LR3 Mac Bug - Survey View Flagging

Bug: When viewing multiple photos in Survey view (N) you are unable to flag/rate/color just one photo. Instead, all photos get that rating.
This would seem to render the Survey view useless for editing purposes. Previous releases of LR do not behave this way.
Is ther a new setting I'm unaware of or is this a true bug?
Cheers.

Ah...
Thanks.

Bug - LR3.2 unable to reorder photos in quick collection / survey view

After editing photos in Photoshop CS3, I'm looking at them in Quick Collection and want to reorder them before export. But it doesn't work. Sometimes I can move a photo one place, but not two, sometimes not at all. I have other RAW photos in Quick Collection. I seem to be able to reorder them amongst themselves, but not move them into the Photoshop .psd photos. I sometimes get an error message "cannot complete assertion", sometimes accompanied by crash.
First time I've seen this. Also Photoshop files are now appearing as the first images in quick collection whereas they used to be grouped next to the RAW file I was editing.
Similar behaviour in Survey View.

These .psd photos appear to be corrupted in some way. One didn't show the changes I had made in PS, but then when I reopened in PS the changes reappeared. I was able to reorder them finally in a Collection.

Flagging in Survey View

I'm not sure how to explain this, but I'll try because I seriously want to cry...
When sorting photos, I set the filter to "unflagged" and then bring up 5-6 photos in Survey view. I then would start at the 1st photo and either flag or reject (thus it disappeared from view because of the filter) and LR2 would automatically advance me to the next photo. I can sort through hundreds of photos very, very quickly which is great as I shoot a lot of weddings.
So, LR3 won't let me do this. If I have a group of photos selected and either flag or reject, it applies this setting to ALL the photos in the larger selection, not just the one highlighted. I'm stumped. Previously, you could only batch photos in Grid view (which I can understand the complaints and why they probably changed this feature), but I have no idea how to sort my photos in a timely manner. I have to view 4-5 photos and pick the best one, and clicking on the 'x' to remove it from my selection, and THEN having to click on the photo later and reject is time consuming and too many clicks. I want keyboard shortcuts.
HELP! Please!! Even if I can't get around this, and you have a better way to sort weddings photos, I'd be much appreciative.
Thanks!

When I flag the first one, LR3 flags them all and they all disappear.
Shoot. And Adobe help isn't open until Monday. sigh
Is it possible you have AutoSync switched on by accident:
AutoSync is actually a very dangerous switch to be left on after using it.

Lightroom 5 - Bug in Survey view?

Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, it's the first time I've used these forums and I couldn't find anywhere else to submit a bug report.
I've recently started using Lightroom and have started with Lightroom 5. I've found that sometimes when switching between Loupe view and Survey view the images in Survey view are different sizes or in the wrong place:
I think it's after something has happened which will remove an image from the current selection while in Loupe view, on returning to Survey view not all images have been re-sized and re-positioned. It only seems to happen if Lightroom is trying to catch up after a lot of activity.
So the sequence I used to cause the second image was to go from Survey view to Loupe view using the E key shortcut, navigate between various images in the selection with the cursor keys (I did this quite quickly, so Lightroom was slightly delayed in its responses), press X to reject one of the images, which caused the image to no longer match my filter, then quickly after press N to return to Survey view. Doing anything which would cause a refresh of the images, such as contracting and expanding the section on the right, causes the images to sort themselves out.
I'm using Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7, let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks,
Andy

I haven't seen this in GRID view but there is a problem with phantom images being selected in Compare View and after leaving Compare View. This is another of many LONGSTANDING bugs still not fixed in LR5.3. This was reported almost a year ago. This is a SEVERE bug as you can accidentally delete or change images after using compare as images are selected that you don't know about.
A couple threads

As you can see in this clip, no photos are selected in the film strip, one photo is selected in the main window and the info line says there are two photos selected. If you switch to GRID it will show no photos selected but if you do a remove photo command, two photos will be removed. Severe bug as far as I am concerned.

Wrong aspect ratio in Survey view

I selected 3 photos and went to the Survey view. Of these photos, 2 were full frame, and 1 was cropped so it has a wider aspect ratio than the full-frame pictures. Survey view showed all 3 the same size, so the cropped one was stretched vertically and looked horrible. What's up with that?
...Lightroom 1.1 on Mac OS X.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's a good tip to keep in my back pocket.
I don't think this is what happened here though -- the preview image looks correct at all other views in Library mode (grid thumbnail, loupe view, and compare view are all correct; it's only screwed up in survey view). No amount of switching between views, or invoking Library->Preview->Render (1:1 or standard or telling it to discard and rerender) fixes the one in survey.
It also turns out this is reproducible on demand, if I go from survey view on an uncropped photo straight to develop, crop, and return to survey: if I select 3 images, hit N to enter survey mode, click one of the images, hit R to go to Develop and enter crop mode, crop the image, hit E to return to Library, hit N to go back to Survey... the photo I just cropped has the wrong aspect ratio.
If I quit Lightroom and reinvoke it, that corrects the bogus shape of the image in Survey view. I haven't yet found any other way to correct the shape.
As an added bonus, if I go back and forth between Survey and Crop (using R from the Survey page), Lightroom will pretty quicly get in a state where it's stuck in Library and any attempt to go to Develop will say "unable to switch modules", and I have to quit and restart Lr before I can use Develop.

Question: How to display rating in SURVEY VIEW

Hi,
I've been using Lightroom for years. I love to use the SURVEY mode. But today, I couldn't see the rating stars under each photo in Survey mode; I only see the flag status. Now, it's probably something I did, like hitting a shortkey or something... but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to bring back that visual information. After searching online + fiddling around with the settings, I finally thought I'd come here and ask if anyone knows...
Thanks!
PS. Lightroom 4.3RC (why 4.3 RC, because I'm one of those plagged with a super slow Lightroom in develop mode, especially with my D800 files! I'm crossing my fingers with each RC update that the software will be faster... )

Thanks Rikk!
your screenshot pointed me in the right direction. It just happens that I had changed the background color of the Survey View, and the stars rating were now blending with the background, creating the illusion of them not being there.

Survey view causes crash

LR 3.2 + iMac Snow Leopard. Every time I click Survey View LR crashes. I have the bug report - who do I send it to?

Welcome to the discussions, matthewepler.
If the problem is October, and the user is in Brazil, I immediately suspect a time zone issue. I don't know if the problem was ever solved. See this thread for a work-around.

Opening stack automatically in survey view

I'm using Lightroom 5, and was wondering if there's a quick way to display all items in a stack in Survey View.
Right now, I can do that by:
Expanding the stack
Selecting all items in the stack
Switching to survey view
I was wondering if there was a quick way to click on the stack and get it to open in Survey View.
Failing that I was wondering if I could automatically select all the items in a stack.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Perfect! One of the many permutations I hadn't tried. Thanks!

Survey view in Library module is unfair

Whenever I'm using survey view in the Library module to select a few photos, and I'm having photos of both landscape and portrait orientation, either one of them is displayed considerably smaller than the other.
I think it would be nice if both orientations were displayed the same size, like in grid view, because when I select from a collection of photos, I slightly tend to favor photos that are bigger.
Marc

True.

Add photos to a specific Collection from Survey view?

When I'm doing my edit from a shoot, I often use the Survey view to look at groups of images. Also, I use collections as a way to store selections into future use categories like Contests 2010, Portfolio, etc. In Survey, it seems only possible to add photos to a Quick Collection or view it in an existing collection, but I want to be able to add it to other collections either via drag & drop or by contextual menu. Is this possible to do this and if not, is this something other users find useful enough to add as a feature request?

I think the drag and drop would be difficult to implement as all the images in Survey View have to be targeted.
However, if one had the ability to set more than one target collection rather than a single collection or the Quick Collection I think that could be useful for organizing while in Survey View. Just as we can change the meaning of the color labels we could be able to select say, five different collections and assign a target shortcut to them. So whie in survey view (or any view for that matter) I could hit 22 and the image)s) would be added to any collection I deemed to have a target of 22. Add the shift key so as not to confuse with Ratings.
Currently I cannot suggest a simpler way for you since you state that you are in Survey View. A feature request? Sure go ahead and make one.

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Colour washed out in .Mac web gallery viewed in Camino, but OK in Safari

The colour of images exported to .Mac web gallery viewed under Camino is washed out, but it is OK in Safari.
As Camino is my main browser, I hope that this can be fixed.
Does anyone come across this problem, and got a solution?

Charles
This can be fixed, but it's a fix for the makers of Camino, not iPhoto. The reason is that Safari is one of the very few Web Browsers that respects the Color Profiles embedded in the images. Camino doesn't. It should.

New problem rating image in Survey View when multiple selected - help!

When we are in Survey View, normally we can have multiple images selected and when we use any star rating it rates only one image (the best), but midway through an editing session it just started rating all images selected at once. I know that this is the standard way that ratings operate in Library (Grid View), but never before has Survey View (N) done this. We rebooted and optimized the catalog, but nothing has helped. Please let me know if you have any fixed or thoughts as to what the problem would be.

You are welcome Kevin.
Another thing I find helpful when rating or labeling, is to engage the Caps Lock. When a rating or label is applied by hitting a number, LR automatically advances to the next image in the filmstrip. This works in all modules.

Survey view organization problem, cannot organize images in order I want without images shifting randomly

I want to be able to organize my images in survey view in lightroom 2 in the order I want them to be. this way I can export them in the order the portfolio reviewer will see them in. when I have 20 images in survey view and I try to rearrange them, they scatter about on their own? help

Survey mode is not designed for rearranging photos into a User-specified order. You will need to use the Grid View [G] for this.

Bug when viewing tables?

There seems to be a bug when viewing tables with identical names in different schemas in SQL Developer. When I view table information in one schema and then go to a table with identical name in another schema the view isn't updated, it still shows the information for the table from the first schema. I have to select another table in the second schema before I select the table I want to look at to get the information correct.
I have the same problem with views, so this is probably the case for all kinds of objects.
Regards,
Sveinung

I have found that the problem is even more specific. It occurs only when I view schemas in different databases.
I am not sure that I understand what you mean about abstracted script. I have tried to create a simple test case with two scripts, one for each database, that creates a table, inserts some data and creates a view on the table.
I have not found a way to upload files, so I have pasted the contents into this thread along with a description of the steps in the GUI. I have run the scripts on Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0) databases.
-- SCRIPT 1
CREATE TABLE test_table
col_1 NUMBER,
col_2 VARCHAR2(6)
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (1, 'ROW 1')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (2, 'ROW 2')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (3, 'ROW 3')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (4, 'ROW 4')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (5, 'ROW 5')
COMMIT
CREATE VIEW test_view AS SELECT * FROM test_table
-- END SCRIPT 1
Run script 1 in some schema in a database.
-- SCRIPT 2
CREATE TABLE test_table
col_1 NUMBER,
col_2 VARCHAR2(6),
col_3 VARCHAR2(12)
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (1, 'ROW 1', 'COL 3 ROW 1')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (2, 'ROW 2', 'COL 3 ROW 2')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (3, 'ROW 3', 'COL 3 ROW 3')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (4, 'ROW 4', 'COL 3 ROW 4')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (5, 'ROW 5', 'COL 3 ROW 5')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (6, 'ROW 6', 'COL 3 ROW 6')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (7, 'ROW 7', 'COL 3 ROW 7')
COMMIT
CREATE VIEW test_view AS SELECT * FROM test_table
-- END SCRIPT 2
Run script 2 in some schema in another database.
Connect to the two databases in SQL Developer.
Select the table in the first database, then select Data.
Then select the table in the other database. In my system the data are not refreshed. This is also the case when I look at the views.
Hope this description is good enough.
