Lightroom 1.4 problems and bugs

Just a little warning if you have an intention to update to the latest 1.4 version.

If you use the function convert to DNG at import it doesn't work in this new release. Problem with the export is also reported. It's now an "official" bug and will be corrected in the next update.

Reports about users have problems updating their xmp files as well.

So if you don't desperately need this new update my advice is that you completely skip this update.

UPDATE: Only the Windows version is affected. MAC version seem to be fine so far.

Is it confirmed that it happens to everyone? I haven't shot anything to import but that seems like a screaming huge bug to overlook if it consistently happens on every 1.4 install that it can't import to DNG.

Yes its "confirmed" here http://www.adobeforums​.com/webx/.59b4af88.

I was amused when i was reading a few comments there saying

" blame myself for this mess. I should know by now not to install any Lightroom update before first watching the forum for a couple of days. I will not make this mistake again. "

replied with "If that attitude was taken by everyone, the bugs would never get discovered"

So suddenly we are all beta testers for Adobe .......yet again should be added.

What a howlingly bad state of affairs!!

Looks like the mac os version isn't affected for those on the platform.

Adobe aren't run by Microsoft are they...

I've just rolled-back to 1.3.1 with no problems, luckily I've not taken any pics for a few days...

How did you manage that, Kev?

Un-installed 1.4 using 'Add/remove programs' or whatever it's called in Vista and just re-installed from the old v1.3.1 install file I downloaded the last time (i always keep old versions) - all presets/library files etc. are all picked-up automatically.

I'll try to do the same as I have likely got the old install file too ...

The old v1.3.1 can be downloaded HERE
