I’ve found what might be a reproducible bug in Lightroom b4, but I haven’t done enough investigating to pionpoint it exactly.
What’s going wrong is if I Export as a Binder, from my Mac, and try to import it on the PC, if it’s more than a certain number of levels of depth of Shoots, the import fails.
I don’t know exactly how many levels, or if the problem is with the import or export. But it’s annoying, as I can’t just export the whole library as a binder and then import it into my existing library… instead I have to break it up into segments.
Maybe I was too hasty. It appears the problem may just be with one of the files I was attempting to transfer.
I’m not sure if it was a filename issue, or a corrupt photo. I had some (poorly named, badly shot) photos in the library, and removing them made it work.
I could have saved myself a heap of time by just removing them, and then doing the transfer in one big go, rather than having to do seperate shoots. Took me about 3 hours…
25 minutes after the fact.
