Lightroom: "Internal error" when initiating multiple headless merges
LR 7 finally added queuing of multiple HDR and panorama merge operations, letting you kick off multiple merges without grinding LR to a halt. But if you select multiple collapsed stacks and try to initiate a headless merge on all of them at once, you get "An internal error occurred". The tedious workaround is to select each collapsed stack in turn and do Shift + Ctrl + H (headless HDR merge) or Shift + Ctrl + M (headless panorama). LR 7 came so close to full batch merging...
To reproduce:
1. Select 20 raw files.
2. Do Photo > Create Virtual Copy. This will create virtual copies of the 20 raws, making 20 stacks.
3. Do Photo > Stacking > Collapse All Stacks.
4. Select all 20 stacks.
5. Do Shift + Ctrl + H.
6. After a few seconds, observe the error message "An internal error has occurred. Unable to merge the photos."
Tested on LR 7.0 / OS X 10.12.6.

Does the merge operation of these photos work if you are using using 'Photos->Photo Merge' menu option?

It's frustrating when I have to go photo to photo AFTER I auto stack by capture time! Is there a feature that would automatically merge the stacks to HDR after autostacking by time that I am missing? If not i'd LOVE to see this feature in lightroom classic...

We are currently looking into a more automatic way of doing merges like this. Stand by!
Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: How can I merge all stacks to HDR? I already know the Crtl+Shift+H! Auto-stack by....
