Title: Lightroom 7.4
Post by: davidgp on June 19, 2018, 03:49:24 am: Hi,

Adobe Creative Cloud just showed an update to Lightroom, I thought I just missed to install 7.3.1 but to my surprise, it is Lightroom 7.4 version, I can not find what it is new... but I suppose blogpost about it will start appearing shortly...

Regards,

David

This I think it is the most useful to me... I have my folders classified by days... basically each day it landscape photographs of a place... I have a workflow, selection, basic editing, metadata, final edition, in some time second pass... I can put a label to each one of those phases by color... a quick view will tell me if I finished with those pictures or what it is missing...

Post by: Simon J.A. Simpson on June 19, 2018, 03:26:41 pm: It would be really nice if Adobe had fixed the disappearing side-panels issue which for me, in 7.3.1, has been becoming increasingly prevalent making it almost impossible to work for any length of time without restarting Lightroom.

I don't see a fix listed in the bug fixes in this release.

That doesn't seem to be a bug. I just checked and a requester popped up that says that "deleting a preset is not undoable". You might have clicked the 'do not show again' checkbox at some point.
