PROBLEM
In Preview thumbnail grid, I've used View Options to set Folder as one of the headers for Expanded Cells. It shows the correct folder. When I drag an image from the grid to a different folder, that Folder name does not update. It updates in the right-hand panel's Metadata section, but not in the grid.
ABOVE: View Options settings are: Expanded Cells, Show Header with Labels and Folder is the third header to be shown.
ABOVE: File moved but incorrect folder displayed in preview/thumbnail cell. The correct folder name is shown on the right in the Metadata panel.
WORKAROUND
There are only two ways to force it to update:
- Open View Options and change "Folder" to something else, such as "None." Then change it back to "Folder." the Folder name shown in the thumbnail is immediately updated.
- Or, close Lightroom and re-open it. Folder names will then be shown correctly.
ABOVE: After updating the View Option settings, correct folder name is displayed.
OTHER INFORMATION
I'm running the latest version of Lightroom Classic (9.2) on a new Windows 10 Pro computer. I'm using Jeffrey Friedl's "Metadata Presets" plugin to show the customized metadata fields in the Metadata panel.
This seems to be a bug. I have not noticed it before. Anyone else?
