When I import 'Live' images from my iPhone 11 ProMax, I only get a static HEIC image file. If I export (the unmodified original) from Apple Photos, I get two files, one the static HEIC, and the other a .MOV.

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    I neglected to answer your question. I have several powered EHDs and an unpowered EHD, but none are SSDs. I think I need to focus on a replacement. But is the failure of this SSD the device itself, or the connections? Or are my two computers simply too old to work with it?

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    I tend to agree with you. However, this morning I tried a slightly different approach. I deleted all but the Settings folder from the SSD, and copied just the catalog folder from my Dropbox folder (it seems to work just fine), leaving the previews to rebuild again. It is working, and I was...

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    Thanks for these extensive instructions, which I think is a good method to try. I followed them carefully. But, when I ran the program, it crashed immediately. It wanted to repair the catalog, which of course failed. I then went to a recent backup, which I knew was good. It loaded, synced...

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    The specs on this adapter says it is 'bi-directional', but I just don't see how that is possible. Don't I need a male TB2 and a female TB3? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207266

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    My MacBook Pro is a 15" 2016. Your link shows it has TB3 ports, but doesn't say how many. However, it appears to have four according to its System Information. The iMac is a 27" 5K Late 2015. It appears to have 2 TB2 ports. The SSD that I have is a Sandisk Extreme Pro 1 TB. It has a USB-C...

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    I think you misread this thread? Your response makes less sense to me than your first response. My iMac has a Thunderbolt port (not sure what version), but my MacBook Pro does not. It has 4 USB-C ports ONLY. My goal here is to place my Lightroom catalog on an external SSD drive that can be...

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    I'm not sure what you mean??? The Western Digital 4 TB Passport is powered through the USB-C connection on my MB Pro. It seems to work fine. The SanDisk 1 TB SSD is also powered through a USB, either USB-A (?) from the iMac, or USB-C to the MB Pro. It does not work fine. Are you saying the...

    Technically a hub, but more of a short extension from back to front...... Sabrent 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Multi-In-1 Card Reader For iMac Slim Unibody 2012 or later (HB-IMCR) | HB-IMCR Regardless, LR on the SSD crashed when connected directly to the rear port. I'm using this SSD .... SanDisk...

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    Yes, I run the backup each time I close the program. Since switching to the internal, I've only had an opportunity to work on it a couple of times. It opened, closed and backed up just fine. I think it will take a few more tries to prove your theory about the SSD. I have no indication...

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    Worked fine from both external and internal drives. However, it will take more attempts to prove anything. I'll work from internal drive for a bit to see if I can replicate the problem. Previews file is small right now (about 35gb), but it will quickly outgrow the size of my internal drive...

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    Unfortunately, my Dropbox folder is on an external drive. I'll try that first, then the iMac's internal, but moving the DB folder to the internal is not an option.

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    Thanks for the response. 1. The whole computer DOES crash, but not often. LR does not seem to be affected when this happens, other than to restart. 2. I've tried some of the steps in your list of troubleshooting, but not all. It is an older computer (2015), but seems to be working OK. I...

    Stability Issues - Repeated Crashing

    I am at my wits end with this, so I am hoping that someone can offer some insight, and perhaps a solution. My Lightroom Classic catalog is constantly crashing, sometimes just randomly going to a blank screen, but more often it seems that it crashes during the backup process when I am exiting...
