Question

New Lightroom 15 Library module does not display proper previews when raw+xmp+acr are imported.

On my Windows 11 and new Lightroom Classic V15, with the help of ChatGPT, I found a bug.

 

When importing a raw file that already has xmp and acr sidecars, the edits in those sidecars do not appear in the Library module previews. However, they do appear in the Develop module. But, by using the Library/Previews option in the Library module to set 1:1 or standard sized previews, the previews are updated and properly display the xmp/acr sidecar edits.

 

ChatGPT led to this tip after 3 rounds, and declares it a definite bug.

I cannot reproduce this failure with the instructions provided.  I am suspicious of ChatGPT's pronouncement. 
I had already responded (as have others) on your Luminous Landscape thread.
