Bug in Photoshop Lightroom. When I go to export a number of files, I have the resize option selected to resize the long edge with the "do not enlarge" checked. This works on the vertical files but not the horizontal files. The files I'm exporting ar DNG files created by the same camera and resolution. I've tried resize by inches and by pixels but still only the verticals ar resized, the horizontals are native resolution. I am running Mac OS 10.6.5 with Lightroom 3.4. My only solution was to select the horizontals separately and then export resize hight and width with only the width value. I didn't have this problem with previous versions.

Cannot reproduce.
Neighter wide, nor tall images ignore the "don't enlarge" box.

Of course, because it's not this bug. It's has no relation with wide or tall images.
Take usual image say 4000x3000
Select Export to disk
Set File size limit to, for example, 10000Kb
Set Resize to 10000x10000
Check "don't enlarge"
Export
Result image is not 4000x3000 (as it should) but 10000x7500.
Do the same again, but dont limit file size, just set qulity percentage and you get the same size 4000x3000 as expected.

Ok, I can reproduce now.
It was not clear to me from your first post that one have to use "Limit File size" (using some punctuation would help).

Just uncheck the Do Not Enlarge box as a workaround.
I guess if you have no need for "do not enlarge" feature, it's hard to appreciate that others do.

In the context of this specific bug, having "Don't Enlarge" checked seems entirely superfluous, i.e. the bug can only happen when attempting to downsize an image in some way, and when downsizing there's no point in having that option checked, right?
The "Don't Enlarge" option is for when you are exporting a batch of images, some (or most) of which will be reduced (down-sized), but those that are already smaller than exported dimensions, mustn't be enlargen'd (up-sized).
It's a very useful option for some people, and not useful at all for others.
PS - The initial bug reported here is 3 years old, but the new round of "do not enlarge" bugs started with Lr5.3.

"it's hard to appreciate" but not so hard that you can't turn it off at need. Bottom Line. It is broke but it isn't work-stopper.
For some people (or should I say "in some situations"), simply turning it off is not an acceptable "solution" (more accurately: it's not a solution at all). Granted, if one pre-filters their exports by size, and exports in 2 different batches (those that need to be down-sized, and those that don't) they can work-around that way, provided they aren't depending on contiguous sequence numbers...

So, as I said: No one is dead in the water.
It is reported. It will hopefully be fixed shortly. I have to say in 7 years of using Lightroom, I have NEVER had to check that box. Others have;that's fine. Until it is fixed, you can either lament or uncheck the box as necessary.

Right, and another option is to not export any files until the next version of Lightroom is released - so what's the problem?
I'm not sure why you are trying to minimize the impact of this bug - if it affects you, it's a disruption to your workflow, and if not, it isn't - just like most other bugs in Lightroom. Nobody is claiming it's a show-stopper (or if they are, then they are probably exaggerating) - there is one exception I can think of, as noted above (if you are dependent on contiguous sequence numbers, your show may be stopped by these bugs).
To reiterate: in all cases when this feature is needed, simply unchecking the box is completely unacceptable (isn't a work-around, and isn't a solution) - if you need the feature, you need to take other steps as well to work around these bugs.
That said, until these bugs are fixed, it seems a good idea to reconsider whether your situation really warrants having "do not enlarge" checked, or not.

"I'm not sure why you are trying to minimize the impact of this bug" When you propose from an incorrect thesis, you will never understand.
I think this discussion is over. It is there. It is reported. It will be fixed WHEN Adobe gets it fixed.

It seems to me that you don't really understand the purpose for the "do not enlarge" feature, and therefore why/how these bugs are impacting the people who do make use of (or depend on) the feature.
The fact that *you* have NEVER seen the need to use it, does not mean it isn't useful, and used...
Note: these bugs, like so many in Lightroom, may be more of a problem *before* you are aware of their existence, and have a work-around in place, than *after*...
PS - I agree: 'nuff said...

It seems to me Rob, that you do not really understand what I do or do not understand. My recommendation is to read what people write - more carefully-without agenda. Are we done here?
It seems to me, regardless of what you do or do not understand, that you have an agenda to discredit people's legitimate complaints about bugs they've encountered, which genuinely and adversely affect their work and/or their experience of Lightroom. It's true - I have no idea why - my theory is that you are compelled for some reason to defend Adobe on principle, even when such defense seems unnecessary and counter-productive to me.
FWIW, I also get aggravated sometimes when it seems people are "over-complaining", given the nature of the problem...
