P: Importing presets is changing the name to a random hex code

[acoates19]

When I import a preset, for example 'Sage - Less Orange.xmp', the name changes to some random hex code like this, '088bc661003c4c49aecf8a3609059ae0' in the Lightroom app itself. The new file is also called '088bc661003c4c49aecf8a3609059ae0.xmp' which I would expect.

 

LR CC is up to date and I've tried restarting both Lightroom and my computer but nothing has changed. I can obviously just rename the preset in Lightroom but that's a pain when you've got quite a few.


EDIT: See example below

Andrew, 

Who was your preset provider? Are they the previosuly used LUA .lrtemplate files or the newer style XMP files?

[acoates19]

It's the Sage preset by Kala Rath Photography. As you can see in the video, the preset is provided in both formats, XMP and lrtemplate.

Can you email me one of the XMP presets to interrogate? If so, send to: 

[acoates19]

Absolutely. Sent you one.

Got it. Thanks. Let me do some investigation

Ok, Andrew, it looks like this issue has been reported and will be fixed in the upcoming version. Thanks for the test file.

Great! Thanks for letting me know! 🙂

Is there any news on when this fix will be released?
