When you update your (older) pictures to a new process version, I noticed, that stacked photos will not be updated automatically. You first have to unstack the pics.

No you don't, no need to unstack.

It's just that operations are applied only to the stack's top image if the stack is collapsed.

Expand stack, do what you want and then callapse it back.

This can be done in batch if needed: select all, stacking>expand all stacks, stacking>collapse all stacks.

Thats's exactly the point. If I update a complete folder to a new process version, I expect, that ALL images are updated, including all photos in the stack, not only the top one. I don't see any reason, why they should not be included?

Right, but when LR is asking if I want to update all photos in the film strip (in my German version it say "Alle Fotos im Filmstreifen aktualisieren") then I expect, that ALL are updated. I don't talk about rating, editing,...., that's a different story). So for me, it's still a bug and not a feature 😉

 


The issue is rather the language: 'Update All Filmstrip Photos'.

It depends on how one understands 'All'.

It can be argued that' All', is ambiguous. Open to interpretation! 

You have to remember that if you want to change anything in a stack - even changing from the proprietary camera raw to DNG using Lightroom, you have to unstack the photos in order for all of them to be changed.
