Problem with classification in Lightroom Classic

Sinds een tijdje moet ik Lightroom Classic steeds opnieuw opstarten om mijn selectie met sterren classificatie te kunnen zien. Als ik nieuwe foto's importeer geef ik ze een classificatie. Die is dan niet zichtbaar en moet dan opnieuw opstarten. Dan is de classificatie wel zichtbaar.

Correct answer johnrellis

Try deleting the Helper.lrdata folder:

a) Do Catalog Settings > General > Show to open Finder / File Explorer on the current catalog folder.
b) Exit LR.
c) In that folder, delete the folder "<catalog> Helper.lrdata".
d) Restart LR, and it will rebuild the folder.

The Helper.lrdata folder caches information about metadata, keywords, folders, collections, and other things to speed the performance of LR and it can sometimes get corrupted. In recent versions, LR has used it more heavily to improve the speed of displaying metadata, and there have been a fair number of bugs with it.
