Question

Filtering by Camera doesn’t work on newly imported photos

  1. Import new photos with the latest Lr Version on iPad
  2. Inside a new album, filtering by Camera shows “No result found”
  3. Going into the “All photos” master album, the camera are shown in the filter menu.
    However, none of the new photos are shown, only old ones.

    It can take a little while for Search to find new photos.  Is this still happening?  If so, can you share an example  photo and the search you used?

     

    Thanks,

    Peter

    I’m using the filter toolbar button on the top right corner of the albums:

     

    It’s been at least 72 hours since they were imported.

    Files are the standard DNG from my Leica Q2/SL2.

    I’ve shared one below, let me know if you can download it properly:

    Search isn’t returning results from my most recent import.

    I photograph dogs at my local shelter. I add captions to each photo (including dog names) and rely on that metadata to search images. After my latest import (2 days ago), search only returns results from older photos:

    • Existing names (e.g., “Funsize”) don’t show matches from the new import
    • New names (e.g., “Dawn”) return no results
    • Captions are visible on both desktop and web

    I’ve tried searching in both the desktop app and Lightroom web, and the issue is the same.

    It seems like the metadata is there but not being indexed for search.

    Any ideas on how to fix or force reindexing?

    Thanks!

    Im flagging photos as Flagged or rejected and i also rate them by stars. The configuration is saved in the photo when i get back to the photos editor.

    But when i open the All Photos or Album and i try to filter by the flags or stars its not working .

    The only filter that show some photos is the Unflaged  and it shows all photos including those that were flagged
