P: Library Previews not updating

This hasn't ever happened to me previously and I edit hundreds of images a day, as a wedding photographer. Has only appeared since latest update (so far as I've seen). 

Edit an image in Develop mode, normally the thumbnail at the bottom would auto update with the new preview/look. It doesn't anymore. Go to Library mode to check, no, no update to the preview, it's still the old look. Force rebuild standard preview (and 1:1 preview) no effect. The Library preview will not update to the new look created in Develop mode. 

Quit LR, then restart it, the preview is updated. 

Even did a Sync of one process, which was converting to BW across 5 images. Four of the images changed profile to the new look, the 1st image in the group didn't. Stuck with previous old version of the look. Quit and restart LR it changed to new look. 

MacOSX 10.15.7

    I am having same issues as the OP. Changes made in Develop module are not reflected in Library module. Discarding 1:1 preview in Library does not force it to update the preview. Only started happening since recent LR update.

     

    Furthermore, any changes made using Quick Develop in Library module do nothing. I have to jump into Develop to see any changes made using quick develop in Library. This is bad.

     

    Maybe you should pull off this update until a fix is found instead of asking everyone to revert to previous versions. It took me a day of pulling my hair with this issue before I found this thread.

      See the correct answer at the top of this thread for a workaround.

      Lightroom ll.3.1, Windows 11. Lately, the Library module does not show the changes I make in the Develop module, e.g., crop, tone control etc.

      I just want to confirm the last release brought a oproblem in the library module: canges to an image does not appear in the thumbnail. Furthermore ant changes made in the Develppment module takes some "back and forth" actions from Library to Development before the changes are visible.

      Other then that a copy setting / paste setting does not work properly in the library module because the changes are applied but without updating the thumbmails. 

      Like someone suggested i bring LR classic to the 11.2 version and everythings working as before. So it's a bug i think. MS Windows 10 regularily updated

        Adobe has acknowledged this bug.  Rolling back to LR 11.2 is the only known reliable workaround.

          I edited my WB temperature and Tone Curve on one image in the LR Classic Develop Module, then first left-clicked (Windows 10 PC) on the edited image, then held the CTRL button down while clicking on another image in the 'filmstrip' at the bottom (which I desire edited the same way), then clicked the "Sync ..." button.

          The WB temperature DID synchronize to the second image, BUT the Tone Curve did NOT (even though both boxes were checked-off in the Sync menu prior to hitting the Sync... button. I'm new to LR Classic. I'd used LR4 for many, many years and never had this occur. Would appreciate receiving a 'fix'. Thanks in advance.

          Do the menu command Help > System Info. Are you on LR 11.3 or 11.3.1?  They have a bug where Library and filmstrip thumbnails aren't properly updating after you make changes to their develop settings:

          Thank you very much for your quick reply, johnrellis.  I'm on LR 11.3.1.   One thing I forgot to explicitly mention is that the image files I'm working with were first edited in LR 4(.8?);  I keep them on an external HD (and have a backup external HD) and detached those HDs from my old PC (Windows 7, LR 4(.8?) and plugged them into my new PC (Windows 10, LR Classic 11.3.1).  This is the first time I've attempted editing them in LR 11.3.1.

           

          Thanks for the link.  Several people are having issues similar to mine; however, for whatever reason, I don't seem to be having the problem today (knock on wood).  As a test, I made edits to one image (White Balance temp, contrast, saturation and tone curve (highlights and shadows).  I then held down Ctrl and selected every-other image for 2 images (i.e., total of  original and 2 additional images selected), skipped an image and then selected the next two images adjacent to each other (now having a total of the original image and 4 additional images selected).  I hit 'Sync..." and the first 3 of the 4 additional images selected (displayed in the filmstrip) had their previews updated to match the original, but not the 4th.  I used the arrow keys to jump between the images (starting with the original, then moving 'right'), checking the slider positions and tone curve appearance.  When I got to the last (4th) edited image, the preview changed to match the others and the sliders and tone curve matched the others.  For whatever reason, that last image's preview hadn't updated (unless it never was updated with the sync until I moved over that image with the 'right' arrow key ...). 

           

          After all I've gone through to get my new computer updated with the new software and getting my LR catalogs recognized/updated by the new LR, I sure wasn't planning to have to deal with a software glitch.  I will keep you informed of developments as I get more experience with this setup, editing more images.  Thanks again.

          Google transation: "if I edit a photo in the reveal module of lightroom and then I want to see it in the library module, it appears without the edits I just made. If I close the program and reopen it then these editions do appear in the library module."

           

          @antonio rasero balón, roll back to LR 11.2 while waiting for Adobe to fix this.

          Buenas a ver si me podeis ayudar, si edito una foto en el modulo revelar de lightroom y luego la quiero ver en el modulo biblioteca me aparece sin las ediciones que acabo de hacerle. Si cierro el programa y lo vuelvo a abrir entonces estas ediciones si aparecen en el modulo biblioteca. Gracias.

          Exactly. I'm facing the exact same issues with 11.3 and I am very glad that rollback to 11.2 is so easy and I can work with LR.

          Adobe has to come up with a fix asap though.

           

          I also have the feeling that 11.2 runs snappier. Under 11.3 I sometimes heard the fans of my M1 Pro Macbook, which I never do on 11.2.

          Just use older version meanwhile they correct this version, 11.2 has the
          same functionalities and doesnt have this bug. Don't reinstall 11.3.

            I'm having the same issue with the Loupe View window randomly not refreshing in the Develop window in Lightroom Classic 11.3.1 - using Windows 11. This is very frustrating. I uninstalled and re-installed Lightroom and this didn't resolve the issue. This should be raised as a critical bug with the development team and be addressed ASAP. I've used Lightroom for years and never encountered this issue before.
