P: Unable to advance to the next photo

Why no one writes about the fact that in develop mode, after any manipulation with a photo, it is impossible to go to the next photo in the feed? You go, but the photo remains the same as it was, you have to go back and only then go to the next photo. This is a global problem!!  Anyway, I did some research and I realized why many people are silent about it, because this problem occurs only when using the +\- buttons on any keyboard, even on macbook !!!!. If you use only mouse or touchpad, there is no problem with photo transition. That's why many photographers don't pay attention to it, because they don't use the keyboard. Therefore, ADOBE does not react in any way.

Nach dem Update auf Lightroom Classic 13.0.1 habe ich unter MAC OS 14.1.0 Probleme im Entwicklungsmodus.
Beim Wechsel zwischen Bildern über die Pfeiltasten bleibt die Vorschau beim letzten Bild hängen. Um die Vorschau zu aktualisieren muss wieder ein Bild zurück und erneut vor gegangen werden. 

Ist das Problem und dessen Lösung bekannt?

Beste Grüße

Dear friends, ADOBE is currently working on fixing the bug and will soon have the expected update, so please wait a bit longer. On page 10, I described how to temporarily bypass this problem through CAPSLOCK, this solution works 100%, my processing speed has not slowed down. So just follow my advice and stop writing the same thing here. I understand that it is very annoying, but just wait.

Given Adobe's lack of response to this "feature" that makes LrC difficult for us professional users...

I've resorted to making a macro shortcut on my programmable keyboard, when its in Lightroom, when I hit the next arrow key, it does the "right, left, right" with 50ms delay to get past the non-display "feature".... 

Ridiculous.

Welcome to this thread.  To save you from sifting through everything, the lowdown is that there are hundreds of posts here by users frustrated and hindered by this bug, the issue is widespread and easily reproducible, yet it's been over a month and Adobe hasn't issued a fix.  Draw your own conclusions about whether Adobe is user-centric when they add advanced features but break very basic, core functionality that many of us rely on every day... and don't appear to make it a priority to fix the problem.

And people think it's "normal" to keep using these workarounds with shortcuts to do something as simple as moving forward in the Develop mode. It's the most basic function. There's no way to work productively with version 13.01. Many of us are using 12.5. There isn't any new function in version 13 that justifies so many problems.

Hey, Adobe...I can't believe this  bug is not still solved. After weeks of your users and customers complain here. 
Shame on you. You are really unbelievable during those years I am a Lightroom users. So many problems, bugs, performance issues...even now in 2023 I can't tell that Lightroom is quick software....still when switching between library module and develop module is slow..waiting to retracing all the sliders, tables over and over again. I just don't understand how you work there. I can see you put some great features but if you can't solve the bone basics...what can I think about you?

Recently when I'm editing with Lightroom in the Develop mode I've noticed that using the keyboard arrows to advance to the next image isn't working properly. I have to right click my mouse a couple of times on the fringe area to get to the next frame with the keyboard arrow. This happens almost everytime I try to go to the next image. Very annoying and really slows the workflow down. I'm curious if anyone else is having this issue. Thanks for your comments.

Workarounds using Custom Mouse Button Actions

For Logitech Mouse Users: If you have a Logitech mouse with smart actions, here's a workaround I've been using. You can set up a keystroke for any custom button. Personally, I use the "next" button on my mouse to trigger a sequence of smart actions. Here’s how I do it:

  1. Assign the "next" button (or any other custom button) to a keystroke.
  2. Set up the keystroke to mimic the following sequence: Right key, Left key, Right key, with a 0.2s delay between each press.

 

For Non-Logitech Mouse Users: Don't worry if you don't have a Logitech mouse! You can achieve similar functionality using software like "Better Touch Tool" or "Keyboard Maestro". Here's a quick guide:

  1. Install either "Better Touch Tool" or "Keyboard Maestro" on your system.
  2. Create a custom keystroke sequence similar to the one mentioned above for the Logitech mouse.
  3. Assign this keystroke to a preferred button or a keyboard shortcut.

These tools are incredibly versatile and can help you customize your workflow, regardless of the mouse or keyboard you use.

 

The workaround generates little delay, but it's more stable in my case.

Hi Matias. Welcome to the party. To find the solution you will have to painstakingly search through all 12 pages of this thread for the correct workaround, or you will be chastised by the one or two users who posted a slightly-better-than-nothing-but-still-poor solution for not wasting your time combing through the dozens of non-working suggestions, including the one Adobe mistakenly highlighted as the "correct" one. Anyways, to save you some time, the current best workaround is to go into the library module and then enable Photo -> Auto Advance. You can now use the P key in the develop module to proceed to the next photo. Depending on your current workflow, this may be extremely disruptive, as it sets your current photo as a "pick," or it may work fine for the time being. I find it to be incredibly distruptive to my current workflow but nobody has suggested a better workaround so far. For whatever insane reason Adobe will not pin this single usable workaround, instead continuing to insist that the issue has something to do with Smart Previews, which, as has been noted six thousand times in this thread, is not the culprit.

I click the picture with the mouse. I have Logitech MX 3 with extra buttons, I bind "X" and "P" keys on the mouse buttons, so I pick/reject photos with the mouse buttons. And as I have a mouse in my hand anyway it is not a big deal for me to click the previous image. That might not be true for other people with their own habits.
