Flags are not working, latest version

Hi everyone,

I've imported a batch of photos into my Lightroom Classic CC catalog, but I've noticed that flags don't seem to be working anymore. In particular, I use eject and pick. The keyboard shortcut "x" pops up saying the photo is rejected, but doesn't appear so in the toolbar, and choosing Photo>Delete Rejected Photos does not delete rejected photos.

It appears the only way to reject right now, for me at least is to right click a photo in grid view, and select reject photo from there.

Bit of a pain as I cycle through quickly and decide if I'm keeping or not.

Is anyone else noticing this, or maybe even know why?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Tom,

I'd recommend you to first try these two things:-

- Reboot your computer.

- Reset LR's preferences: How to set Lightroom Classic CC preferences

Let us know the outcome.

Thanks,

Akash

This is a chronic issie for me. No matter how often I reboot the computer (Mac Sequoia 15.2) or cycle through "J", or reset the LR preferences. It may start to show the flag icon for a few days, but then it reverts to no icon. The images are flagged, because when I ask it to select flagged images, they are properly selected. But in Grid, filmstrip, loupe, it doesn't matter... the flag icon is constantly disappearing.

It's annoying af.

Been happening for a couple months now (It's Jan 15, 2025)

    You’ve posted to an ancient thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same one you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better off posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information, including system information, a complete description of the problem, and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

     

    If the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

This thread will be locked. 

     

    Thank you!
