Hi Rikk,

Thanks for trying to reproduce this! So are you saying that Lr is supposed to automatically fill in the Location information based on the photo's GPS metadata? Is there a way to manually trigger this?

Rikk Flohr_Photography

There is no trigger. If the GPS information is valid and present, it should look like this immediately after import. Here is one of the test files I shot yesterday to test your report.

If you have a file with valid GPS data, it may fail.

If you can share a file that you believe should function, can you share it with me so I can try it?
