Bug Reports

If an image or video is missing metadata date/time fields, then LR 3.4.1 uses the file's date-modified for filtering, sorting, and pre-populating the Metadata > Edit Capture Time dialog, but it uses the file's date-created to display in the grid view. It should use date-modified consistently for all of those. (When Windows copies or restores a file, the date-modified is preserved, but date-created is usually set to "now".) This problem trips up people managing scanned images and videos, since scanners typically don't add any metadata and LR doesn't understand much video metadata.

LrDialogs.presentModalDialog - actionVerb works fine, but actionBinding is ignored. for example, if I write: local args = {} args.actionVerb = "Test" args.actionBinding = 'test' accItems[#accItems + 1] = vf:push_button { title = str:fmt( "Doesntmatter" ), action = function( button ) LrDialogs.stopModalWithResult( button, 'whocares' ) end } end args.contents = vf:column( mainItems ) - main-items not relevant. args.accessoryView = vf:row( accItems ) args.save_frame = 'testPrompt' local answer = LrDialogs.presentModalDialog( args ) then click the 'Test' button, the value returned in answer will be 'ok' - I expect it to be 'test'. Is it broken? or am I using it incorrectly???

All user develop profiles were deleted when upgrading. I also notice that the LR presets are no longer in the folder. Settings are for presets to be stored with Catalog

On one of my catalogs, folder:getChildren() is returning 0 return values for a particular folder (that is, it is executing a "return;" statement, with no value): I've optimized the catalog to no effect. If I hide the root folder "/", then the method works correctly. This may be related to these topics (or it may not): http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh... http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh...

I never know what to re-publish anymore. Most recently: I rebuilt standard previews then restarted Lightroom, now there are 9444 photos "modified" to republish (there were zero shortly before building standard previews). There are other times I go to publish new photos or honestly modified ones to find anywhere from 1 to thousands of photos in the modified to re-publish section, which hadn't been so modified. Also, marking them up-to-date is still problematic (takes multiple tries) - like in the beta. reminder: that was supposedly fixed in Lr5.2RC - it's not. Rob

Whenever I crop or straighten images in LR 5.5 my crop tool seems to jump into another "suggested" cropping. Then it jumps back to my cropping. This is very annoying and takes a lot of times when editing 1000+ images in a row ... I hope there is help. I have seen this problem in a lot of other forums aswell but there is not solution yet. I guess it's a bug that needs to be solved. Working on Mac OS X 10.9.3 (Server HD)

I have a new MacPro and upgraded to Lightroom 5 and CC Photoshop. I am having a lot of problems importing from CF cards via a Hoodman USB 3.0 card reader. I have tried different card readers and different ports. I have some movies on the CF cards (SandDisk 32GB Extreme). In the past, with LR 4 and my old Mac, I had no problem importing movies or images. Now, when I put a card in and pull up the Import dialogue, it takes forever for the previews to load and sometimes it just loads some of them and the rest are blank. I can import a few sometimes, or all sometimes, but LR ends up crashing or hanging if there are any movie files at all on my CF card. The same thing happens if I upload from my internal hard drive. In addition, if I load a previous LR catalog, it hangs and crashes everytime I open it and click on a folder with .mov in it. Through other forums, it was recommended that I try a card that has no .mov files on it and that seemed to work fine. Is there any solution to importing i

I'm having an issue with the crop tool in Lightroom 5.6. When I go to apply a crop, the picture will quickly zoom in, and then zoom back out on me for no reason. Happens consistently. It's very annoying, so if you could fix it, that would be fantastic. I'm running Mac OS 10.9.5 on a 2012 2.3 ghz i7 MacBook Pro w/ 16gb of ram.

Presently, there are many plugins that may access the catalog briefly to update it in background threads. If any other plugin tries to access it for writing at the same time there will be an error in the plugin making the denied attempt. I have solved this problem for myself, and published the solution in the SDK forum and at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/lrdev... (in a nutshell: parse error message to determine if error was in operation function or catalog accessibility, and if the latter, hold-off for a random time period between .1 and 1 second then try again, until succeed or give up...) however I'm sure not all plugin author's are accounting for this possibility, which may make them appear flaky (depending on the complement of other plugins installed), and the root of the problem being in a different plugin, makes it hard for the author of the seemingly flaky plugin to reproduce & fix... Perhaps an optional "wait-time" parameter to the with-do writing gates, and associated d

I’m creating my first Blurb book inside of Lightroom 4. There are some 175 images in my collection/filmstrip. I was about 80% complete with the book, when I selected an image to go into the Development Module for adjustments. When done I returned to the Book Module. But the book was gone! The filmstrip at the bottom of the page is there indicating images are in the book, but the book itself is empty with only a cover and two blank pages. If I add an already “used” image, the filmstrip counter goes from 1 to 2. Trying to fix this problem, I backed up and optimized my catalog. But upon restarting Lightroom no change... and no book! Any suggestions as how to get my book back? Or do I have to start over!

In Smart Collections, the rule "Capture Date is in the last n hours" doesn't work. It appears to behave as "Capture Date is today". Here's a screenshot: Image is not available LR 3.4, Windows 7

LR4.3: "Remove Chromatic Aberrations" is turned off after disabling and reenabling the lens corrections panel for more images (auto sync on), even if it was on before and on by default. I consider this to be a bug. It isn't a big problem because it can be turned on manually but it can easily be forgotten.

Lightroom SDK: LrTasks.yield is extremely slow on Windows. (its over 100 times slower on Windows than Mac - something is really amiss...) I sure hope this gets fixed soon - any plugins calling it repeatedly in a loop run like molasses in winter (on Windows).

Lightroom 4.3 on MacBook Pro Retina + Cinema Display: Cannot use Slideshow, get "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". OS X 10.8.2, 16Gb, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7. Approximately 30 seconds from installation to finding this bug.

We had this in LR2 and it disappeared in LR3. It was promised to be fixed, but as of the LR4 Beta, I still haven't seen it.

I don't see this documented anywhere, and to me it's a bug. If I have a TIFF (or JPG I guess) in Lightroom, and do an EDIT IN photoshop, using original, the image will be updated, but that image will not be marked for republish in any publishing collections in which it exists. Lightroom should check to see if the image has changed and mark it so. I realize there are some timing and synchronization issues, but the current process (which leaves it always unmarked) means published collections are falling out of date. Note it "notices" that a new preview is needed, so it should be able to also notice that "hey, and if I need a new preview and it's published, must need to republish also". I've tried this with a couple of plugins, so I assume it is systemic and not plugin specific, but have not looked at the mechanics in the SDK. Am I correct this should be handled generally, not in the plugin?

When going into Full Screen Preview mode by pressing 'F' from the Develop module the text 'No photo selected.' is shown when an adjustment has been made. Undo the the adjustment and press 'F' again. The 'No photo selected.' text is shown again. Tap the 'G' key to go back to the grid view in the Library module. Tap the 'D' key to go to the Develop module. Tap the 'F' key to go to 'Full Screen Preview' mode. No text is shown this time. Was happening in Lightroom 5.3 and in 5.4 too. I don't know if this was the case for previous versions. Running on Mac OS X.

I have a MacBook Pro Retina. OXS 10.8.4 Just loaded LR5 from a disk. Version 5.0 Camera Raw 8.1 No updates avail for either. First thing I wanted to do was "Keep in Dock" the icon/shortcut. The moment I tried to select it and move it across the bottom of the screen/reorganize it in the dock, it locked my whole computer up. A force quit on LR didn't help. Everything but cursor was frozen. I uninstalled LR5 and tried a fresh re-load. Same problem. Every time I opened LR5, and tried to move the icon in the dock, it froze. In the APP pages, I moved the icon from one page to another, and then went back to the dock. This was the ONLY time I was able to move it in the dock. every attempt after this, was a restart, to gain function to the computer again. I can video this and post it somewhere if it helps. Also, the double finger tap/"right click" feature didn't work on LR5 either, to try and add to dock or remove from dock. When everything froze, with small windows (three finger swipe up), the

When importing photos into LR5 from a memory card if you choose to import from source: "device" the thumbnails will take extremely long to populate or will not populate at all. However, if you navigate under the "files" section and choose your memory card the thumbnails populate correctly. Clearly this is a bug!

I'm working on TIFF images with 32bits depth in Lightroom 5.3 and I noticed that spot removal is not working properly on this kind of image. On 32bits image, the area where I applied the tool became noisy: On the same image converted to 16bit the area seems smooth: Another example: 32bit image: 16bit image:

When I import 7D images to desktop Lr 5.4 I default with white balance As Shot, Clarity +12, and Vibrance +10. All other exposure values are set to 0. Lr 5.4 considers the image to have no develop settings. When this image is synced to Lr Mobile I notice that the temperature and tint values do not match (e.g. 5750, +32 in desktop Lr but 5800, +21 in Lr Mobile). No adjustments have been made in either app. Furthermore, clarity and vibrance are shown as 0 in Lr Mobile but 12 and 10 in desktop Lr. I would think all values should match in either app. Lr Mobile seems to treat default develop settings in an odd way. If I try the following I get more weirdness: 1. Import photo to desktop Lr applying develop defaults. 2. Sync to Lr Mobile. Values as explained above do not show identical values. 3. Make a dramatic tint adjustment (+150) on desktop. 4. Synced photo in Lr Mobile shows the change and shows identical values in both apps. 5. Click Reset in develop module on the desktop so image has

The Lightroom 5.2 update added a bug to the Full Screen Preview mode. Previously, when in Full Screen Preview mode and you hit a quick key to enter a module (rather than exiting by hitting "F") it would simply exit the Full Screen Preview mode and enter said module without changing your screen mode, but now... Now when I exit with "F" everything is fine, but if I exit with "Esc", "D", "G", or "E" then it takes me OUT of Full Screen and into Normal. This is incredibly frustrating.

I am a professional photographer who relies heavily on LR for my digital workflow. I tether my Nikon D3 and D3x to LR frequently. I've never had an issue with tethering my cameras to LR until this past week. And, after much frustration and processes-of-elimination and testing the issue across multiple machines, I BELIEVE that the problem has to do with the latest OSX 10.6.8 update when running LR 3.4.1. You can read my initial post about this problem on Adobe forums here http://forums.adobe.com/message/37883... when I was stumped about why it was happening. Then you can see my follow-up post about this problem today here http://forums.adobe.com/message/37894... and why I think it has to do with the recent 10.6.8 update. Please feel free to contact me for anymore information. I really hope you can look into this issue. Thank you, Scott Woodward
