P: does not show any pictures in folders with >N pictures!

Lightroom 4 does not show any pictures in folders with >N pictures! In my case, N is about 400. No matter if I try to view exisiting folders, or if I import new pictures. Lightroom tells the right number of pictures in the folder, but reports "no pictures" when trying to view the folder contents. Folders with <N pictures work fine. Catalog has been imported and converted from Lightroom 3.6. I am not able to use Lightroom 4 now. The problem is already known, see

This is very annoying. Please let me know when we can expect a solution. Is there any place where a customer who has bought Lightroom can contact Adobe directly on this subject? Thanks.

Hi Becky,

I think I responded elsewhere but do not see it. The LR 4.1 RC fixed the library import and display problems for me. I just uploaded a new catalog of 3500 images from my LR4 library on my Macbook Pro laptop to my Mac Pro Tower with no issues. It went smoothly and all of my processing data and keywords, etc. carried over.

Well done and thanks for such a prompt response to this problem!

Hi Gabriela,

Glad to hear the issue is fixed with the Lightroom 4.1 RC.

If you saved a preset in Lightroom 3, the process version used in Lightroom 3 (either 2003 or 2010) may have been saved into the preset as well. If this is the case, then applying the preset in Lightroom 4 will apply the process version saved in the preset. The team is working on getting more information about this posted on the Lightroom journal blog (http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjourn....

The 4.1 final version will replace the RC, and catalogs created in the RC or changed with the RC will update to the final 4.1.

Regards,
Becky

Hello Becky,
thanks for posting this. Yes, the RC seems to have fixed this issue. I had only one hour to test it but no big problems so far.

Just one short remark - when applying a preset that had been saved under LR3 as "user preset" LR 4.1 not only re-sets the engine (which doesn't make sense) but also sets all controls in the development module back to their LR3 equivalents . This is very strange and not supposed to happen. Officially downloaded presets seem to work, but self-created LR3 presets are useless now. I hope that this issue will be fixed with the final version. Will I have to report this somewhere else than here in this thread?

Will the final version replace the RC without any problems? I mean, is it save to work with the RC now without any need to modify the catalog when the final version is available? We all have lost just too many time after buying the LR4 "minor advances but major bugs update" and don't want to risk any further time consuming problems...

One other point. This problem has not occurred with LR4 on my macbook pro laptop running OS10.6. I was able to upgrade my library with folders of several thousand images with no problem. I also added new folders with nikon D4 raw images of several thousand images, again with no problem.

This problem, for me only happens on my mac pro tower machine, again running OS 10.6. On this machine the upgrade did not work and I cannot import from another catalog.

Thanks Becky,

I look forward to 4.1 to fix this issue.
This makes using the Nikon D4 raw files very troublesome as LR3 won't recognize them.

LR4 will not 'import from another catalog' which was created on another machine using LR4. Why?

The photos are added to the folder with the correct number of images shown, but under the Library module, LR4 says there are no photos in the folder and they cannot be previewed.

This really hampers workflow while shooting an event.

Upon upgrading my LR3 library for use with LR4 I noticed that some of my previous folders were now not recognized by the Library module.

While the folder still had the correct number of images listed, the Library module states there are no folders in this folder.

What happened and how do I fix it?? I do not want to lose all the keywording and adjustments that were made to these raw files.

Try creating a new empty catalogue and then importing and updating the old LR3 cat to that without moving the files. It worked out for me. A lot of trouble though....
