P: Archive edits doesn't archive edits (on Windows 11)

I just tested the new archive option in Lr Desktop 7.3. Therefore I used edited RAW and DNG files and exported them to my desktop. Both don't show the edits when opened up in ACR or after importing them into LrC. Bummer!

    Just been playing with Archive on Lightroom Desktop 8 and it does not seem to save version data. On re-importing an archived image that had auto and named versions no version infor was available. Is this the expected behaviour?

    Can confirm that version 8.0 fixes the issue with Archive not maintaining edits for JPG and PNG.  Yeah!!! 🙂

        Greetings all, 

         

        A new update for Adobe Photography Products has been released.  The October (MAX) update contains an update for this issue. 

        If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

        Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

         

        Thank you for being so patient.

          Sorry for answering that late @Rikk Flohr: Photography . I thought I had done it already: your workaround works! 😉

          The workaround that @Riccardo Bonciani suggests doesn't do the trick for me:
          1. To me it makes no difference if I use "replace" or "keepp both" because I don't archive to the original folder.
          2. Since Lr doesn't write the edits to the DNG or to a sidecar file a refresh doesn't do anything.

            i will be testing that workaround myself, i'm curious what the actual issue is and why there has been no update since may 2024 on the "investigating" status

            I found this workaround. After archiving locally (replace mode), select the photos,  right click on them and click on the function refresh. 
            Archiving by using the "keep both" mode, it does not have issues. It only happens with "replace" mode.

            Can second that I'm having a problem with the archive locally feature too. 

            Lightroom 7.4.1 on macos 14.5.

            Photos imported to ipad, edited, synced to cloud. Opened on Lightroom desktop, archive locally.

             

            There was a matching .xmp for every raw file, but about 80% of them had completely zeroed out settings. Haven't tested thouroughly but when I right click the photo and export > original + settings it seems to write the xmp out correctly.
