Hello,

I have a little feedback about the new 4.2 RC, is seems that LR does not keep the 1:1 preview as mentionned in the settings.

My settings actually tells LR to keep 1:1 preview 30 days, yesterday I work on new imported photo, All 1:1 have been created at this time. In library looking a photo at 100% is fast and direct.

Today, I wake up the PC, I restart LR, want to look again at my work and all photos need a preview rendering : bad quality at 100%, loading message, cpu at 100%, waiting for the full quality view...you know.

Am I missed something or doing something wrong ? Is this, is a bug ?

The previews are for reviewing images quickly in Library mode.

In Develop things are always re-rendered from the current settings because in Develop you're there to change the settings...unless LR has just shown you the image and knows the settings haven't been changed.

Sometimes I wish it worked differently, too, on my slower computer.

If the library previews were rendered, but got re-rendered without any change to develop settings, then you're being bit by a bug. Try deleting the previews, in case it's a data sensitive bug ( ... Previews.lrdata folder).

Note: If you *did* change develop settings, even if via Quick Develop, then the library previews *will* need to be re-rendered/"loaded" - that's normal.

Yes, there is absolutely no change to developer settings. I'll delete previews, test and keep you aware.

It seems I'm not able to reproduce the problem. However, my preview folder will be very heavy (more than 10 Go, 30 000 files) and win 7 64 failed to delete it completly in one pass. Is possible some file were corrupted ? Is it possible a lack of inode can cause this problem (did win not fail to run in this case or warn before it happens?) ?

Maybe your hard drive is starting to fail. - consider running a disk diagnostic like chkdsk.
