Yesterday I received an invitation to participate to an Adobe poll about the most perceived needs for performance improvements in Lightroom. It recalled me that I didn't upgrade Lightroom for some time: I still have
Lightroom version: 6.6 [ 1078672 ]
License: Perpetual
while I see that the latest is 6.10.1. Ok, let's go for an update. Since I'm an old-fashioned guy, I first checked for a manual download, found the upgrade bits, downloaded and launched. It failed with an obscure error code. So, I gave up and went with the specific upgrade tool Adobe Creative Cloud.
I hate it, and there are reasons for that. First, it usually has to upgrade itself, and it wouldn't be an issue, pity that I had to run it six times to complete the upgrade, and each time it got stuck and had to kill from the Activity Monitor of Mac OS X (plus, there are such a number of service daemons from Adobe that it's difficult to understand whether they are in a troubled state or not).
At last, I'm with the tool running. I ask to check for app updates... tah-dah! It says that Lightroom is up to date. What am I missing - or all the whole stuff is severely broken, in addition to be overcomplicated?
