Lightroom classic and media browser

I am using Lightroom Classic 13.4 and FotoMagico 6.6.
In media browser under <Libraries> and <Adobe Lightroom Classic> two subfolders “folders” and “collections” are displayed.
The images are on a network drive.
My problem is that the images from the collections subfolder are only sometimes displayed in the media browser with a preview image, but mostly not. Right-clicking with Reload does not work. Only a frame is displayed.
What is the reason for this and what can I do?
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Wolfgang

Hi @Wolfgang_Jost Thanks for using FotoMagico and for reaching out in the forum.

If I’m not mistaken, this is because for Adobe Lightroom Classic, you need to have preview images in sufficient resolution rendered for all the pictures you plan to use. This is a setting in Lightroom.

Hello Oliver, thank you very much for the feedback. I am aware of the request to set the preview to 1:1 in LR. The preview is already set to 1:1. So that can’t be the cause.
It must be due to the LR collection. The same images are displayed correctly in the original folder.
Only the images of the collection are displayed with a blank frame and with file name.

I getting the same thing. Preview boxes are empty frames. This worked flawless in version 5. If I can’t solve this problem I’ll rethink my purchase.

Hello Wolfgang,
Wondering if you have figured out a solution to this problem? I also get this if I drag an empty frame to the timeline.

I get some media browser previews now. Only seem to be certain jpeg images that appears. What formats are supported by the media browser? Can RAW file be previewed in the browser?

@muaddib Unfortunately, we recently discovered that support for Lightroom Classic was disrupted with version 13.3. Since we rely on third-party code that we cannot update, it seems the last Lightroom Classic version compatible with FotoMagico’s browsing functionality is 13.2. This issue also affects FotoMagico 5, as it uses the same third-party code.

The only way to restore the Lightroom Classic integration is to downgrade to Lightroom Classic 13.2. However, it seems that Lightroom Classic 13.2 cannot read catalog files created in version 13.3 or newer, so this is not a viable solution.

The remaining option is to export the images from Lightroom Classic to a folder on your disk (e.g., on your Desktop) and use this folder as a Folder Source in the FotoMagico image browser.

Please let me know if this works for you.

This is not a satisfactory solution.
I also subscribed to FotoMagico because of the LR Classic functionality.
I expect the developers of FotoMagico to find a solution to integrate the current and future Lightroom Classic versions. The more powerful LR Timelapse software has also shown that it is possible. .

full agreement. To use Lightroom with Fotomagico I had to rollback to the previous version (backup stand from earlier time this year) and currently lost a lot of photos I imported in this time. So at the moment I can’t import new photos.

Any updates at this topic?
