Problem editing from book module

[plantrob]

I'm directing this query to Adobe's support personnel (as they are the ones I pay every month for this software) but if there's anyone out their doing their support work for them, I'll take help from any quarter  : )

Prior to upgrading to Lightroom CC Classic if I was working on a book I could highlight an image directly on any of the book preview pages, or the strip below, and by clicking 'Develop'  or 'D' I would be taken directly to the develop module for that image, I could apply changes, then select 'Book' and be taken back into the book to the same place as i left off

Since updating this only functions intermittently....As often as not if I do this I am taken to the Develop module but to a different image!!!

The same will occur if I choose 'Library' or 'G'

When his occurs the only option I have is to right-click the image on the strip below, select 'Go to folder in library'...then click 'Develop' from the library view...make the changes and then return to book view! (At least it still finds its way back to the correct place in the book view

This has only occurred since updating. It is occurring on both a laptop and a desktop. It is occurring with different catalogs. Apart from any changes made by the update process there have been no changes, updates etc applied to either laptop or pc

It would appear that this is a bug in the newest update, which is making the book module incredibly unwieldy

The only fix I attempted (on one machine) was to disable graphics GPU and to apply the config.lua patch, a solution put forward on this forum for a different developing bug: Neither of these had any effect

Please advise

Hi Rob,

I'm not Adobe staff, but I would suggest resetting your preferences - hold down Alt/Opt as you launch the application and choose to reset. Note that this will set all your preferences back to their defaults, so you will have to change back any that you didn't have at their defaults. (Some people find it helpful to take screenshots of the Preferences tabs before resetting.)

Tried that...but didn't offer me the option to reset preferences

The original Lightroom CC (pre-update still seems to be there and runs normally on the un-updated catalog)

NO SIGN OF ANYONE FROM ADOBE GETTING INVOLVED HERE???

[Laura Shoe]

Then your timing wasn't right -  press and hold down Alt/Opt and while it is held down, click on the program icon in your Mac dock or double-click on the desktop shortcut.

I realize that you're experienced with the Book module, but for the sake of thoroughness, make sure you have the photo on the page selected, not just the page.

The place to report bugs, where Adobe technical staff participates, is on this other forum.

by clicking 'Develop'  or 'D' I would be taken directly to the develop module for that image,...........if I do this I am taken to the Develop module but to a different image!!!

My interpretation of your problem.  'D' does not develop the (selected) image.

1. As per Laura Shoe's advice- are you sure you have one 'Photo' selected, and not just the book page?

Note: Clicking on the Filmstrip does NOT select the Photo!

Page only selected-

Photo selected-

2. Did you manage to reset preferences?

3. Another possibility- the Previews folder has become corrupted (causing the "different image" to open in Develop)

You could try re-naming (or deleting) the Previews folder and let Lightroom re-build the previews. (previews folder name will look like- Catalog Name Previews.LRDATA )

To make this work all the image files need to be placed in one (1) book collection. You need to select Book> Create New Book to create the collection for your placed images and then add any new images to this collection.
