P: Can't Scroll in Create Collections Window

If you try to create a collection and add it to a collection set, the scroll wheel on the mouse won't scroll through all your current collections. I have to manually click on the scroll arrow which for 100's of collections takes a really long time to get to the bottom.

 

Lightroom Classic

Version 13.4

Windows

Actually the video I shared was just to demonstrate how you can't scroll quickly. My actual workflow is that I create a heirachy on my NAS with all my photos from a trip (Parent Folder + Sub Folders) and then import those into Lightroom. I then right click on those to create collections. I used to create collections first then import each sub folder one by one, but when you have 20+ timelapse folders from one parent folder, it took forever to import everything folder by folder instead of all at once and walking away for a bit.

 

So while your options are good workarounds, it doesn't help with someone who is trying to import a few subfolders at once and then create collections from them.

While waiting for Adobe to address this, you can use this workaround, which is just as quick:

 

1. Use the scroll wheel to scroll to the desired collection set in the Collections panel. Or use the Filter Collections box to quickly search for the collection set.

 

2. Right-click the collection set and do Creeate Collection.  Inside A Collection should already be checked and the collection set filled in.
