P: After Synchronizing a LR catalog, LR should return the user to the same Session/Catalog

After Synchronizing a LR catalog, LR should return the user to the same Session/Catalog. Currently LR deselects the active catalog and the user must re-navigate to the working catalog.

 

This will speed up the workflow. I usually have dozens of sessions, each with 3-5 sub-folders, within the catalog so scrolling through them to get back to the working session is a tedious time consuming process.

Upvote if want LR to be more user friendly and faster to use.

It's as Johan advises, and a good understanding of how the Lightroom Classic Catalog functions is critical for users. See the article at the link below. It is the beginning of a series of articles available at the Lightroom Queen forum that will provide a comprehensive understanding of the Catalog data based file.

I'm not sure what you are asking for, but I think you confuse 'catalog' with something else. Lightroom Classic only uses one catalog at a time. It does not switch between catalogs all by itself.
