After converting negatives with NLP v2.3 in Lightroom Classic V11.1, each converted negative displays an exclamation mark in the upper right corner. When I click on it, the message “There was an unknown error while writing metadata to this photo. Retry” My options are: “Retry Metadata export” or “Import Settings from Disk”. I chose the “Retry” option, which seems to take care of the issue. But, this is time consuming because I have to do this for every negative converted y NLP. This began after I upgraded to NLP 2.3.

Do you have any recommendations to correct this issue?

Thank you,  
Steve

Same here, been around for a while. I’ve got Lightroom Classic 11.2 and this is the dialog box that shows.
