Each Preset is displayed in individual groups instead of nested

I have over 1500 presets but after update to LRC v12 (Windows 11) all presets appear in individual groups instead of nested.


I deleted all the presets to identify the problem, imported them and they are still the same.


I deleted them again, and created new presets, even though I use the same group when I create them, LRC generates a new group with the same name. So in the presets panel they are shown in separate groups.

 

And this is the same for the Premium presets that are installed by default with LRC.

 

I spent all day looking for a solution and found nothing (by the way the solution editing the XMP file crs:Cluster="XX name" does not work in this case).

 

Any help is much appreciated, Thanks a lot!

Start by resetting the preferences: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

I think it's unlikely that all of a sudden all your presets have been changed somehow.

    The grouping looks fine in the XMP to me also, so this is probably the best approach.

    Agreed that resetting preferences is a good next step.

     

    Also, have you been changing the language that LR runs in, e.g. from English to Danish?  There is another bug where LR gets confused about the special group name "User Presets" when LR is run in another language -- it's possible that there is a more general bug you're tripping over.

      Attach here the .xmp files for the presets User 1 and User 2 in the "Christian" groups. I can see if there's anything unusual in their contents and whether the problem occurs when I import them into my LR.

       

      Also, is the setting Preferences > Presets > Store Presets With This Catalog checked or unchecked?

        Hi John

        Thank you for your support. Please find attached the  XMP files.

         

        The option "Store Presets With This Catalog" is unchecked.

         

        By the way, today I tried Camera Raw in Adobe Photoshop (to see if the same problem happened, but no), all the LrC presets are organized perfectly by groups.
