P: AI Masks Require updating and/or disappear

@jrsforums 
When using Loupedeck do you see the modal progress scope for update Ai settings?
I.e. this one:

If not then it's like @johnrellis said and at Loupedeck they didn't update the code.

.

@jrsforums What Loupedeck hardware are you running? I am using the Loupedeck+ but given the issues with 14.4/5 I have been very wary about updating thus far.

I am aware that Loupedeck was bought by Logitech and have not updated my Loupedeck software to the latest versions because of countless horror stories discussed on Facebook Loupedeck support groups. Therefore I remain on LR 14.5.1 and Loupedeck 5.9.1.19365 (incidentally a truly ridiculous public facing version number...)

@C.Cella Are you using a Loupedeck or Logi keypad?  If I select a preset directly on LRc, it executes the AI.  If I set up a button on Loupe/Logi to run the preset, the preset is loaded (history, check boxes, etc) but the 'update AI' button turns orange/yellow indicating need to execute.

if you are using Loupedeck and it works for you, how are you setup?

i am on latest software on Loupe/Logi software and LRc (Loupedeck) profile.  If 

@jrsforums you say"lack of execution of LRc AI presets (supplied or created)"

I don't see this issue.

All Ai presets are immediately computed.

I get missing Ai only in case of failed detection as usual.

Can you please provide the steps you are doing when seeing the issue ?

EDIT
Sorry I initially quoted the wrong user.

@talented_warmth0396 JRE explain the changes to the SDK that Adobe clearly announced to the world.  You have not explained your problem in detail.  If it is not what I or JRE describe, please let us know exactly what your problem is and/or how it is different.  

while paranoia and conspiracy theories can be real, I would need an understanding of who you think Adobe would gain an advantage to hurt Loupedeck or Logitech.  They do not compete for the same products and Loupedeck/Logi success with Lightroom would only help increase more users of LRc

EDIT:  BTW....while the lack of execution of LRc AI presets (supplied or created) is annoying, I have reduced the problem by implementing a KB shortcut on the Loupedeck to update AI setting as needed.

In LR 13.3 (May 2024), LR's SDK for plugins added an additional parameter "updateAISettings" to the method photo:applyDevelopPreset().  If the parameter is false (the default), the preset is applied to the photo but AI settings are not updated; if true, then the AI settings are updated. Prior to LR 13.3, photo:applyDevelopPreset() would never update AI settings.

Evidently, Logitech and Loupedeck haven't updated their plugins in the year-and-half since then to take advantage of the new SDK feature.

It's not a bug in Louoedeck. It's a "bug," or I almost suspect it was intentionally created by updates to Lightroom Classic or a Camera Raw update. Unfortunately, I suspect Adobe deliberately implemented these limitations.

@talented_warmth0396 loupedeck/Logi did not properly code the API for presets, so AI settings are set, but not executed.  I have submitted to Logi and they are , supposedly, looking at.  I have not seen any error notice because of this (other that the orange/yellow update button).....but as I think about it, I tried for AI profile and Denise, not masking.

EDIT:  just tried one of Adobe's sky mask presets....same problem....set, but needs pressing of update button

User presets, with AI Mask, on a shortcur on Loupedeck. --> AI mask error 

Loupedeck (CT & Live) works just fine for me (sw 6.2.1)

what is "ki mask"?
