P: Profile does not show up in the Profile Browser

I have made a number of profiles to be used with Lightroom Classic CC. Two of them (V1 and V2) are made with the same lens and camera, just under different lighting conditions, and with the same X-rite Colorchecker Passport plugin.

Only one of them shows up in the Profile Browser; if I move V1 to a different folder and restart Lightroom, V2 shows up in the Profile Browser and vice versa.

I'm on the latest versions: Lightroom Classic CC 8.2.1 on MacOS High Sierra 10.14.4.

Is there a way to have both profiles available in the Profile Browser? Thanks.

Thanks for the confirmation. I used versioning to differentiate between experimental profiles, hence my problem.

If you use profile names ending in Adobe's profile version numbering method (v1, v2, etc.), then all but the highest number profile is put in to the legacy section (which is hidden by default).  If you don't like this feature, don't end your profile names in "v1", "v2", etc.

Hi Ad,

Thanks for reporting the issue.
We are able to reproduce it at our end.
We'll investigate it further to identify the root cause and get back to you with further details.

Thanks,
Bhargav

I'm glad you could reproduce what I had experienced and that you acknowledged this as a bug.

Furthermore, your screenshots show the Colorchecker Classic Standard V1 profile under the Legacy group and I had suppressed this group via the Manage Profiles... function in Lightroom's Profile Browser. After enabling the Legacy group I indeed found the Colorchecker Classic Standard V1 profile under that group. So the mystery of the non-appearing profile is solved, leaving only the mystery why Lightroom decides to show it in the Legacy group.

Thank you very much for your support, I now can work my way around this bug.

The two profiles are identical except for internal and filename as shown below using MS Word Compare. LR is detecting this and pushing the older file into the Legacy profile folder. They both render identically.
Are you sure you didn't create them by accident using the same CCPP image file? The other possibility is that the two "different" lighting conditions were actually close to the same color temperature and tint. Upload the two CCPP raw files used to create the V1 and V2 profiles and I'll take a look at them for differences.

UPDATE: I renamed the two profiles Colorchecker Classic Standard-1 and Colorchecker Classic Standard-2 using the X-Rite ProfileManager and now LR sees both in the Profiles folder. Next I renamed the profiles back to their original V1 and V2 names and they no longer appear together in the Profiles folder. This appears to be a bug when using the V1 and V2 descriptor in the profile name. I'll change the status for this post to 'Acknowledged.'

Please post the two camera profiles to Dropbox or other file sharing site and I'll take a look at them. What camera model raw file are you using to create them. I suggest uploading the raw file used as well. Please provide the share link(s) in a reply here. Thank you.

Even if I leave the file names alone after changing the profiles' names, the problem persists. See my experiment below. And yes, after each change I restart Lightroom.
