P: Folder Favorite Setting Cannot Be Changed

I deleted all rows in the table AgLibraryFolderFavorite in the .lrcat database and it removed all my favorites.  Success.

Very helpful, thanks !

@John_R_Ellis I was able to clear the unwanted Favorite folders. I did it by randomly selecting multiple Favorite folders, unmarking, marking again, making a different selection.

This way I eventually was able to clear all folders.

Can you provide a screenshot showing the folders panel and then of the source dropdown in the filmstrip?  Or better, a screen recording?  (Upload to Youtube, Dropbox, or similar and post the sharing link here.)

For me this worked for a couple of folders.

Some other folders are still marked as favorite, but do not list in the Filmstrip dropdown.

Calling it “Clumsy” is probably being too kind!  The UI for this definitely needs a redo.   😊

Thanks, Robert. I finally found what you were talking about and it works as you explained. The interface is clumsy but functional. Thanks again.

Apparently you have no groups or they would show in the same dropdown

Ben's main point was that to unfavor just one folder when several were favored as a group, you must remember which folders were in the group and for that Lightroom offers no help.

I see in the dropdown that I can make visible only my favorite folders but I don't see how to identify groups of favorites. Until I better understand the feature, I'll not be using it.

I disagree with Ben’s recommendation to not use the favorite folder feature.  Selecting 2 folders and favoriting them creates a “Group” which is handy.  You can see and select and manage  favorites and favorite groups using the drop down on the toolbar.  As @John_R_Ellis said,  it is a poor design, but the feature is useful once you understand the oddball design of the interface.
