[Leica] LR4 repeated crashes

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Herb,

I'm not a mac or LR user, but, I have had similar experience with Windows XP 
and PS Elements, when I try to import very large numbers of images in one 
batch.

I copy files from my camera to a separate folder, in my case, on a dedicated 
hard drive.  Then, I can import 20 or 30 images, work them, save the 
results, and start with another batch.  I suspect that the amount of 
computer memory available could have an impact.

Just a thought.
