Hi all!
After some major issues with my catalog for the first time in over a decade, which took weeks to resolve (even Adobe couldn't figure it out - but eventually I found a single corrupt photo using GoodSync - which was awesome!). By that time I had used a backup catalog, then created a new catalog and imported all the photos from the backup as Adobe requested (using 'import from another catalog' so that all the collections, keywords etc came through). This still kept crashing until I found the one image that was the issue, but I am now back to having a working catalog with very little editing lost
The one thing frustrating me with my new catalog is that when I start typing in keywords (whether in the keyword box or in the face recognition square) that it only suggests from a small selection of my existing keywords. These aren't the most recent ones, aren't ones I've used since creating the new catalog and importing, so it seems very random to me which ones it suggests.
If I create a new keyword it will then suggest this on future pics. If I use an existing keyword on a new photo, it won't then suggest it for future pics.
In catalog settings the 'offer suggestions' box is checked. I have tried unchecking and restarting and checking and restarting.
In preferences, interface the 'auto-complete text' box is checked.
Is there any way to tell Lightroom to recognise my existing keywords and use them as suggestions? I have a lot, so deleting and re-writing isn't an option.
Any thoughts appreciated! Thanks
