Question

Collection photo count doesn't increase if Collections are filtered

Lightroom Classic 14.5.1

MacBook Pro 14 M4 Pro

Tahoe 26.1

 

When Collections are filtered by a term and you drag a photo to a collection, the photo gets added but the collection photo count does not change. The collection photo count doesn't update until you remove the filter or change the filter.

 

Although i'm on Tahoe, I feel this has been a issue for a long time.

I'm not observing that in my LR 14.5.1 / Mac OS 15.7.1.  See the attached screen recording.

Unless Adobe can easily reproduce a problem, they won't pay much attention:

 

1. Please do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running and important LR options that are set.

 

2. Attach a screen recording (not a phone video) of the entire LR window so we can see the precise steps and symptoms (including the entire window often reveals important clues):

Thanks for trying, of course when I went to make a video it's not happening at the moment. Next time I see this happen i'll make a video. It's not a dealbreaker, just more of an annoyance.

I recalled a similar bug reported in LR 9.0 when filtering collections by color label:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-photo-count-on-collection-doesn-t-update-while-in-color-label-filter-view/idi-p/12662965

 

The bug was never marked as resolved, but I can't reproduce that one either.
