  • Steps to repro:

1) select multiple items

2) press Option-Delete

3) See that only one of the selected items is deleted

I would expect all to be deleted.  Is this a known bug?

Right clicking and selecting "Delete Photos" seems to delete all of them though.

  • If I select multiple items and do any of the following the rating is only applied to a single image.  I would expect it to be applied to all items.

- pressing 0-5 ont he keyboard

- right click a selected item -> Set Rating -> Pick 0-5

- Photo Menu -> 0-5

Is this a known bug?

    Hi there,

    Sorry that you delete multiple items in Lightroom and cannot apply rating to multiple images at once.

    Which Lightroom version are you using? To verify that you have the most recent version of Lightroom:

    Choose Help > System Info.

    I'd recommend that you restore Lightroom Classic CC app preferences to default and let us know if the issue still persists? Please refer this article for step by step instructions:

    How to set Lightroom Classic preferences

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thanks,

    Akash

    Resetting preferences worked for this issue.

    Though it seems I shouldn't have to clobber all my preferences in order for this to work, right?

    I agree, but sometimes app preferences get corrupted and resetting them helps resolving such issues.
