Lightroom Classic 14.1 1nd 14.1.1

MacOS 15.2

 

- Import images

- Select image(s)

- Press a number key to apply a star raing

- The UI (Library module) does not update to show the stars below the thumbnails

 

The ratings seem to be applied as I can filter based on the newly applied ratings even though she starts do not appear.

 

The stars will appear after closing and reopening Lightroom

This same problem exists for Lightroom Classic 14.1.1 on Windows 11 Pro 24H2

Whatever the heck that Adobe has done has really messed up the stars showing in the user interface. Sometimes if I change views, the starts will appear.

This also affects the color ratings as well, e.g. 6 = Red, 7 = Yellow, etc. these are not updating correctly either in the visible user interface, but appear to be saved in the underlying database.

Someone else mentioned keywords. I am not seeing any keyword statistisc on the right-hand side of the Library view. There are keywords there, but they are all showing zeros next to them.

Actually your point re saved in underlying database is right. That was my experience too. Info was there but couldn't see it. I'm on apple mac m1 max sonoma 14.5. Prefer to put up with other adobe defects than lose efficient tagging.

I cannot reproduce that either. Try resetting the preferences:

I tried resetting preferences but that didn't help. 

Actually, after updating  from 14.01 to 14.1.1 to try this, all keywords are missing from all photos.

Perhaps your catalog is corrupt, as you also reported another issue that both Rikk and I cannot reproduce. Did you try a catalog backup?

Whether or not you can produce this as an Adobe employee is irrelevant. It is happening to customers, including me! And we are frustrated and definitely not happy because of this. Our entire workflow is broken when you can't reliably see changes made to star ratings and have to rely on restarting Lightroom Classic or using the Filter options to see which photos have stars applied (even if the user interface doesn't seem to show that due to this bug).

I fully understand your frustration, but unfortunately it is very relevant whether or not Adobe tech (not necessarily Rikk) can reproduce the problem. If they can't reproduce the problem, how on earth can they fix it?
