P: Some Copy/Paste KBSC do not work s before

Lightroom Classic 11.1

Windows 11 Pro (Build 22000.438)

 

I used to copy my development settings in LR Classic and apply them to multiple files in the library module. This doesn't work anymore after the latest upgrade. The options are grayed out in the edit menu. This seems to have been introduced when the shortcut keys changed from ctrl+shift+c to ctrl+c.

 

Steps to reproduce:

Copy develop settings.

Try pasting in library module.

 

This bug is really annoying as all develop settings have to be pasted picture by picture which means a huge timeloss.

    I am not experiencing this in my Windows 11, LrC 11.1

     

    Nothing is greyed out.

     

    Try reseting your preference file. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

    Hey Johan,

    It has nothing to do with the metadata panel or the settings there. It is about the edit/develop settings. I found that the option in the right-click context menu is actually there but in the edit menu on top it is grayed out and the shortcuts also don't work. So definitely a bug as it worked before. See screenshots.

    Kind regards,

    Helmut

    The screenshots show what's happening (if only more people posted screenshots!).  In Library mode, use the Photo > Develop Settings submenu to copy/paste/sync develop settings.  The Copy/Paste commands on the Edit menu are for copy/pasting text.

      And -as you can see from John's screenshot- the shortcuts did not change. You should still use Ctrl-Shift-C/V.

      I can't check this because I use a Mac and type this on an iPad right now, but do check the following because many people get caught by this change: Lightroom Classic now has two buttons in the metadata panel for if you have selected multiple images. One button sets the target to all selected images, the other one to the active image only. Make sure the first button is pressed.
