Description Petr Schonmann 2026-01-03 21:36:20 UTC

If i use hotkey to assign rating, its set. For example 3 stars. But i changed my mind and want 4stars. In thumbnail (1) is rating changed, but not in preview bar (2)

When im in fullscreen its little bit confusing, but when i go to next picture and back everything is fine. Rating is not changing only visually in that new bar (2) when pressing "rating stars hotkeys"

When i click directly on star its working fine

The rating is updated in the Captions/Descriptions tab from the right sidebar with the same usage ?

Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2026-01-04 07:46:09 UTC

In the preview, the label widgets are only set when the image has loaded. This works reasonably well; if metadata is written, the image is reloaded via the change events. If writing metadata is disabled, the label widgets in the toolbar no longer update at all.

This must be the same for Slideshow which has also Rating and Labels edit features ?
