LR classic clocks (hangs as not responding) when card pulled even after it has been ejected by LR

[MikeTrahan99]

LR seems to frequently hang when doing import related actions. The only way out is to terminate it and restart. This happens when you try to click elsewhere in the program:

-- When the SD card is pulled even after it has been ejected by LR

-- When it's building previews.

As an aside, LR lives up to its well-deserved reputation as a response time pig.

Hi MikeTrahan99,

Sorry that Lightroom Classic CC is freezing while the SD card is manually ejected or ejected by Lightroom/system.

This issue has been identified as a bug and our Engineers are working towards a fix. Please add your vote to this discussion by clicking the "Me-Too" button up at the top right: Lightroom Classic 7.3: Unresponsive after Eject SD Card/USB Drive | Photoshop Family Customer Commun... ​

A "reasonable" solution, in the meantime, is to copy the images to your hard drive using your system browser first. Then import them into Lightroom using the Add option.
