Question

Resetting preferences doesn't reset raw defaults

Resetting LR's preferences, either by holding down Shift + Alt/Opt while starting LR or by holding down Alt/Opt in Preferences > General and clicking Reset All Preferences And Launch, doesn't reset Preferences > Presets > Raw Defaults. 

 

To reproduce:

 

1. In Preferences > Presets > Raw Defaults, set Global to be Camera Settings and check Override Global Setting For Specific Cameras.

 

2. Exit LR, hold down Shift Alt/Opt, and restart LR.

 

3. Observe that in Preferences > Presets > Raw Defaults, Global is still Camera Settings and Override Global Setting For Specific Cameras is still checked.

 

Tested on LR 11.3.1 / Mac OS 12.4.

John, 

I've spoken with our QE for ACR/Lr and this is as-designed. I've moved this back to discussions.  If you want to request a warning be added or that the reset behavior be changed, we can convert this to a feature request or you can make a new request.

This preference is shared with Camera Raw I believe. That may be the reason.

True, but resetting the Camera Raw preferences does reset the raw defaults.

So that's a problem. They should behave the same. Since they are linked, I would suggest a reset not alter this setting. Or users need to be first warned that both products are affected. Having the current different behavior is the worst of all options.
