I’ve had Negative Lab Pro v3.0.2 for quite some time, but have only finally started using it. I’m running Lightroom Classic 14.1.1 on an iMac with Sequoia 15.2, and every time I try to convert a few negs, or do roll analysis, Lightroom keeps crashing. I’m having to do all the conversions one at a time. Can anyone help? Thanks!

> MacOS Sequoia 15.5 Lightroom Classic 14.4 NLP v3.1.1 Hey I’d like to ask why the NLP crashes and flashes when I click “convert” in roll analysis mode. The pictures remain unconverted and stop at the border buffer preview as if they are cropped. It functions well if I unselect “roll analysis”. This problem appears both for color negative and B&W modes. I tried restarting, reinstalling both LrC and NLP. The bug stays the same.

I haven’t done a detailed test on how many pictures I can covert without a crash, but it started today mid use. I get the error “Lightroom unexpectedly quit” but it does the convert. when I clear the crash and report prompt I can apply the changes and Lightroom Classic doesn’t actually crash. I’m using NLP 3.1.1 on LRC 15.1.1 on a Mac Studio M4 Max. I reset the preferences in Lightroom, reinstalled NLP, reactivated my account key… Help me Nate!!

After a few hours of testing I thought Vuescan somehow may have been tripping me up. I seemed to get the error while my Epson 4490 Photo plugged in through a USB hub was scanning to memory, not writing to disk. But, the error just quit. doesn’t matter if I convert a few or many with or without Vuescan scanning. So far it’s good, but im expecting it to reoccur randomly. Dunno 🤷‍♂️

…and it is in fact acting up randomly. If I can provide any info or files to anyone smarter than I am with this issue to figure it out, just let me know. I guess I’ll just live with it for now.
