Develop module - No photo selected (LrC 10)

[tombadog99]

Just upgraded to LrC10 only to come across the following issue:

When I go into the develop module with a photo selected in the library module, the selected photo does not show up in the develop module. All I get is "No photo selected". Even if I try to click other photos on the filmstrip at the bottom, nothing changes and I still get "No photo selected" in the develop module.

Any ideas?

I'm experiencing this too! If I'm in the grid and I press any of the shortcuts to get to the Develop Module (G, R, Q, etc.), or even click on "Develop" in the menu, I get "No photo selected." I've reinstalled twice.

Does this happen when you click on a photo in the grid? (The original message said click on the a photo in the filmstrip)

Can you please show us screen captures, where the photo is selected and then the Develop module showing the error? You do this by clicking on the "Insert Photos" icon to include the screen capture in your reply.

It has magically started working for me now - no idea what changed. It was occuring in the develop module,.no matter where the photo was selected (filmstrip and grid).

I actually got it working by following these steps: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/. After I removed the .plist file and restarted Lightroom everything seems to work correctly. Out of curiousity I replaced the new .plist file with the one I removed and it stopped working again, so there's definitely some issue related to the preferences.
