P: SDK: photo:applyDevelopSettings() can't apply a rectangular-selection Object mask

[johnrellis]

photo:applyDevelopSettings() can't apply a rectangular-selection Object mask, though it can apply a brush-selection Object mask. This prevents my Copy Settings plugin from correctly copying rectangular Object masks.

Tested in LR 12.0.1 / Mac OS 12.6.1.

To reproduce the bug:

1. Download the attached "object-bug.lua.txt", rename it to "object-bug.lua", and place it in the Scripts subfolder of the Lightroom settings folder. Restart LR.

2. Import the attached photo "a.jpg".

3. Import the attached preset Object Mask.xmp. (The script "object-bug.lua" applies the same Develop settings as in the preset Object Mask.)

4. Edit "a.jpg" and apply the preset Object Mask. It should look like:

The rectangular Object mask is the black object in the upper-right corner.

5. Reset the photo's settings.

6. Do the menu command Scripts > object-bug. The photo should look like:

7. Do Settings > Update AI Settings.

8. In the Masking panel, observe the error message:

This has been reviewed by the team and determined not to be a bug.  Moving back to discussions.

"The x and y should be in capital case, i.e., X and Y. One user makes that change in the script, it will work as expected."
