Behaviour of folders in library mode

Hi folks,
when I am in the library mode and close all my subfolder everything is fine. Now I rename a folder and several folders and subfolder pop open.
Why?
Does someone has the same behaviour?

folder problem in library:
whenEVER I delete a folder, perhaps an empty folder. from my library, the following happens:
the folder disappear but every folder in my library is automatically opened and the main library folder is selected. I have to close many folders and find my next folder that I planned to work on. very aggravating!
This must be part of a set of bugs.

Can't delete folders in Library mode

I cannot delete folders. I have selected a folder in Library mode but I can find not way to delete it. It seems that I can remove it from the catalog but not delete the folder and the files. Is there a way delete a folder and all the files contained in it?

Yes, but you have to delete images in the folder first. You can delete files within Lr. When the folder is empty Lr will allow deletion of the folder.
I have no idea why Lr requires you do it this way. I suppose it is a safety feature. Mass deletes of folders and their contents could be dangerous.

Some folders are not displaying contents in Library mode

Any suggestions to troubleshoot and fix this? Am new to LightRoom and up to date with version 5.2. Some details: I have 130,000 images in approx 2500 folders and subfolders on a 2 TB USB 3 external drive. Imported my catalog from Elements 11 and reorganized keywords into a simple hierarchy. Now I am systematically going through the folders in Library mode to tag individuals and events. After the first 2000 folders, selecting any of the next 1500 folders gives no response. In some cases, if I persist, LR will freeze and stop working. Running Win 7 with 16 GB memory. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Lightroom 4 Bug: can only see photos in Library mode, not develop mode

This may be related to other imported catalog bugs, but does not seem to be quite the same. In Lightroom 4, with an upgraded Lightroom 3 catalog:
1. Select a photo in Library mode.
2. Click on Develop to go to Develop mode
Screen shows "No photo selected". I cannot edit photos in Develop mode.
I can see and edit photos that are found in smart collections, but not photos that are simply in my collections from 2012, 2011, etc. folders

This happened to me, too, after importing a couple older LR3 catalogs (upgrading/consolidating). I could see the photo in Library module but when I pressed "D" (single photo selected) I was getting the "no photo selected" error message--for every photo I tried. I wasn't able to open any photos at all in the develop module. (These were photos that were fine before installing LR4 and upgrading.) Photos were from imported LR3 and LR4 Beta catalogs.
I restarted and everything seems ok--for now!
So if you come across this thread with this same issue, restart and see if that helps. (Before restarting LR I optimized as suggested above, which did nothing for the "no photo selected" issue. And this isn't related to the parent folder issue, I left my photos in the same place and didn't have more than 3k photos in any of the parent folders. I read in other threads that people had the issue again after importing other catalogs. I'm about to do that so I'll report back.

Why are my processed images now sharper in the Library mode than in Develop mode (LR5)?

In LR 5. Recently I noticed my processed images are sharper in the Library mode than in the Develop mode. This makes doing adjustments difficult because I can't really tell the effect of the adjustments.
PC, i7, 24GB RAM.
I've tried purging the Camera Raw cache. It's been suggested to purge the Preview cache but I cannot find the Preview cache file. It's also been suggested to clear the Preferences but those file don't show up in a search either even though my PC search is set up to show hidden files and folders.
Any solutions?

Images can be different between the camera-rendered preview you see before Import and the default Adobe rendering, but after import the thumbnail in the LR grid view shouldn’t be a different tone than the image in the main area. Is that what you’re saying you’re seeing?
Can you show us a screenshot with both the thumbnail filmstrip and the central area visible as well as the histogram?

Sorting in "Folder pane" -- LR4-Library mode

How do I sort my folders in the Library mode -- on the left "folders panel" -- by default it sorts alphabetically -- how do I change that default?

You can't.
Just use a naming convention that matches alphabetically what you want to achieve.

Scrolling in Library mode is slower, than in Develop Mode

I've got quite a disent hardwere (i3, 6GB) and I don't use big catalogs, I render 1:1 previews, but Lr works really slow, espesially scrollind in Library mode.

Sorry I couldn't answer What Operating system? What LR version?
What do you mean by "scrolling"? (Scrolling between images in grid view? Scrolling between images in loupe mode? Scrolling inside image in loupe mode when viewing it 1:1?)
Also, could you define your "slow"? For example "when I press right arrow (next image) in loupe mode, it takes 5 secods before image is fully rendered."
Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

Grey thumbnail, grey loupe view-- no photograph displayed in library mode

When I import a new batch of photographs my library mode, both in grid and loupe view will not show my new photographs. And not that it just takes a bit of time to load-- the picture will not show, only gray. This has only happened in the last month or so. Previously everything worked well.
To get my pictures showing I have to go to develop mode and view them. The loading is taking considerably longer than it used to as well. I've been into my preference pane and can't see what to do. As per a tutorial I upped my "Camera Raw Cache Settings" to 50 GB. The problem hasn't coincided with this change however. I don't know what is going on but I am frustrated to have all photos load but not show up in Grid or Loupe mode.
Any ideas? I have over 7,000 photos in library. I've validated and checked library and it comes back okay.
Thanks for your help.
My computer is a newer 27" imac so I should have plenty of juice to run the program. Hard drive space isn't an issue as I have a 1TB.

Sounds like a corrupted preview cache. Let's test that theory. Close LR. Find your catalog on your hard drive, and rename the Previews.lrdata or move it to another location - you can delete it later when we know the new one's ok. Now restart LR, go to Grid view, select all and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Previews. Hopefully that'll bring back your previews and if everything looks correct, you can then delete the previous one.

After selecting an image in Library mode (grid view), my selection of image jumps to another image.

Through several versions of Lightroom, I have encountered this problem. I choose an image in Library mode while in Grid view and the image jumps to another that I have not chosen. This happens about 75% of the time. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know of a remedy. I am using a Mac.

You are using the Option key to access the Library under the Go finder Menu?
Click in the Go menu the hold the Option key and you will see Library appear, otherwise is is hidden.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

I don't do a lot of dragging to custom arrange my images. But the custom order is right at the bottom of the list of sort orders on my computer.
Added later: But don't worry about the custom order. It doesn't make any difference on my system. Are you sure you are dragging the image itself, and not the border around the image?

Sharpening tool is not working in library mode or export LR 4.4

I was editing phots when I suddenly realized that sharpening tool, neither the adjustment brush for sharpening or ordinary sharpening, would be shown in Library mode or when photos were exported. When I see the picture in Develop mode, they seem fine and I can adjust the sharpness as usual. So something goes wrong between Develop and Library mode.
I have Lightroom 4.4. The ISO level in the pictures are not high at all, so that is not the problem, as I have read some explanaitions of. When I see the picture in 1:1 in both modes, they look the same after sharpening. But if I zoom more, I can definately see big differences.
Can someone explain what is wrong? Is this a bug?
Thank you in advance.

Aha, that explains the Library mode. Still can't see the changes in the exported pictures, though. Everything else works.
Are you running 4.1 or 4.1.1? Maybe that dot release will fix the issue if you're running an older version. And when you Export, do you have sharpening settings on there too? What about Edit In Photoshop command? Do you see the sharpening that way?

I have selected Print and a image is shown. When selected in library mode the image I want is shown, different image in print mode? How do I get the image in library mode to show and print?

When I select an image in library mode the image I want it is shown. When I go to print mode a different image is shown. Why doees this happen? How do I get my required image to show and print?

Sharpening treatment gets lost on export or library mode.

I use Lightroom 5.5 with Windows 7, RAW-photos imported as dng. If I use sharpening and noise treating in the develop mode I loose my modulation if I go back to library mode. The same problem comes up on exporting the photo. So I can't profit of any sharpening.

As CSS Simon stated, there are many posts on this currently "normal" LR behavior, and a both a Bug Report and Feature Request to change it have been submitted.

Option to allow filmstrip to work the same in both develop and library mode

First of all, let me say that one of the greatest features that LR2 brings to the table it the keyboard shortcuts for adjusting things in develop mode. That is the single improvement that has really made a HUGE difference in editing images the way I work.
I'm so happy to be able to get almost everything on the keyboard, that I wanted to point this out.
When in library mode, I can select a series of images in a row using shift + an arrow key. When I'm done adjusting the images, I can press the right arrow key, and I've now effectively deselected all the previous images, and gone on to the next one. This is intuitive and makes sense to me.
But in Develop mode, pressing the right arrow key swings me back around to the first image on the left.
Perhaps for the way some people works, this makes a lot of sense. For me, there's no reason that I would need to do this.
Of course I can deselect all photos (apple-D), but then to get back on track, I have to go to the mouse to select the next image. I would like the option of having the filmstrip act the same way in both modes.
Another solution would be to continue to allow the "Select only active photo" shortcut that is available in Library mode, but for some reason is not available in Develop mode.
Yes, this is a small change, but I feel like things are getting so close to perfect that I wanted to chime in with something that in the end I think will really help to speed up people who have to work through and adjust a large number of images.

Hi,
If the songs were purchased from itunes, I suggest that you delete the tracks from your itunes library and move to trash (providing you live in a country that permits redownloading). See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

Noise adjustments not seen in develop mode, but in library mode

Hi all -
After trying my new copy of LR3, I'm noticing some discrepencies in the library, develop and exported modes. For example, the develop view doesn't show the noise reduction applied to the whole image, but the library mode does - to a degree. The exported image in Photoshop looks somewhere between the library mode and the develp preview. Any reason why? I'd like to get a consistent view which represents the actual changes.

Thank you. However, is there a reason why the libray view shows the applied noise reducton on the whole image preview bu develop does not? While
I do use the 100% box, I'd also like to see how the entire image will look once the noise is applied. Also, for whatever reason the NR looks different in Photoshop somehwere between the library full preview and the develop full preview.
I feel that these sorts of things are far more important than Facebook and Flicker features.
