ive tried opening numerous new projects, with and without unit tests, but none of them allow it to be previewed. I did see on Twitter that I'm not alone in seeing this issue. Any ideas on steps to troubleshoot it?

Created a new project, and it wa still not allowing a preview. Then I realized that my Documents folder is actually being stored in iCloud Drive. I went back to my root user directory on my local HD and created a new folder in my user folder for the project, and after creating it, it worked without issue.

What worked for me is I went to file inspector in the utilities area on the right hand side of the xcode editor. One of the files was there with a .swift extension. Type: Default - Swift Source. Changing the location is what worked for me. I changed it from "Relative to Group" to "Relative to Project" and the preview came up!


What fixed it for me was copying the Xcode project file and the folder of code into a separate housing folder, and opening that as a separate project - the process in the original post was unnecessary.


I had this problem when I added a folder and was using the cloud storage. I simply removed the folders added and added them again. Make sure to select both "Create Groups" and "Create Items ..". Usually it is "Create a folder reference" by default. I hope this information can help someone looking for a quick solution.


PreviewProvider protocol is available from iOS 13 only. If you select the running target of your project to any simulator which is below iOS 13 the previews won't work. Just select anything iOS13 or above, pause and resume preview and it will work.


When you start xCode/open a project, it takes a while in the upper toolbar to build the project, also the previews. As I let that run to the end (takes couple of seconds on Macbook Air M1), everything was fine. No changes needed.


To test new Amazon Redshift Serverless features, create an Amazon Redshift Serverless workgroup in Preview. You can't use those features in production or move your Preview workgroup to a production workgroup. For preview terms and conditions, see Beta and Previews in AWS Service Terms.


On the navigation menu, choose Serverless dashboard, and choose Workgroup configuration. The workgroups for your account in the current AWS Region are listed. A subset of properties of each workgroup is displayed in columns in the list.


Enter properties for your workgroup. We recommend entering a name for the workgroup that indicates that it is in preview. Choose options for your workgroup, including options labeled as -preview, for the features you want to test. Continue through the pages to enter options for your workgroup and namespace. For general information about creating workgroups, see Creating a workgroup with a namespace.


I have performance issues during large import (1500 pictures) from a fast XQD-card and try to stop LR from creating preview during import. I found a checkbox on the tab "Performance" on LR-settings (edit-menu) that says "Generate prewviews in parallell" (or something like that). I uncheck the box, restart LR but LR will still combine import of pictures with the creation of preview.


Previews are necessary for Lightroom Operation - otherwise you will see blank squares for your images in the Grid. You can choose "Minimal" previews in the Import dialog and that will be the least overhead.


Yes, I understand that I need previews but the purpose of the checkbox is to control if LR create the preview after the import is done or in parallel to the import. If I have 3 memory cards that I need to clear for the next shooting, I want to speed up the import to get the memory cards back. But the process i slower when LR i creating preview during the import so I want to make this in a sequence: first import and then the previews.


All that does is stop Lightroom Classic from using unused CPU power to render more previews at the same time. Turning it on is meant to help render previews faster if you have a CPU with lots of cores. When you disable it, it just means Lightroom Classic will render previews using fewer (maybe one?) CPU core, but it will still do it.


No, it doesnt work that way. If I leave the option enabled LR imports about 100 pictures and then switch to creating preview and then back to importing and back to creating previews like a background process but this takes time and I cant get my memory card back until LR is done with the import (but it continues to create previews).


The point is that disabling the option should force LR to complete the import before the creation of preview starts. But it doesnt matter if the option is checked or not, LR starts to create preview in parallel to the import.


Adobe applications are designed for a safety first workflow, so you can copy on import to a folder structure of your choice and also save a second copy to a alternate location i.e additional hard drive. It also does not have an option to remove or delete image files from your SD card so you can ensure you have a backup in place before clearing your SD cards.


That could be a workaround, but thats not an answer to my question: why the check box doesnt work? And if the check box worked then I would t need a workaround. I think this is a bug in LR but how do I report this to Adobe?


However, a different approach (maybe you are doing this, but What if) , alter your import workflow to use the Add option instead of Copy, or Copy as DNG, before importing, copy those images to your hard drive, then start the import via ADD. This gets that memory card back to you quickest.


Yes but even if I choose minimal previews they are still created in parallell to the import. The question was why changes to the checkbox in LR-Settings "Generate previews in parallell" doesnt work. Even if I disable the option, LR still creates previews in parallel.


That option just changes creating previews in sequence to in parallel. Nothing to do with not creating previews. Selecting the option to create minimal previews cuts preview creation curing import down to just the standard ones (if the embedded are to small, and only some very new cameras have sufficient embedded images)


Using 'Explorer' or 'Finder', manually create a folder or folders with the name and in the disk location you would have used if importing directly into Lightroom Classic, then copy your files from card to the folder(s) you just created. This gets the files from your card to disk without LrC having any role in the process and is usually faster as it does not involve any preview building. When all files have been copied to disk you should launch LrC, then choose the import 'Add' option rather than 'Copy' or 'Move'. Typically, LrC will add the number of files you mention in 10-20 seconds. The process of building previews will obviously take longer than this; doesn't require your continued attendance, and won't have delayed you copying the files from card to disk.


When I insert a SD card to my computer the card is recognized by the operating system and an icon appears on the desktop indicating the connection is complete. Then I start the import process the first task starts i.e. the images are copied to the computer when that task is complete, and the building of previews begins, within a couple of seconds the SD icon on the desktop disappears indicating it has been ejected from the computer.


Yes, that sounds great and exactly what I expected to happen when I cleared the checkbox. But LR doesnt care about the state of the checkbox and no matter the setting LR creates previews in parallel to the import.


I take a lot of pictures during basketball games and after a game I have to prepare for next game. Then I have about 30 minutes to transfer about 1500-2000 pictures from the memory cards to my computer. Copying the files takes about 10 minutes but the creation of previews takes about 1,5 hours but thats another problem.


If the process was in sequence I could remove the card after 10 minutes and let the computer create previews while Im shooting the next game, no problem. But since the process are in parallel LR imports about 100 pictures, starts to create previews, switch back to copying another 100 pictures, creating more previews and Ill have to wait about 30 minutes before I can remove the memory cards. The parallel creation of previews slows the import down.


I see the card "ejected" after the copy process if the Build Previews in parallel is selected or not. Are you saying you do not experience the SD card "ejected" on your system after the copy process is complete?


No, the card is ejected if I choose that option in the import dialog. The issue is about the option that is supposed to control the process of import: filecopy + previews in a sequence or in parallel. You find the option on LR-settings from the Edit-menu on the tab for performance settings.


Recently, email preview links were changed to only be visible with a login. I would like to request a solution that brings this back. I see now that the change was made for security purposes and I recognize that I don't fully understand the use case in which these links are problematic but maybe there is a solution that could work.


We use preview links extensively internally to get feedback from people across our org on emails that are being sent out. The biggest benefit is that I can make changes in hubspot and they can refresh to immediately see those edits.


Sending email previews is not ideal as some people in the org are visual editors and prefer to see changes before making more - which ends up meaning a big back and forth for me - make changes, send preview, make changes, send preview, "can we go back to the version from email 4?", find email four and change back, etc. The process is much more streamlined and real time when I have links available.
