P: Tone Curve Enabled not copied by Sync, Auto Sync, Presets, Snapshots

[All the problems with the tone curve toggle switch not getting copied by Copy/Paste Settings, Auto Sync, Sync, Snapshots, and SDK's photo:getDevelopSettings() were fixed in 7.4.  Adobe has decided not to fix the problem with presets:

[See this post for a precise recipe for reproducing the bug: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/pv2012_snapshots_not_saving_tonecurveenable_s... 

Also, the SDK method photo:getDevelopSettings() fails to return the parameter "EnableToneCurve", which is surely a symptom of the same underlying bug. See:

--John Ellis]

I created a snapshot, made some adjustments, then selected the snapshot, but it looked different than when I took it.Traced it to the ToneCurveEnable setting which was disabled when I took the snapshot, but enabled after selecting the snapshot further on down the road.Note: ToneCurveEnable setting is not in the develop settings when read by plugins/SDK either - I'm guessing there's a connection.This bug was logged a long time ago (against Lr3), but not fixed.Adobe: Please acknowledge this bug and fix in next release, OK?

    LR 7.4 fixed all the problems reported here with Copy/Paste Settings, Auto Sync, Sync, Snapshots, and the SDK's photo:getDevelopSettings().  If you're still experiencing problems with the Tone Curve toggle switch not getting copied correctly, do Help > System Info to verify that you have 7.4 or later installed.  If you do, best to  start a new topic with details of what you're doing and what you're observing.

    WOW is this really happening? I'm using Tone Curve for muted blacks and an S-curve for ALL my photos, and I do sync settings often and Auto-Sync when editing. I have to take a closer look on this going forward, sounds terrible!

    I think it boils down to this after hearing back from engineering, John.  As-designed as-suspected.

    Newly created Presets will not have a panel switch referenced when saved and we will write with no values for that panel into the saved preset.

    Older Presets where the panel switch  was toggled off will have to be recreated.

    If we deviate from this it is a bug.

    I've updated the thread and filed a bug John but as ACR and Lightroom now share presets and ACR has no mechanism for Panel disabling, I do not know if it will come back as 'as-designed'

    That's right.  The fields representing the state of the panel toggle switches are internally named EnableToneCurve, EnableEffects, EnableDetail, etc. Copy/paste and sync of develop settings correctly copy the state of those settings, but LR 7.3 broke that for presets:

    Are you talking about the Toggle Switch for enabling or disabling the Tone Curve panel, John?

    LR 7.4 fixes the problem with Copy/Paste Settings, Auto Sync, Sync, Snapshots, and the SDK's photo:getDevelopSettings().

    Unfortunately, presets still don't capture the setting of EnableToneCurve.

    Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.4 was released earlier today and should have a fix for this issue. Give it a try and let us know if you continue to see this problem. Thank you for your patience!
