I have a pictures of an old family house. Using Photoshop I made four artistic versions of each, using a sketch filter. The original image was then named A91 - 164, and the sketches A91 - 164 - Sketch 1 etc. The keyword "Sketch" was also added to the sketches but not the original.
I then repeated the same process with a second similar photo.
Back in Lightroom, I then stacked the first set with the original on top. The second set was stacked with a Sketched version on top (I suspect this was because I was not paying close enough attention).
Subsequently trying to find them with the Library filter, I discovered that if the photos are unstacked, then the library filter Text>Keyword, or Text> Filename finds all 8 sketches. However if I close the stacks, then the same search does not bring back any of version 1, where the top image in the stack does not have "Sketch" as a keyword, or in the filename. The seond version does get returned albeit with the stack remaining stacked which confused me the first time I ran it.
Surely the filter should not ignore any images with the correct entry simply because they happen to be "Hidden" in a stack. Or would other users expect this to be by design?
I've never noticed this behaviour before, but for me it renders the Filter system useless unless I remember to unstack all first - which defeats the whole point of having stacks.
