Question

Smart Collection with criterium FOLDER ENDS IN doesn't find the photos any longer (since 13.3)

I have several smart collections for publishing (e.g. in flickr) and other purposes that use the criterium FOLDER ENDS IN.

These Smart Collections always worked fine and were updated whenever I changed the folders they referenced. But since Lightroom 13.3, this criterion no longer works. It doesn't find the original photos and suggests deleting all the photos from the collection.

 

Another annoying bug coming with an update. Any ideas?

Thank you.

'Folder Ends In -' works fine on Mac version. So, issue would seem to be Windows only.

 

Can you provide a screenshot of how "suggests deleting all the photos from the collection" is displayed?

Here is an example. Before updating to 13.3 these 1003 photos were published to Flickr and selected by FOLDER ENDS IN (or ORDNER ENDET AUF in the German version I am using). Now Lightroom thinks they are not there any longer and suggests deleting them also from Flickr:

 

The filter is:

And the original Folder still contains all these and more, I want to publish:

I think I have to go back to 13.2. It seems that with each update something great new comes with the update but something old, that was working is not working any longer .... 🫤
