p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · LR 5 Library - different filter on different folders


I just upgraded to LR 5 and updated LR as well.

However, some of my settings got lost/scrambled.

I used to have things set up so that I could, for example, show only 5 star photos on one folder and 4 stars or higher on another folder.
Each folder kept those separate Library settings when changing folders on the Navigation.

Now, when I change folders, any filter I apply to that folder stays when I pick another folder.
It's driving me crazy trying to get things sorted out.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Check that 'Enable Filters' is checked on ...

On Mac it can be found from the Menu: Library>Enable Filters or the keyboard shortcut is CMD+L.

Don't know the Windows equivalent, perhaps someone can chime in about that.

Sorry, I may have been mistaken on what you are looking for ... to retain the filter setting for a specific folder, when in the Library module, make sure the little padlock in the top Library filter bar at the upper right-hand corner is set to 'Lock' ... if you mouse over the symbol the tool tip will state ... "If locked, the filter will not change when changing sources."

ok, the padlock is locked and filters are enabled.

In 1 folder, I'd like it to show me photos 4 stars or higher.
In another folder, I'd like it to show me only 5 star photos.

LR isn't remembering the differences when I switch folders.
If I have it show me only 5 star photos in one folder, the same filter setting is applied when I change to a different folder...
