MBP Vega, I9, 32GB System has run out of application memory

[MacDonaldTrump]

Just importing images into Lightroom, left the computer to do it's thing came back to find this error

It is a clean install of Mojave, I reinstalled as I was having a bunch of error 36 copying files etc.
Anyone know what this is/how to fix?
Thanks

What does activity monitor say?

It's probably the dreaded Apple file caching...

Dreaded file caching? What's that? Is it a Mojave issue?

I never had any issues with my 8GB iMac or my MBP with 16GB

Couple of users reported running out of memory when processing through a lot of photos, because macOS caches all files and for a photo library, that's a lot of data.

Not sure whether its Mojave or not; since I don't have such big photo libraries and I have a couple of libraries to begin with for each device

This is how it looked when I came back,
Not sure the problem that occurred may still be showing in activity monitor when I came back.

I was trying a new plugin in Lightroom (aperture importer plugin) it looked painfully slow, this process and Lightroom had both quit/crashed when I came back.

I wonder if that was the cause, I used that plug-in but that was designed for an older version of LR. I don't know if Adobe has been updating that plugin as they released new versions of LR.

With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Mojave bug

I doubt it's a Mojave bug, since this message has been around for many years. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/your-system-has-run-out-of-application-memory.1594921/

I suspect the hard drive is full. Lightroom is using so much memory processing the photos that the computer has filled up the swap space on the drive. Either run smaller batches of photos or install a larger drive.

I found that plugin was very slow, instead chose to show package contents of aperture library and manually import from the masters.

I was dot cleaning every day, did not fix the problem trying to copy from various drives/various files. A user in another thread suggested CCCloner which was the solution. I then clean installed Mojave to try to clean things up, I'm using a 5TB drive for my masters and so far my library is 3TB, still have 2TB free (the files I was importing were only 200GB) Have imported much larger files without ever seeing this error.
