Stars, Flags, Colors not displaying/syncing across Filmstrip, Grid, Loupe View (LrC 14.4)

[Bryan-P]

Since upgrading to LrC 14.4 I have noticed major issues with stars, flags, colors (possibly other meta-data, but not used in my workflow). Specifically when using a keyboard shortcut (e.g. 2 to set to 2 star rating), the change in status is not displayed, unless viewed in Loupe View (keyboard: E) and can even display inconsistently in different views. I am expecting behavior like previous version of LrC where such metadata is visible in the flimstrip, develop mode (keyboard: D), and in Grid view (keyboard: G) and that the displays are consistent in all of these.

LrC v 14.4

MacOS Sequoia 15.5 (24F74) on Apple M1 hardware

Steps to reproduce:

A: In develop (or grid) mode press 2

B: In develop (or grid) mode press X

C: In develop (or grid) mode press 6

Expected outcome: 

A: Rating of current image set to 2 stars.  2 stars displayed on film strip, 2 stars displayed below image when in grid mode

B: Flag of current image set to reject. black X flag displayed on film strip, black X flag and greyed out square in grid mode

C: Color label of current image set to red. red outline shown around thumbnail on film strip, red outline around image in grid mode

Actual outcome:

A: No visible change in filmstrip, no visible change in develop, no visible change to image border area when switching to Grid mode (G). (no stars shown by image in either mode. Only way to see stars is in Loupe mode (E), with the "rating" view mode selected from the lower right downward triangle/arrow

B: No visible change in filmstrip, no visible change in develop, no visible change to image border area when switching to Grid mode (G). (no flag shown by image in either mode, not greyed out in grid). Only way to see flags is in Loupe mode (E), with the "flagging" view mode selected from the lower right downward triangle/arrow

C: No visible change in filmstrip, no visible change in develop, no visible change to image border area when switching to Grid mode (G). (no color border shown by image in either mode). Only way to see color is in Loupe mode (E), with the "color label" view mode selected from the lower right downward triangle/arrow

Update: to further check this, I attempted to explore the view modes under the bottom right downward triangle/arrow. By enabling the rating, flagging, and color labels in all of these views (Loupe, Grid, Develop) I was partly able to see the status, but revealed that it could be a display syncing problem. Specifically with e.g. the rating view enabled in develop (note: I think this used to be what I had setup, but it disappeared) I could see 2 stars when I pressed "2," in the grey bar below the image. However, there were not 2 stars on the filmstrip. When viewing the same image  in grid mode, the 2 stars were also visible in the grey bar between the grid and the filmstrip, but no on the filmstrip and not in the border area of the image.

Similarly only this grey status bar area would show changes to not only ratings, but also flag status and color labels.

Hi @Bryan-P! Thank you for reaching out! Sorry for being late to the conversation.

Here are a few things to try:

1) If you're using a dual-language keyboard, shortcuts may only work when the input language is set to English.

2) Reset Lightroom Preferences: Corrupted preferences can cause shortcut issues. To reset: Quit Lightroom > Hold Option + Shift while launching Lightroom Classic. A dialog will appear asking if you want to reset preferences — confirm it.

3) macOS System Shortcuts Conflict: Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts and check if any shortcuts are set for Lightroom that conflict with flag/star commands. Remove or adjust them if needed.

Let us know how it's going!
