P: Auto Sync in Survey Mode doesn't sync star ratings

[John R Ellis]

Auto Sync in Survey mode doesn't sync changes made to the stars under the thumbnail, though it does sync changes made to the pick and rejected flags under the thumbnail, to the stars in the toolbar, and to the stars with keyboard shortcuts.

To reproduce:

1. Select four photos and go into Survey mode.

2. Do Metadata > Enable Auto Sync.

3. Click and change the stars under one of the thumbnails -- notice that the stars do not change for any of the other thumbnails.

4. Click the pick and reject flags under one thumbnail, and notice that the other thumbnails also get the flags.   

5. Click and change the stars in the toolbar (not under the thumbnails) and notice that the stars change for all the thumbnails.

6. Use keyboard shortcuts (e.g. 1 ... 5) to change the stars and notice that they change for all the thumbnails.

Tested in LR 10.0 / Mac OS 10.15.5.

Works fine for me on Mac OS 10.15.7 / LR 10.0

Hmm, I also tested LR 10 / Windows 10 and observed the same behavior, even after resetting preferences.  Here's a screen recording:

I can duplicate Step 3 on Windows 10, John. 

I will get a bug logged for it.

I see it now. I didn't read carefully enough the first time. I can reproduce the same behavior on Windows and Mac. I'll file a bug.

Good catch, John!

Salut Jhon, hello, pareil sur la version française sur macOS 10.15.7 et LrC 10.0

As a workaround, you can hold down 'option' key and then try changing the the stars under one of the thumbnails in survey mode.
