P: Flag & Color Label Shortcut Issues (Specific Languages AZERTY)

[yrelav dralliv]

I encounter an issue with the latest update (V11) on shortcuts to assign a color label (6,7,8,9).
Those shortcuts won't anymore assign a color label, it will now only remove the color label. 
The shortcut "Assign a color label and go to next photo" (Shift+6 to 9) still work well as previously.
Please fix this adobe, my culling speed depend on it. 
Thanks in advance,

[AxelMatt]

In a first step try is to reset the preferences to the default settings.

• Reset Procedure:
• Close Lightroom.
• Windows: Hold down [Alt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
  Mac: Hold down [Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
• Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.
• Close Lightroom.
• Restart Lightroom.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

OK 
I can see here that the problem is well identified and that Adobe don't care as far as there are not enough vote.
Il will try some of the workaround suggested here, and vote if I can find how to do it
thanks everyone

Hi

The procedure proposed by Axel doesn't work for me.

As a workaround, I don't use the number pad on the right but the numbers above the letters.

"The procedure proposed by Axel doesn't work for me."

Right, resetting preferences won't fix this bug.

"As a workaround, I don't use the number pad on the right but the numbers above the letters."

Note that to type a number on an AZERTY keyboard with the top-row keys, you need to hold Shift. That will toggle the setting of Photo > Auto Advance. Thus, by default, when you type a number, LR will apply the rating and advance to the next photo. 

If you don't want that to happen, then check the menu item Photo > Auto Advance, and typing a number will no longer auto advance.

Bonjour, je rencontre exactement le même problème avec Lightroom lors de ma selection. Avez vous trouvé une solution?

[John R Ellis]

@elodiem75212157, if you're using the numeric keypad on an AZERTY keyboard, there's a longstanding bug acknowledged by Adobe:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-flag-amp-color-label-shortcut-issues-specifi...

As a simple workaround, use the top-row number keys as detailed here:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-flag-amp-color-label-shortcut-issues-specifi...

For a more complete workaround, see here:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-flag-amp-color-label-shortcut-issues-specifi... 

If your problem isn't described by that bug report, start a new thread providing much more detail about what's going wrong.

Hello,

I have the same kind of bug after upgrading to Ventura (everything was ok with Big Sur) on a M1 MacMini M1.

When I rate a picture with the numeric keypad in grid view with automatic advance, the rating applies to the current and next picture and it advances to the third picture ! If I use the normal numeric key (Shift+key), it rates correctly but there is no automatic advance ! When using the toolbar for rating, everything works correctly: rating and advance to next photo...

The same bug applies when setting a color. Numeric keypad: color applies to 2 pictures. Normal numeric key: correct color but no auto advance. Toolbar color setting: ok.

[FMPVince67]

Lightroom Classic  13.0.1 (bug also occured before)

French macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (bug also occured before) 

MacBook Pro M1

Wired french Apple Extended Keyboard (also occurs with third parties keyboards)

Step to reproduce :

Be in library or develop mode, with thumbnails below, have the autoadvance on rating set.

Have your macOS keyboard layout set to french

Rate a picture using the numbers on the numeric keypad, the current and the next picture will get teh rating instead of just the current one. Which is super irritating.

With same configuration, same keyboard setting the keyboard layout to ABC (US QWERTY) will make it work ok, so no issue.

Issue only occurs with numeric keypad and keyboard layout ser to french.

No issue alos eve in french layout mode, if you use the first keybord row for the numbers (but in french its inconvenient since you have to use the shift key to get the number)

[FMPVince67]

I'm convinced its a macOS bug, it alos happens in filemaker

see details here, with files to reproduce

https://community.claris.com/en/s/question/0D53w00006JLKMpCAP/scripts-launched-by-default-keyboard-s...

also I can reproduce it, with filemaker as LR doesn't seem to work with AS, with applescript, so no hardware involved

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

activate

delay 1.266667

tell application "System Events"

keystroke "1" using command down

end tell

end tell

[FMPVince67]

here's the corrected applescript that works with lightroom

tell application "Adobe Lightroom Classic"

activate

delay 1.266667

tell application "System Events"

keystroke "1"

end tell

end tell

[FMPVince67]

I submitted the bug to Apple FB13425466

[FMPVince67]

But of course Adobe should weigh in to Apple on this bug cause they've more weight than me

[FMPVince67]

Unfortunately, Lightroom Classic 13.1 décember 2023 update still doesn't fix it

[kentdesign]

I can understand how frustratingthis is.... Rikk FLor, is this bug still active?

I have nother user who mentioned this same issue to me.

Zdravím, táto chyba je aktívna, vymeniel som aj Mac, LR mám stále aktuálny, chyba pretrváva, používam Slovenskú klávesnicu, keď prepnem na anglickú klávesnicu všetko ide OK. Prosím otestujte to aj na inej ako anglickej či americkej klávesnici

Since this thread was started, Adobe has since acknowledged bugs using the numeric keypad on AZERTY keyboards used by French and other languages.

A simple workaround is to type the numbers along the the top row of the keyboard, e.g. type Shift ! to set the color green.  Note that when you do this, the meaning of the menu item Photo > Auto Advance (Photo > Avance Automatique) is reversed. When the menu item is checked, typing Shift ! sets the color green and doesn't advance to the next photo; when the menu item is unchecked, it sets the color green and advances to the next photo.

If you want a more complete workaround in which ! sets the color green and Shift ! sets the color green and advances to the next photo (making that key operate like it does on non-AZERTY keyboards), see this post:

Toto riešenie s klávesou Shift je pre niektorých užívateľov LR dobré, no neviem či pre väčšinu. LR je hlavne na hromadné spracovanie fotografií, toto spôsobuje spomalovanie. Prip pár fotkách to môže pomôcť.

[John R Ellis]

"This solution with the Shift key is good for some LR users, but I don't know if for most. LR is mainly for bulk photo processing, this causes slowdown. A few photos can help."

To avoid use of the Shift key, see the more involved workaround using the Any Shortcut plugin that I linked to previously:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-flag-amp-color-label-shortcut-issues-specifi...

Clearly, it would be better if Adobe fixed the bug.

[Michal235827356jdf]

I just had the same thing happen to me, when using capslock LR will star 2 photos at once. I wonder if this is a feature or a bug. But after Illustrator lagging, when I run the magnet app, I don't wonder anything anymore (I paid for that app -_-)
