Lightroom: Can't access the Export dialogue

Try resetting your preferences: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh...

Can you try something for me Peter, just as a test? Try going to File menu > New Catalog and just create a new catalog on the desktop, import a couple of photos and see if Export works in that catalog? You can then go back to File menu > Open Recent to open your normal catalog again.

And this is which OS?

Tried both the prefs reset and a new catalogue. Still not working.

2015.2.1 Release
Camera Raw 9.2

OS X El Capitan
Version 10.11 (15A284)

One curious thing, I can't find the "com.adobe.Lightroom6.plist"

Yes and yes. When LR opened, there seemed to be no difference. After closing and re-starting LR, the reset seems to have worked.

I wonder how this was solved. I have the same issue, and tried all of the above (deleting the preference several time, restarting etc.). Nothing has worked out. The export dialogue is still gone and I cannot export my work.
OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), LR 6.2.1

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Lightroom CC: Export feature no more working.

Hello,
I am a Mac OS X user. After the update to El Capitan and after the update of Lightroom CC to 2.1, export feature is not working and I am going crazy with it.
I am performing the same action ever: I select the image and right click on the pic, select Export... and nothing happens. More I face also the same problem if I go in the Library tab and I try to Setup Publishing Service.
Can somebody help me?

I've tried everything here and I can't export from Lightroom. I've reset the preferences, I've tried a new catalog. I'm stuck. Is anyone else still experiencing this issue? How was it solved? Please help. I need to export images for a client by tomorrow.

That and several other features that I often use have gone !!!

Could someone who's hitting this save a copy of your bad prefs and send them to me? If we can get a copy of the prefs that could help us debug.

The path is: /Users/[your user name]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom6.plist

You may need to use Method two in this document to access hidden user library files in OS X 10.7 or later: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/gl...

Well someone suggested, that it might be the preferences file, but I am not sure that this is actually the case. Anyway, I could send the .plist file, but I am not sure how get it to you.

For those of you having issues with Export, do any of the files you're trying to export have person (face) keywords attached to them?

In my case no, I have no person/face keywords attached to them.

Same problem here. Deleted the .plist prefs file, rebooted, and the issue persists. I'm running LR 2015.2.1 on Yosemite (10.10.5). I have faces tagged on some pictures but not others....doesn't matter which I choose, I can't get the export window to appear.

Using Lightroom 6.2.1. ( Stand alone) with Mac OS x 10.11. on an iMac (21.5 Zoll, Mitte 2011, 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5,16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3)
But since upgrading, no export is possible. No export window, nothing happened!
Only using " wie vorher exportieren" works.
But i Don't want export like before. No Tagged pictures!
So, i go back to LS 6.1 :-(

After resetting the preferences (rename com.adobe.Lightroom6.plist and reboot), and creating a new catalog, the export still does not work.

But here comes the strange part: "File", "Export with Preset" still shows all of my user presets!

Obviously the user presets are not in com.adobe.Lightroom6.plist, and they are not in the catalog. Consequently, a new catalog and new presets will not fix the problem.

-> So where are the user presets stowed away? Whatever file / location this is, this needs to be deleted and recreated.

A fresh installation of Lightroom on a pristine virtual machine does not show the problem, so it must have to do something with the user presets.

One more thing that is disturbing: After I renamed the preferences and rebooted, Lightroom still knows which Catalog to open. Also, when I check the newly created .plist file, it contains e.g. a list of all my Cataloges, even very old ones. So the file is not entirely fresh, it must have imported some settings from somewhere.
I have no version 5 files lying around, by the way.

I managed to really remove all settings. There was an additional directory in "~/Application Support", as far as I remember. When this directory and the settings are removed, then LR starts up as if freshly installed, with a new, empty catalog. Into this catalog I imported one single file (a screenshot from the Mac).
So the catalog is small, and the file as well.
Right now I can't zip it up, because my Mac is busy.
Once I can: Where should I attach the file?

Maybe this helps a bit: The console shows two lines of error logs:
- An uncaught exception was raised
- Recursive load attempt for namespace: AgExportDialog

Then a stack trace follows:

me too all this AND i get sporadic renegade mouse behavior

In case this helps anyone I have found that un-installing Lightroom (via the Creative Cloud app) then re-installing has resolve the Export issue.

I had previously tried resetting and removing preferences, but this did not help.

Before re-installing I had the following issues:
* Export menu would not work.
* Various other shortcut keys would not work (e.g. "g" grid view, "f" full-screen etc).

The Export bug was the most problematic because the shortcut key bug could be worked around by using the menu items.

worked for me thank you

The other suggestion is roll back to the prior 6.1.1 update until things are reverted and corrected: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/...

Super, uninstall/reinstall worked for me as well. I even kept my user settings when I uninstalled, and could continue working after the re-installation immediately.
