Rating bug?

When I view an image full screen in Library mode, I can click on the stars appearing in the toolbar, lower left, to set a rating for the image.
If I switch from Library to Develop mode, make some adjustments (ie, crop, exposure, etc.) and return to the Library mode, the stars are not active -- I have to right click and use the contextual hierarchical menu to set the rating. It doesn't matter if the rating has already been set previously in Library before going to Develop. After returning to Library from Develop, the stars can't be used to set the rating.
This seems like a functinal bug to me. (Granted, not a major issue, but a bug nevertheless.)
[Mac OS X 10.4.8]

I have the same problem with color labels. After returning to the Grid from Develop, I can not set a color label using the tool bar on the active image unless I move to another image and then return to the one I was editing. Using the menu or right-click menu still works, however.

Intelligent playlist from rating bug?

Just tried to create an intelligent playlist from all my 4 star ratings. Looks like there is a bug in iTunes 6.0.2 (23). If you hit 4th star, it goes straight to 5. To select 4 stars, you've got to point somewhere in the region of the second star. To me it looks like the pixel math is broken there as 5 stars get selected in the region of the first 2-3 (prob. a 2x factor missing, somehow)? Can someone confirm this, please?

This bug is discussed several times in this forum.
Apple has published an article about that and a possible workaround:
iTunes 6.0.2: Wrong number of rating stars when configuring Smart Playlist rule
Hope this helps.

Rating a song when the album already has a rating (BUG)

I think this is a bug; I haven't noticed it before iTunes 9/iPhone OS 3.1:
If I have an music ALBUM rated in iTunes (but not a SONG rating), when playing an individual SONG on the iPhone, it shows the ALBUM rating as if it was for the SONG itself. This is confusing, since I'm trying to catch up on my song ratings (but I can't tell if I have rated it, or not).
But (here is the bug), if I apply a rating to the individual SONG (from the iPhone), it will save and sync that rating back to iTunes, UNLESS the SONG rating is the same as the rating I gave to the ALBUM. In this case, the song rating isn't saved/synced. After syncing my iPhone back to iTunes, the SONG rating stays as a "hollow" star.
Has anyone seen this? Can anyone understand what I wrote?
Is there a fix? (besides un-rating my albums; actually, I don't think albums can be un-rated).

Drag the artwork from the artwork window to the desktop. Then, select the song without artwork and drag the artwork to the blank artwork window.

Bug in LR 3.4 changing folders show not the 1st photo after setting rating filter

Bug in LR 3.4 ?
In the Library module, I have several folders.
Folder 1 contains 100 photo's
Folder 2 contains 100 photo's
After rating the photo's in folder 1 (let say I rated 10 photo's with one star, then I changed the viewing status to Filters - Rated - > 1star) and I get to see the 10 photo's
Then I switch to folder 2 (which has filters off). In stead of beginning with photo 1 (the beginning), it starts the focus on the image wich is no 17 or anyway much higher (i think the photo no of the 1st rated photo in folder 2).
Has anyone experienced this behaviour?

Yes,
folder 1: Filter - Rating > *
folder 2: Filters OFF
And both are sorted at Capture Time. So when changing from folder 1 (with rating) to folder 2 (without rating) it starts not at the beginning.
I have also a folder 3 without rating (same as folder 2), and if I go from folder 3 to folder 2 it starts at the beginning as it should be.
Also: if have the following setup concerning filters:
Library Filters: - Lock Filter
Library Filters: - Remember each source's filter separately (so I can change the filter settings on each folder)
NOTE, I can reproduce it:
It appears that switching from folder 1 to folder2 (as described above) the focus on folder 2 is the first picture with a rating, and NOT the first picture at all. And that is with Filters OFF. Switching from folder 1 to folder 3 (no photos are rated in this folder),it starts at the first photo (as expected).

ITunes bug? Rating stars won't click-drag left-right anymore

The latest iTunes patch (v10.1.0.54 running on Windows 7) seems to have an annoying bug: When I'm rating a song, it immediately takes my initial click, regardless of whether I hold down the mouse button -- whereas I used to be able to click in the area where the rating stars are, hold down the mouse button, and then drag out the stars to the rating I wanted, e.g. 4 stars. Now, however, iTunes ignores the fact that I'm holding down the mouse button and sets the rating at whatever position I initially click, e.g. 1 star.
The reason this is a super-annoying problem is that I only ever listen to smart playlists that filter out songs with low star ratings. So now as soon as I click a song to rate it, if I happen to initially click less than a 3-star rating, it immediately disappears. After I'm finished cursing at the computer, I have to go find the song under my general Music Library and re-rate it so it will show back up in my "smart" playlists. Grr.
Incidentally, I was able to drag the stars as normal one time -- but other than that one instance, it has not worked at all since the most recent patch. Please, Apple, please please please fix this bug. It's causing me a serious headache.

UPDATE: This bug only affects iTunes configured to allow half-star ratings.
I normally have my ItunesPrefs.xml file configured to use half-stars, with this line:
<key>allow-half-stars</key>
<data>
dHJ1ZQ==
</data>
After testing removal of the line, the click-drag on whole stars works normally. So it appears this bug exists only for those who only use half stars.
Is there any hope of Apple fixing the click-drag problem when half-stars are enabled?

Bug? Rated photos won't laod on 5G iPod

Does anyone else have this issue. I posted earlier about problems getting all my photos on my ipod and only unrated photos got loaded. So I got home and put no rating on all those same photos and they loaded. Can anyone else confirm this?

Rating Photos??? Is this an Apple computer feature only?? I have seen nothing in my Windows version about rating photos.

6.0.2 BUG: setting rating in smart playlists

I created a smart playlist and wanted to match all songs that were not one star. When I click on the section with the stars, I can select any number (and the number of stars follow the mouse as I drag it - as expected). However, when I release the mouse, the number of stars changes. I can only select 0, 2, 4, or 5 stars -- not 1 or 3. The cursor location -> number of stars mapping seems wrong because clicking on the first star yields 2 stars, but clicking on the second star yields 4 stars.
Selecting stars works fine in the library view.

Bugs I've Encountered In PSE 7

Here are all the reproducible bugs I’ve encountered in PSE 7. Problems added since my last posting are marked [N]. In the coming weeks, I’ll evaluate PSE 8 to see how many of these have been fixed.
I’ve reported all of these problems to Adobe. Almost all of them are in the Organizer. Based on all the reports on the forums, it appears that the Editor has far fewer problems than the Organizer. Perhaps that’s because the Editor shares the same code with the professional Photoshop, while the Organizer appears to be an orphaned consumer product whose development Adobe has moved offshore.
For reference, my computer is a midrange Vista laptop with a dual-core 1.9 GHz processor, 4 GB of memory, and a 7200 RPM disk (the same speed as desktop disks).
File Management and Tagging
Major Problems
[N] The conversion of a catalog from PSE 6 to PSE 7 doesn’t properly handle photos that are stored within the PSE 6 catalog folder (as occurs when PSE 6 was used to restore a catalog from a backup). As a result, it isn’t possible to save photos in version sets, and PSE 7 will create duplicate thumbnails in the Organizer for an edited file.
File > Backup/Restore Catalog doesn’t backup and restore audio in slide shows.
Using Folder Location view to move a folder containing hidden files imported in the catalog will silently fail to move the hidden files and will leave the unhidden files disconnected in the catalog.
When converting a previous-version catalog whose photos are stored inside the catalog folder, as occurs when you’ve previously used File > Restore Catalog with New Location, PSE 7 needlessly copies all those photos. If you have a very large catalog, this will waste huge amounts of disk space; and if there isn’t enough disk space to do the copy, the conversion will fail instantly with a generic non-explanatory error message.
After reconnecting a file on a network drive, PSE will let you import the file a second time, failing to recognize it as a duplicate. The catalog is left in an inconsistent state, with two entries in the volume table for the network drive, one upper case and one lower case.
The Organizer fails very ungracefully when two drives have the same volume serial number, e.g. because of the use of a disk-cloning utility.
I’m very disappointed that Adobe didn’t add the three lines of code that would have issued a warning when it discovered two drives with the same number. While most people will never encounter this, when it strikes someone, its symptoms are very mysterious.
The Reconnect command fails to reconnect when: you move your photos to a new drive, assign the drive the letter of the old drive to the new one, and leave both drives connected to your computer.
If a hard drive containing photos in the catalog gets its drive letter reassigned by Windows, then the left-hand folder pane of Display > Folder Location view shows the old drive letter, not the new one, as containing the photos.
This sounds innocuous, but it led a user on the forums to select the wrong drive when dragging and dropping a folder, permanently deleting some files. This bug and the previous one with Reconnect have the same underlying cause – the Organizer doesn’t update drive letters in its catalog.
Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents when more than one keyword tag is selected in the Keyword Tags pane.
Based on reports on the forums, there appear to be other situations where Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents, but they haven’t been easy to reproduce.
The Restore Catalog command puts the wrong path into the restored catalog for folders whose name starts with the catalog name, and it will mark files in those folders as missing. For example if the catalog is named “houses”, and a folder containing photos in the catalog is named “houses photos”, files in the restored catalog will have the path “houses\ photos\” instead of “houses photos\”.
Minor Problems
In File > Export, the Common Basename can no longer be empty, and a hyphen is added automatically, so you can no longer get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
You can get files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. but you can’t get files named p1.jpg, p2.jpg, etc. – a hyphen is still added in that case.
Setting the Apply Metadata > Author or Copyright fields or the option Preserve Current Filename In XMP of the advanced options of the Photo Downloader causes duplicate files to be downloaded and imported.
Integration with Photoshop.com
Major problems
[N] Photoshop.com shows an incorrect date/time taken for photos with unknown month, day, or time.
For photos taken in years prior to 1970, the date/time shows as 12/31/1969 08:00 AM. For photos with year taken 1970 or later, the date/time shows as the the first month/day/minute/second in that time period in UTC that then gets converted to local time; e.g. “7/2/2005” gets shown as “7/1/2005 5:00 PM” for a user in PDT.
[N] Photoshop.com doesn’t obey the EXIF Orientation metadata field and can show photos rotated incorrectly, e.g. if they were rotated with the PSE option Edit > Preferences > Files > Rotate JPEGs/TIFFs Using Orientation Metadata.
Changes to the order of photos in a PSE album aren’t synced to Photoshop.com, and vice versa.
Adding a photo to a second synced album will cause Photoshop.com to lose any changes you’ve made with PSE’s Edit > Adjust Date And Time.
If you you rename a file that’s synced with Photoshop.com, Photoshop.com doesn’t pick up the new name (important if you’re using Photoshop.com as a backup service).
Only the top photo in a version set is synced with Photoshop.com (so you can’t rely on Photoshop.com to backup version sets).
When a stack is synced with Photoshop.com, all the photos in the stack are synced, but the fact that they were in a stack is lost (so you can’t rely on Photoshop.com to backup stacks).
Map View
Major Problems
Map view is unusably slow with more than about 6-8,000 mapped photos.
When I tested PSE 7 by importing 12,000 photos (the size of my catalog) that had GPS locations, the red push-pins didn’t blink uncontrollably as they did in PSE 6. But the Organizer crashed a number of times when I tried to zoom and pan the Map view until I was able to scroll the map to another country and then back again. The CPU continued to consume 80% of a single CPU (40% of two), even 10 minutes after I closed Map view. When I selected Limit Search to Map Area, PSE took over a minute to respond.
It takes 5 seconds to assign a keyword tag to a photo if there are 1,000 or more photos with map locations.
In PSE 7, it takes 3 seconds with 1,000 photos, 12 seconds with 8,000 photos, and 18 seconds with 12,000 photos.
Giving a map location to a tag assigned to hundreds of photos makes both the Keywords pane and the Map view unusably slow.
Giving a map location to a tag assigned to 2000 photos makes assigning any keyword tag to a photo very slow (see above). Searching on keyword tags takes 15 seconds, and a Show All takes 15 seconds.
Removing the map push-pin of a tag assigned to hundreds of photos mistakenly tries to update the metadata of each photo, which can take tens of minutes and fill up your recycle bin.
The weird thing is that assigning a map location to the tag doesn’t try to write the metadata of files with that tag.
Moving map locations always fails, silently (too bad if you want to record backcountry locations not namable via a place name).
If a photo with GPS coordinates is imported, it doesn’t show as a red push-pin on the map.
Scrolling the map or restarting the Organizer causes the pin to appear.
Color Management
Major Problems
The Organizer considers photos produced by cameras set to the color space Adobe RGB as untagged with a color profile, showing their colors incorrectly.
Metadata
Major Problems
When setting the Organizer’s date/time for imported photos containing EXIF:DateTimeOriginal but not XMP:DateTimeOriginal, PSE 7 doesn’t properly handle US Daylight Savings Time in years prior to 2007.
Edit > Adjust Date and Time doesn’t properly handle US Daylight Savings Time when setting date/times many decades ago, e.g. October 5, 1961 12:00 PM.
In Thumbnail View, the Organizer incorrectly orders files that have unknown time. For example, it will show a file dated 12/25/1976 8:00 PM PST after a file dated 12/26/1976 (unknown time) on a computer in time zone PST.
If you set a file's date/time fields to all unknown with Edit > Adjust Date And Time, the value of EXIF:DateTimeOriginal isn't cleared by File > Write Keyword Tag.
The File > Write Keyword Tag command doesn’t create or update .XMP sidecars for Nikon D300 or D80 .NEF raw files (but it does for Canon CR2 raw files).
New dates set by Edit > Adjust Date and Time sometimes get silently lost.
See http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Date/times_of_files for details and workarounds.
[N] Edit > Adjust Date and Time > Shift To New Starting Date And Time and > Shift By Set Number Of Hours writes the time in UTC rather than local time, as required by the standard, causing other tools to show the wrong date/time.
File > Write Keyword Tags and Properties fails to write the map location (GPS coordinates) of TIFFs (tested with TIFFs produced by the PSE Editor and the Nikon Coolscan V, Nikon Coolscan 5000, and Epson 4490 scanners).
File > Write Keyword Tags doesn’t write the map location (GPS coordinates) into the .xmp sidecar files of Nikon D80 or Canon G9 raw photos.
[N] The Organizer ignores correctly formatted EXIF GPS locations in some files that many other programs can read without trouble; this may be because the EXIF is encoded in little-endian byte order.
Minor Problems
[N] Deselecting the option Use “Last Modified” Date If EXIF Date Is Not Found does not work – the last-modified date is always used for an imported file that doesn’t contain an EXIF date.
The Properties – Metadata window shows the wrong value for Date Time Original when the month, day, or time is unknown.
Edit > Adjust Date and Time applied to a file with time “unknown” decrements the date by one day.
When you save an edited photo as a new file but not in a version set, the edited version picks up the date/time and caption of the original but not the keyword tags, star rating, or notes.
With the Import EXIF Caption option turned off, captions pre-existing in a file’s EXIF:ImageDescription metadata field reappear in the Organizer after invoking the Full Editor.
Searching
Major Problems
The timeline doesn’t correctly display date ranges spanning many years.
Using the Keyword Tags pane, you can no longer exclude a parent category from a search, e.g. exclude all photos tagged with any tag in the People category.
The User Guide gives two examples of how to use category exclusion that just don’t work in PSE 6 or 7. Interestingly, you can almost work around this by doing a text search of “not <category tag>”, e.g. “not People”. But this will also exclude photos that happen to have the word “people” in their filenames, captions, or notes, probably not what you want.
Find > By History > Imported On sorts the photo dates alphabetically, rather than by date/time, and it takes a couple of minutes on a large catalog, making the command almost useless; and it shows a scary message “Deleting Keyword Tags”.
[N] Searching with the Find Bar for “1 star and lower” doesn’t show photos with 0 stars.
Find > By Details > Rating Is Lower Than 1 Star does work.
Searching for “0 stars only” doesn’t work for photos in a catalog converted from PSE 5.
Searching with date ranges doesn’t properly handle time “unknown”.
Minor Problems
The Show All button sometimes doesn’t appear if you quickly type a query into the Search text box and hit Enter.
Setting a date range and then excluding two tags from the search clears the date range.
Show All doesn’t clear a date range set by Find > Set Date Range (can be very confusing).
Save Search Criteria As Smart Album isn’t available if a date range has been set but no other search criteria have been.
When searching, you can exclude a keyword tag and then include an album, but you can’t do it in the other order.
User Interface
Major Problems
On 1024x768 displays, and sometimes at higher resolutions, the Editor Print window is positioned to perfectly obscure the scroll bar of the drop-down list of printer profiles, leading people to think their printer’s profiles aren’t available.
This bug occurred with higher-resolution displays in PSE 6.
The menu bars don’t display if you have changed the screen DPI to be larger than 96 (as many people do on today’s ubiquitous high-res displays).
There is a workaround for both PSE 6 and 7. Set the option > Edit > Preferences > General > Use System Font. The result isn’t that pretty, since some of the application text will be large and some will be small, but it’s functional, and you’ll still be able to use the higher DPI with all your other applications.
Minor Problems
In the Properties window of Full Screen mode, if you click in the Notes field and do Ctrl-A to select all the text, then click in the Caption field and do Ctrl-A to select its text, the notes remain highlighted.
In the Organizer, Help > System Info reports the wrong amount for “Built-in Memory” on computers with more than 2GB of installed memory. (The command reports the correct amount in the Editor.)
The setting of View > Show Borders Around Thumbnails isn’t remembered after you restart PSE.
Copying a paragraph from Microsoft Word and pasting it into the Notes field of a keyword tag causes some of the spaces between words to be deleted.
Ctrl-A to select all text doesn’t work in the text fields of the Properties window.
Interestingly, you can use ctrl-A in the text fields of the full-screen mode Properties window.
In the full Editor, if at least one open photo is minimized to the Project Bin, Ctrl-Tab no longer cycles through the open windows.
Dialogs in the Editor sometimes bounce back when you try to move them.
Dates are shown by Display > Import Batch as 2\20\2008 rather than 2/20/2008.
In Create > Slide Show > Slide Show Preferences dialog, you can't use backspace or delete to clear the text in the Static and Transition Duration fields -- you need to select the text and then type over the selection (non-standard Windows behavior).
Escape doesn’t close the full-screen-mode Properties dialog.
You can’t use the Windows Explorer Tile command to tile the PSE Organizer and Editor windows.
The Editor window can’t be resized the standard Windows way by grabbing any edge, just the lower-right corner.
Alt doesn’t underline the shortcut letters of top-level menu items in the Full Editor (but it does in the Organizer).
The width of the Editor's Palette Bin can't be adjusted by dragging the left edge, as you can with all the other similar panes (Project Bin, Organizer Bin, Map View).
Slide Shows
Major Problems
The duration of a video clip included in a Slide Show is set to the default duration, not the length of the video clip, and right-click Edit Duration doesn’t change the clip’s duration.
For video clips, PSE 7 doesn’t enable the command to change the duration as it does for photos. But you can work around this by using Add Media > Photos And Videos From Folder to add the clip to the show.
An audio caption attached to a photo isn’t imported into a slide show even though the option Include Audio Captions as Narration is selected.
Editor
Minor Problems
[N] The Editor crashes if you invoke Quick Fix and use just one Touch Up tool (e.g. Whiten Teeth) and then save the file (but your changes are correctly saved).
The File > Save For Web command doesn’t remember the last settings (e.g. file format and quality) after your restart the Editor.
For a workaround, see http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Allow_Save_For.

Just kidding. But, are you going to give us a bug comparison between 7 and 8 ? I will probably sit version 8 out and get 9 next year. Thanks for the list!

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running google maps app on the phone. Siri cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Thanks.

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high?
How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?
Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

Rating / Label "Buttons" active, although not shown in Grid View

While I was investigating the reason for JPEG images being written back with no obvious changes applied to them (see also How to filter on Metadata Status "Has been changed"?) I noticed something I think is a bug:
Becaus it sometimes happened to me that I unintentially changed the rating for a picture because I wanted to click into the frame of an image to select it as the only image, I have set my Library View Options as follows for Compact Cell Extras (for a better description also see Grid View: Flags, Rating, Color Label read only? / Mark Images Read only?):
Index Number checked
Top Label checked with File Name
Rotation unchecked
Bottom Label unchecked with Rating and Label
Now, if I click into the area, where rating or color label would show (if shown), the rating of the images changes. So I am clicking on an option I don't even see ...
This was one of the reasons, why metadata in pictures sometimes would get updated without me knowing why. Anybody else who has experienced this behaviour?

P.S: My workaround now is to have Common Photo Settings shown in the bottom label.

Yes it's a bug. I see it on Mac platform.

Is this a bug in mx:ComboBox ?

Hi All,
I'm using a mx:ComboBox control in my extension project for InDesign CS5/CS55.5/CS6 using Extension Builder 2.1, Flash Builder 4.6 and Extension Builder 3.4 SDK.
Problem:
When I click my ComboBox control(the text part excluding the down arrow part) after switching application to another and then back to InDesign, the list is shown and then closed quickly. Again if I click on ComboBox then the list is displayed properly.
Is this a BUG in mx:ComboBox ?
Please suggest any solutions/workaround to fix the issue.

Now I'm sure that its a BUG in mx:ComboBox(Mac OS X Lion, InDesign CS5.5) as I'm able to reproduce in Adobe's Kuler panel also as follows,
Open Kuler panel and switch to Browse tab.
Then switch application(Cmd+Tab) and come back to InDesign.
Then click on any combo-box(Highest Rated or All Time).
We see that the combo-box is not opened for the first time.
Any help/suggestion/workaround is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Rating in compare mode not working as it should?

I have the impression that in 2.7 the rating of a pic was
independent of the rating of the other pic. That seems not to be the case anymore.
Can someone confirm this?

Well... I don't see auto sync in the compare mode. There is a sync button in the toolbar but clicking it doesn't change the button. When in grid mode the first has 2 stars, the second 1 star and when I go to compare mode both have 2 stars, back to grid the first has two and the second has one star... mmm... seems a bug? Playing around with ratings shows some eratic behaviour. When both have stars (in compare mode that is), and I change the candidate to 1 star, all stars from the candidate disappear and the select gets one star. Back in grid that stays that way.
Anyone else see this
(I am on windows xpp)

Bugs Ive Encountered In PSE 7

Here are all the reproducible bugs Ive encountered in PSE 7. Problems added since my last posting on 10/5/08 are marked [N]. Because of limitations of the forum, this list is split across several messages.
Ive reported all of these problems to Adobe. Almost all of them are in the Organizer. Based on all the reports on the forums, it appears that the Editor has far fewer problems than the Organizer. Perhaps thats because the Editor shares the same code with the professional Photoshop, while the Organizer appears to be an orphaned consumer product whose development Adobe has moved offshore.

File Management and Tagging
Major Problems
[N] File > Backup/Restore Catalog doesnt backup and restore audio in slide shows.
[N] Using Folder Location view to move a folder containing hidden files imported in the catalog will silently fail to move the hidden files and will leave the unhidden files disconnected in the catalog.
[N] When converting a previous-version catalog whose photos are stored inside the catalog folder, as occurs when youve previously used File > Restore Catalog with New Location, PSE 7 needlessly copies all those photos. If you have a very large catalog, this will waste huge amounts of disk space; and if there isnt enough disk space to do the copy, the conversion will fail instantly with a generic non-explanatory error message.
[N] After reconnecting a file on a network drive, PSE will let you import the file a second time, failing to recognize it as a duplicate. The catalog is left in an inconsistent state, with two entries in the volume table for the network drive, one upper case and one lower case.
The Organizer fails very ungracefully when two drives have the same volume serial number, e.g. because of the use of a disk-cloning utility.
]Im very disappointed that Adobe didnt add the three lines of code that would have issued a warning when it discovered two drives with the same number. While most people will never encounter this, when it strikes someone, its symptoms are very mysterious.
The Reconnect command fails to reconnect when: you move your photos to a new drive, assign the drive the letter of the old drive to the new one, and leave both drives connected to your computer.
If a hard drive containing photos in the catalog gets its drive letter reassigned by Windows, then the left-hand folder pane of Display > Folder Location view shows the old drive letter, not the new one, as containing the photos.
]This sounds innocuous, but it led a user on the forums to select the wrong drive when dragging and dropping a folder, permanently deleting some files. This bug and the previous one with Reconnect have the same underlying cause the Organizer doesnt update drive letters in its catalog.
Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents when more than one keyword tag is selected in the Keyword Tags pane.
]Based on reports on the forums, there appear to be other situations where Folder Location view shows incorrect folder contents, but they havent been easy to reproduce.
The Restore Catalog command puts the wrong path into the restored catalog for folders whose name starts with the catalog name, and it will mark files in those folders as missing. For example if the catalog is named houses, and a folder containing photos in the catalog is named houses photos, files in the restored catalog will have the path houses\ photos\ instead of houses photos\.

Part III Color Management Major Problems The Organizer considers photos produced by cameras set to the color space Adobe RGB as untagged with a color profile, showing their colors incorrectly. The Original (left) image in the Save For Web window is displayed without using the photos profile, making it hard to compare the preview with the original. Metadata Major Problems [N] When setting the Organizers date/time for imported photos containing EXIF:DateTimeOriginal but not XMP:DateTimeOriginal, PSE 7 doesnt properly handle US Daylight Savings Time in years prior to 2007. [N] Edit > Adjust Date and Time doesnt properly handle US Daylight Savings Time when setting date/times many decades ago, e.g. October 5, 1961 12:00 PM. [N] In Thumbnail View, the Organizer incorrectly orders files that have unknown time. For example, it will show a file dated 12/25/1976 8:00 PM PST after a file dated 12/26/1976 (unknown time) on a computer in time zone PST. [N] If you set a file's date/time fields to all unknown with Edit > Adjust Date And Time, the value of EXIF:DateTimeOriginal isn't cleared by File > Write Keyword Tag. [N] The File > Write Keyword Tag command doesnt create or update .XMP sidecars for Nikon D300 or D80 .NEF raw files (but it does for Canon CR2 raw files). New dates set by Edit > Adjust Date and Time sometimes get silently lost. ]If you set the date/time for a BMP, PDF, or Quicktime movie, or a file thats marked readonly, invoking the full Editor or Edit > Update Thumbnail will discard the adjusted date/time. Edit > Adjust Date and Time sometimes sets the wrong date/time for the EXIF:CreateDate and DateTimeOriginal, causing other tools to show the wrong date/time. File > Write Keyword Tags and Properties fails to write the map location (GPS coordinates) of TIFFs (tested with TIFFs produced by the PSE Editor and the Nikon Coolscan V, Nikon Coolscan 5000, and Epson 4490 scanners). File > Write Keyword Tags doesnt write the map location (GPS coordinates) into the .xmp sidecar files of Nikon D80 or Canon G9 raw photos. Minor Problems [N] The Properties Metadata window shows the wrong value for Date Time Original when the day is unknown. Edit > Adjust Date and Time applied to a file with time unknown decrements the date by one day. When you save an edited photo as a new file but not in a version set, the edited version picks up the date/time and caption of the original but not the keyword tags, star rating, or notes. With the Import EXIF Caption option turned off, captions pre-existing in a files EXIF:ImageDescription metadata field reappear in the Organizer after invoking the Full Editor. Searching Major Problems The timeline doesnt correctly display date ranges spanning many years. Using the Keyword Tags pane, you can no longer exclude a parent category from a search, e.g. exclude all photos tagged with any tag in the People category. ]The User Guide gives two examples of how to use category exclusion that just dont work in PSE 6 or 7. Interestingly, you can almost work around this by doing a text search of not <category tag>, e.g. not People. But this will also exclude photos that happen to have the word people in their filenames, captions, or notes, probably not what you want. Find > By History > Imported On sorts the photo dates alphabetically, rather than by date/time, and it takes a couple of minutes on a large catalog, making the command almost useless; and it shows a scary message Deleting Keyword Tags. Searching for 0 stars only doesnt work for photos in a catalog converted from PSE 5. Searching with date ranges doesnt properly handle time unknown. Minor Problems [N] The Show All button sometimes doesnt appear if you quickly type a query into the Search text box and hit Enter. Setting a date range and then excluding two tags from the search clears the date range. Show All doesnt clear a date range set by Find > Set Date Range (can be very confusing). Save Search Criteria As Smart Album isnt available if a date range has been set but no other search criteria have been. When searching, you can exclude a keyword tag and then include an album, but you cant do it in the other order.

Photos disappear in library after giving some 1 star rating, LR 2.1

I imported 3 folders of Nikon NEF images with corresponding xmp files, which were previously created in Bridge CS3. NEF files are from last year, from Nikon D200. All 9786 seemed to appear in Library. I then went to Loupe view, and rated some 300 or so out of 350+ selected images with one star.
I then set Library to filter only 1 star images, then went to web module to make a web gallery. After a few minutes of changing data fields, I realized LR seemed to be creating way too many pages. I went back to Library, only now when I filter for 1 star, it shows only one of the images I selected, and 387 other ones I did not rate.
I then removed filter, and see most of the images, but not all 9786- it says 9475 of 9786 photos (in all photos catalog). I checked in the original folders- the files are all there, numbered correctly, and the library shows the correct number of files, but it just won't show the "missing"files.
I go to last import catalog- again it says 9786 files, but Library says 9475 of 9786.
I am at a loss- do I need to remove all 9786 from catalog, re-import all of them, and go back & re-rate thos 300 or so images all over again! And if I do it, what's to say I won't have the same problem.

Okay, here's a weird twist. I was playing around with LR, and checked the folder (under Folders) that the images are in- again, it only showed 3026 out of 3337, so there were the same 311 missing as before
But then, just for the hell of it, I made a smart collection of 1 star images, and low & behold, 464 images showed up, including the missing ones. I then chose only the ones from the session I wanted, and made a quick collection- quick before they disappear I guess.
So now I have all 312 missing images in one place (only)- well, 311 were missing, but one of the one star images was not missing.
Ah... I think I have it- the non-missing image had an icon on it that read 312- I clicked on it & all of a sudden, 3ll the missing images showed up. Somehow I must of stacked them together, and that is why they disappeared. Still, when I did search by name you would think I could find any of them, but I guess that is a LR 2 bug of some sort.
So, I guess that is that. Now, to research my next 10 LR 2 questions.....
Thanks again,
