There were no rejected photos to delete

[Steve Crane]

I have a problem that happens most of the time, but not every single time.

When I'm viewing a folder with photos flagged as rejected and press Ctrl-Backspace to delete them, a message box appears with the message "There were no rejected photos to delete". This displays immediately, after which I see the folder get filtered to show only the rejected photos; this happening behind the message box. If I OK the message box the filter is cleared and all images are shown again. Pressing Ctrl-Backspace a second time always results in the delete action happening as expected.

Anyone seen this or have any idea why it happens?

I've seen this before, but I attributed it to being in collections, or a quick-collection, or something other than folders.

This may be a Windows thing, maybe a Windows user could verify this please.....

I have had this problem also and found only one guranteed way to make the Delte of Rejected photos work.

1. Mark any required photos as rejected as normal.
2. Select ALL PHOTOGRAPHS from the Library view.
3. Now press CTrl+Backspace and the Delete button will now also be shown.

Hope this helps others as taken a while to uncover this wierd rule to make the Delete button appear for Rejected photos.

I see this some what frequently on my Mac. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never put much effort into figuring out what causes it. It's one of those annoyances I've lived with but probably shouldn't ;-)

Anyone have any ideas?
