No photos in selected Smart Collection

[Mark Connell]

Scenario:

1. Select a Smart Collection in the Collections panel which contains photos.
2. Close Lr.
3. Start Lr.
4. Browser shows "No photos in selected Smart Collection" even though the selected Smart Collection image count shows a non-zero number.
5. Select other Smart Collection then re-select the Smart Collection previously chosen and the images are shown correctly in the Browser.

I noticed this in LrC 9 and still happening in LrC 10 on macOS 10.15.7

Do you have some other Filter set in the Filter bar? Which you have chosen not to show the full LrC window.

No filters set. Here's the full-window shot:

After selecting another collection then re-selecting the original one I see the iamges in that collection as expected:

A full, screenshot, showing the full screen may help.

Does that continue to happen after restarting LR?  If so, I recommend you submit a bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum, where Adobe wants all bug reports and feature suggestions:

Be sure to include the first ten lines of the menu command Help > System Info.  Provide all the details, rather than linking back to this thread -- experience shows that Adobe developers tend not to follow the links.
