Portfolios + collections

[Le_Lion_07]

Hello from France...

1. When I rename a collection or
2. when I move a collection (up or down) in a portfolio,

the photos in this collection are out of sync.

Is it a usual behaviour ? If it is, why ? There is nothing to synchronise because portfolios/collections are part of the catalog, not of metadata.

Could it be that you have ICS writing switched ON? In that case the portfolio collection will also be written to the metadata...in the ICS schema

Hi Hert...

Not at all, the ICs schema option is switched off, both for reading and writing.

Same thing if I delete a collection, the photos in this collection are out-of-sync.

I too have been having a lot of cases where changing portfolios triggers a mass re-synch. I, however, do have ICS written to metadata so changing portfolios makes sense to me.

What does not make sense to me are when re-synchs are triggered:

1. on all photos already in a portfolio when I import new pictures into it.
2. On photos that are added/removed from the image basket.

So, might be a slightly different symptom, but I think it relates: mass re-synch's are being triggered at odd times. If I import new photos, thousands of existing photos that have not changed claim to be out of synch.

On my computer, add or remove one or several pics to/from a collection have no effect on sync (the pics stay in sync). But any other action with a collection : move it up or down in the structure, rename it, even delete it and the pics are out of sync. This has no sense because, as I wrote, the ICS schema option is switched off, both for reading and writing.
