P : Selected Published Folder or Collection is not deselected if a folder is selected

Maybe they are still looking for the correct algorithm ? Let's help them a little (we are already doing the job of the quality assurance dpt. for free, we can certainly donate a little more of our time) :

- In Library mode, in the left panel, when giving the focus to another section (Catalog, Folders, Collections or Publish services), memorize the selected item in the current section and de-select it.

- In the panel section that has just been given the focus, retrieve the last selected item and select it.

Should work in Solo Mode. In non Solo mode, focus could be given when hovering a section.

That's it. No more 2 simultaneously selected items in the left panel. Don't bother Adobe, it's free advice. No invoice sent and the job can be done by a summer student (although I'm not ready to wait until yet another summer to get a fix).

Yep, having the same issue here in LR 8.0. Very inconvenient to have to keep clicking other collections first to because one is already selected and doesn't allow to switch to it from a folder. 

How long before we can get a fix? A couple years? Four?

Thanks.

Not fixed in LR 8.

A note for the developers :

But I guess that managing a finite state machine using LUA can be a challenge.

I have reopened the bug John. 

The problem started happening again with me on LR 7.5 / Macos 10.13.6.  See this screen recording:

Not fixed on 7.4 running on Windows 7 x64.

Also, I'm almost sure that there's a relationship with the bug reported here :

As mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm using Windows.

The following screen capture made in LR 7.4 shows that it is still possible to have a folder and a collection simultaneously selected in the Library module, exactly as before :

It should not be that difficult to add a step in the folder/collection tree management code : when a click is received, wherever it happens, first deselect the currently selected object . I certainly wouldn't need 3 years to achieve this. IMHO, there's a big UI design flaw here.

It's easy to reproduce. I followed the same steps as Jetze.

Hi Sumeet,

Please remove the Solved tag as the latest post from Jetze demonstrates that the problem is still there with version 7.4.
