Bug Reports

I regularly use the 'export this folder as a catalog' feature to make catalog backups of certain subsets of my pictures. My naming convention has always been in the form of YYYMMDD.HHmmWith LightroomCC version 2015/9 (OS X version) I noticed that Lightroom now truncates the catalog name used after the dot, so it becomes 'YYYYMMDD'. This also happens when creating a new catalog through the File->New Catalog menu.Is there a reason that this restriction on the catalog name has been introduced?

The capability to use larger sample sizes with the White Balance Eyedropper tool was implemented in LR4:http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh...This capability is no longer working properly in LR 5, 6, or CC 2015 and uses a fixed 5x5 pixel sample area regardless of 'Scale' or Zoom View settings. Please see the following test images for clarification. Tested with Windows 7 SP1.

After upgrading to Lightroom 6.10 I can no longer export from my DNG files to JPG format (used for Flickr). Flickr reports the JPG files (most of them) are "not an image file". Have done this numerous times before, with versions prior to LR 6.10. Cannot decipher what it is that make some exported JPGs corrupt - some work, some don't. Appears to be a bug.

Lightroom CC 2015.2 does not import new images with "Synchronize folder" unless "Show import dialog before importing" is ticked and imported that way. It does show that there are X new images to import, but just gives "No photos or videos were found to import." dialog after pressing "Synchronize". Using Windows 10 and images are on a mapped network drive.This has worked fine with all previous versions dating back to LR 3 or so when I started using it and definitely still with 2015.1.1 yesterday.

Why it is not possible to publish photos through Lightroom publishing service to Facebook Page anymore. Under the publish service setup there is no more option to choose Facebook Page albums or timeline album. Only my personal Facebook page albums are available.

If you change an existing GPS image direction and do Metadata > Save To File, the new direction doesn't get saved.  (LR CC 2015.10.1 / OS X 10.12.5)To reproduce:1. Select a photo that has GPS coordinates but no GPS image direction:2. Do Metadata Save To File and use ExifTool to verify that EXIF:GPSImgDirection is not present:2. Change the direction to East:3. Do Metadata > Save To File and verify that East was written to the file:4. Change the direction to South:5. Do Metadata > Save To File and discover that East is still in the file, not South:

Add the ability to remove the smart preview from the hard drive. When I delete a folder from a library that I do not need, the smart previews remain on the disk.

viewFactory:simple_list() freezes if it is initially disabled when the dialog first starts and then enabled later as the result of a user action.  This happens on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, with CC 2015.10.1 and 5.7.1.  It doesn't occur on OS X.   To reproduce: 1. Run the following script: local LrBinding = import 'LrBinding'local LrDialogs = import 'LrDialogs'local LrFunctionContext = import 'LrFunctionContext'local LrView = import 'LrView' local bind = LrView.bindlocal f = LrView.osFactory() LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext ("", function (context)     local prop = LrBinding.makePropertyTable (context)    prop.cb = false     local items = {}    for i = 1, 10 do table.insert (items, {title = i, value = i}) end     local controls = f:column {bind_to_object = prop,        spacing = f:control_spacing (),        f:checkbox {title = "Enable simple list", value =

You are in grid view showing several pictures, let’s say 20, and none is rated with stars.     Sort by rating: View -> Sort -> Rating View -> Sort -> Ascending   Use the scroll bar to show the first cell.   Set the painter tool to paint 3 stars.   Paint one cell, let’s say, the 10th cell.   PROBLEM: sometimes it paints 2 or 3 cells instead of one.   It becomes more evident using the Wacom tablet pen.   Using the mouse produces the error doing this: click and hold the mouse button pressed on a cell, now move a little the pointer.  If you do this, all the cells will be painted.

having trouble getting pictures to upload to Facebook. i allowed access but i can't drag and drop them. also would like to upload albums not one post per picture.

After installing 2015.8, I can no longer access Auto Import Settings from the File menu.  Is this a new bug?

It started out of nowhere today. I restarted the program, I checked for updates and updated the software. I have only one photo selected, but when I click P on my keyboard to flag an image, it flags the image that is immediately after the one I have selected, in addition to the selected image.

A couple of versions ago, after the update, I realised that the develop sliders had shrunk. I thought it was a GUI design change until I switched to English. It was a surprise to discover that in my language the sliders are a lot smaller. I'd get it if it was because of a long caption that needed more space (as it is in Temperature) but as you can see in the screenshots provided, there's a huge amount of free space that is not needed for the caption. No need to say I haven't touched the panels width.I was waiting till the next update hoping this was fixed but in this last release it's not done yet.Spanish version.English version.

When you create a metadata preset using Save Current Settings As New Preset, LR incorrectly rounds the coordinates of the selected photo to the nearest second before saving them in the preset.   When the preset is applied to another photo, it will get the rounded coordinates, rather than the original.    On average, this can result in the second photo being about 17m / 55' away from where it should be.Tested in LR CC 2015.10 / OS X 10.12.3.To reproduce:1. In the Map module, select a photo A in the filmstrip.2. Paste these coordinates into the Metadata > Location > GPS field:37.899630, -119.221138(which is 37° 53' 58.668" N, 119° 13' 16.0968" W).3. In the Preset dropdown, select Edit Presets.4. Do Check None and then check the box to the right of GPS.5. Save the preset as "Test GPS".6. In the filmstrip, select another photo B and apply the metadata preset Test GPS.7. Zoom in the map all the way and observe that photo B is about 12m from photo A.8. Open the file "Tes

Hi, Lightroom 4 beta seems great so far (I'm an LR3 user), but the maps feature (which I'm most excited about) exhibits perplexing behaviour when searching for a specific lat/long in non-urban areas. Repro steps:   Paste the following lat/long (-27.033813,153.465791) into the maps.google.com UI and search. Google maps places 2 markers on the map: a green arrow showing the actual position (a helipad on Moreton Island, Australia)   a red blob showing the nearest house (in a resort on the same island but 18 kilometres away).   Paste the same lat/long into the Lightroom 4 beta "maps" module search and note that LR4beta is treating the nearest house as the result, not the actual lat/long (i.e. the helipad).   Note that repeating these steps for an urban lat/long (e.g. the position of your house) produces very accurate results. This may be a limitation with the google maps API, but it is an unexpected (and unwanted behaviour). Entering a lat/long should take you to th

Only noticed this since last update to 2015.10 - when in Develop module, press F for full-screen view of current image.Press F to toggle back to Develop, then arrow to next or previous image - Loupe Info at top left doesn't display Info 1 or Info 2 details, only filename. Pressing I to toggle the Loupe Info display cycles through again. Have restarted LR & system - can reproduce issue.

I am using Lightroom CC 2015.10 and Mac OS 10.12.4, but I think that this behavior has been present forever in Lightroom for Macintosh.Lightroom "closes" the text box for all metadata when the focus is changed from Lightroom. This is different behavior than almost all other applications on Macintosh, which close the text box when an enter or carriage return (or mouse click) moves the focus out of the box. This makes it very difficult to copy and paste metadata from other programs into Lightroom.My major problem is that I use a 3d party clipboard manager (Keyboard Maestro). I load up a number of text strings into different "clipboards" and I want to paste from them into Lightroom. But the moment I choose a clipboard to paste from, Lightroom loses focus, and closes the text box, so that the paste fails. I have to go back to LR, click on the text box, paste using the Lightroom internal command-V. This is different than every other program I own, and a big frustration.But here is a frustra

I'm on the latest Lightroom CC and OS Sierra and I have found that Lightroom is not automatically detecting my CF card when inserted. I have the auto detect box ticked etc and my card reader is a Lexar USB 3, any ideas?

When using the new face detection functionality in LR CC, "Named People" are represented in People view as a thumbnail, which, along with the name iyself, includes the total number of images associated with that person. However, once the number of images exceeds 100, the thumbnail display truncates the number so that the last digit isn't shown, e.g. 254 becomes 25... If you hover your cursor over the thumbnail then the full value (e.g. 254) is displayed. This is on Windows 7. Looks like a definite bug to me.

List of Lightroom 4.2 export presets column in the export dialog pop up window is way too narrow. It should be wider. Either user controlled via dragging or otherwise. Currently it cuts off after about 22 characters. This is more than annoying if you have a list of presets with meaningful names. The only way to see the full name of the preset is to go to the renaming option. Not good if you want to manage many presets. I can't understand the "why" either since the total window is not large and being able to resize column widths is commonplace in even the simplest applications. Is there any way to configure this? If it cant be solved right away this should be a feature request.

When raw files are imported into light room with auto tone applied on import, when added to a collection and edited on light room mobile, the files have Full negative values in all adjustments .

I just left LR idle for a few hours and came back to find my 32GB machine 100% memory with 100% disk due to paging with Lightroom being the culprit.If I open up System Info from the Preferences->Performance->Camera RAW section, I can watch the "Real memory used by Lightroom" increasing continuously while LR is idle.Background:Just upgraded to standalone 6.8. Was previously using LR4 with no problems, but needed new camera RAW support. I built this machine myself and it has been rock solid and a great performer for 2 years. I use it for software development running linux in a virtual machine to do heavy multi-core compilation and to run compute intensive multi-threaded/multi-core applications for IC design. Never a problem.OS: Win7 ProCPU: Quad core i5-3570MB: Asus p8z77-v proDisk: 8TB configured as a 3T RAID5 array, 4T standalone and 256G SSDMemory: 16GB just upgraded to 32GB.

Collection name can enter string multiple lines. but, only first line appears on root collection set tree.This must be bug and fix it ether way.1. Inhibit multi-line collection name.2. Multi-line collection names are ok, appear it to collection trees.

mts and m2ts video plays in lightroom 4, but without sound/audio. is this a known bug?

When you Metadata->Export Keywords... from one catalog and then Metadata->Import Keywords... into another catalog the keywords in the new catalog that originally had all the export options unchecked now have the "Export Synonyms" and the "Export Containing Keywords" boxes checked in the new catalog. This means that potentially a lot of previously private information can be published without any warning. The only way you can accurately replicate you Keyword List to a second catalog is to export the whole master catalog and delete all the images from the exported copy.
