so mad with Lightroom! GRRR!

I just spent 2 hours editing and went to export and got this:
"an error occurred while exporting, 229 photos failed to export"

I tried even restarting my computer. GRRRR I can't get it to work!

Any tips before I have a nuclear meltdown?!

oh no. I am in the middle of importing like 300 there right now and waiting.

Re-check your target folder. Perhaps it's no longer available, or write protected.

Good luck,

been there, done that...but thanks.

I had this issue. I could only export 100-125 at a time. Never figured out how to solve it. Got a new computer instead... Now exporting takes 1/4 the time!

so it won't export them now?

Have you upgraded to the new version?

Is it possible that the target hard drive may be full?

what ever it was I started over. and it's fine now.
Lost 2 hours of work but oh well. That's life.

For preventing losing work due internal error use following setting:

File -> Catalog Settings -> Metadata -> Automatically write changes into XMP = ON

If a database fails / crashes, all your work is still there and building a new lib with the files loads the modifications too.
The standard setting is off. Version 1.0 could be set as general setting, whereas version 1.1 & 1.2 is set for each database.

"Normally" export fails if the file name of the target file exists or you do multiple exports at the same time. Was that the reason for the failure?
I assume that enough space was available.
