I had a similar experience yesterday with LrC 11.2 not reading the XMP data from a DNG file at import. This might be a bug.

See the screen capture of my post in another thread.

Did some further testing on my system and confirm this is a repeatable issue. LrC 11.2 is not reading XMP automatically at initial import for DNG files and original raw files.

Please provide more details about what you did. What is "Save all" in the context of Lightroom Classic? Are you really importing the files into a new catalog, or importing photos into the existing catalog?

 

still can see they are there but the wont show

 

What is there? What won't show?
