Just checking if anyone else is seeing the same issue. Yesterday I rated last months photos (a lot, due to travel) and today the stars were all gone. I think I’ve seen this before but put it down to misremembering or PEBCAK.

I exported all my starred photos yesterday so could quite easily identify them using the show saved images filter so not much work was lost.

Posting here instead of reporting a bug to try to figure out if anyone else has seen the issue. It was newly imported images and the edits are intact. The stars are mostly saved so the issue only occurs under certain circumstances.

  1. Newly imported files starred before edits
  2. May have suspended computer mid work
  3. May have powered off (software) with RT open
  4. Starred using mouse click in file browser view

can’t think of any other things I’ve done and I fail to reproduce bug when faking new photos etc.
