Photos edited using plug in not showing in LRC library

I am using LRC 11.2 and windows 10
I have the following filters selected in the library (grid) view –
- My photos folder ( at main folder level)
- Specific keyword i.e. Antelope
- Colours and star rating in library filter
When I use the “edit in” feature in LRC it transfers the file to the
plug-in (Photoshop or Denoise). After editing and saving, it transfers
the file back to LRC. However I cannot see this file in the grid view
unless I restart LRC

The stack with original is selected in preferences and if I try unstacking photos it does not show up.The sort order is set to time

Also when looking at the grid it will display say 5 photos but the keyword will say 6

Up until a week ago, I did not have this problem

That looks like a bug that still exists from about Lightroom version 3 onwards... I'm mainly working with keywords as primairy filter so I ran into it for years now...

 

I found out that keywords (and other metadata) are correctly assigned to the new file created by Lightroom (for most plugins) or, in the current versions, by Photoshop. But it looks like as if Lightroom does not 'see' there is an extra file afterwards, also complying with the filter criteria. Work around I use (for years now...) is switching of filters and re-applying them. At least that saves you some time from completely restarting Lightroom while having the same effect!

Sounds like the returned image is filtered out because it no longer fits the filter criteria. Does it show when you use no filters? If so, select it and then choose 'Photo - Go to Folder in Library'. Lightroom will show you in which folder it is. Because you filter on folders, this could be the 'capitalization problem', which causes the returned image to be saved in a different folder.

The photos do show when not using filters. However the original & edited photos are shown in in the same folder.

As suggested by Ruud van Dijk, I switched off all the filters, saw the edited photo and re applied the filters - to no avail.

This problem only seemed to happen after the LRC  Feb 11.2 update

When checking the edited photo, do you see that all properties are set the right way, so it should comply with the filters? If yes, it seems another bug in Lightroom. If no, maybe some attributes are changed during external editing. But then, you also should not see the photo after restarting Lightroom and (re)appying the filters.
