P: Improve control over reverse-geocoded Location metadataReleased

LR 4.1rc2 under Windows 7 x64The reverse-geocoding function of LR4 is a great feature and a potential time-saver, yet it can lead to some minor disasters.Specifically, there is currently no way to "stabilize" the location metadata that has been automatically filled by LR (displayed in gray italics). Editing any value by hand e.g. a misspelled City name, leads to all other fields (Country, State, Sublocation) being emptied - problematic when filters are effective on these fields, as the photo suddenly disappears and end up with partly missing location info.Possible remedies: when location info has been automatically filled by LR :- provide (only in such a case) a checkbox offering to "keep these values", so they can from then on be appear as 'normal' metadata, and be edited as such without some tricky behaviouror- make these auto-filled values separate from each other, allowing to edit one without discarding all the others. That would also allow the reverse-geocoding feature to work with any photo which has *some* location fields empty, not only those which have *all* (that is: Reverse-geocoding would always fill missing values, yet keeping any user-defined ones - let's assume photographers know better than Google where they have been shooting...)My preference would rather go to the first solution, as it appears to give more control without making the inner workings of reverse-geocoding too complex.

The menu items on the 'Help' menu that launch Web pages, aren't usefulReleased

Figure 1. Web page that is launched by numerous commands on the Help menu. Figure 2. The highlighted commands all go to the same website (that which is depicted in Figure 1).Hello Adobe Community,My name is Brian.  I am an astrophysicist.  I use Adobe software primarily for creating educational videos.As a user of Adobe After Effects 25.3, I went to the Help menu for help using the product. I clicked the following commands, thinking that they would lead to online Help on their related function:After Effects HelpAfter Effects Online TutorialsScripting HelpExpression ReferenceEffect ReferenceAnimation PresetsKeyboard Shortcuts ALL the commands on the Help menu, that are listed above, ALL launch the user's default Web browser (as depicted in Figure 1) and point it to:https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html This is not useful.  It is also not 100% clear why these commands are even here in the first place, if all of them simply go to the same website (as depicted in Figure 1). I call upon Adobe to either:Get rid of all the redundant menu items, and replace them with a single menu item called, for example, Adobe Support Site..., that leads to the website depicted in Figure 1; orChange the implementation of the existing menu item(s) so that each loads the appropriate, respective website containing the designated information. Thank you.
