P: Desktop: All edits done, lost.

This is a know bug, so next time search this forum first before posting a question. There is a bug in Lightroom desktop where you lose edits if you quit Lightroom with the edited image still in full view. To save your edits while this bug has not been solved, either go back to the grid before you quit Lightroom, or switch to another image.

I'm no whiz on technology and I hope I'm doing something wrong.

Lately after I take the time to edit a photo, save it to my computer and then go back to LR an hour or so (sometimes a day) later, it's the original photo.  Like, with no editing done.  

So, if I wanted to touch up the edited photo in the future, I'd have to start all over with the original.

Anyone else having this situation that could offer a little help?  Thanks!

Merging to an existing thread to better track this issue.

We are aware of this issue and are working on a fix. For now, after editing,  if you move to another image before you quit Lightroom you edits will be saved. It also works to move to another view. (Grid, Detail, etc.)

I'm merging your post with an existing thread to better keep track of this issue.

Google Translate: 

Wir sind uns dieses Problems bewusst und arbeiten an einer Lösung. Wenn Sie nach dem Bearbeiten vor dem Beenden von Lightroom zu einem anderen Bild wechseln, werden die Änderungen vorerst gespeichert. Es funktioniert auch, um zu einer anderen Ansicht zu wechseln. (Gitter, Detail usw.)

Ich füge Ihren Beitrag mit einem vorhandenen Thread zusammen, um dieses Problem besser im Auge zu behalten.

Jegliche Bearbeitung meiner Fotos wird nicht mehr gespeichert. Ich muss immer wieder neu beginnen. Woran liegt das?

Google Translate: 

Any editing of my photos will no longer be saved. I always have to start over. Why is that?

There is a known bug that you lose edits if you quit Lightroom when the edit window is still active. Switch to another photo or switch to the grid before you quit Lightroom.

I was performing some edits this morning which were then lost. 

The only thing I was doing differently from my usual workflow was adding these photos to two albums instead of one. 

It happened again this afternoon, I pasted edit settings to a picture and flagged as picked. I then went to the album, filtered for picked photos and the edits were not there.

Thanks! Not a Lightroom user, so I didn't know that!

Yes, this is a known bug, not only in the M1 version, but also in the Mac Intel version. Adobe will no doubt fix it in an update. In the meantime, either move to another image or switch back to the grid before the quit Lightroom.

@dgrainger, there is no save option in Lightroom, so that is not the problem.

Do you do a Save before quitting?
