Does this happen for anyone else?

I have photos that I've done preliminary flags on. I created a collection and moved all of the images to the collection to continue working on them. In the collection, none of the images are flagged.

WTF? This definitely did not use to happen in 2.x. Anyone else? Am I missing a setting somewhere?

edit: It also didn't copy over my CROPPING? huh? Collections = useless if this is the case.

Yep, pops the flags off for me; the cropping remains though. I never use collections, I just tested it.

Hm thanks. I wonder if this is intentional or a bug. I can't imagine what reasoning they'd have for it being intentional.

I swear I lost cropping, a gradient, and a clone I'd done, too.

Well if you're flagging in the folders for a different purpose and want to have separate flagging in a collection, that's a way to do it. But I agree, it's annoying.

Did you think about filtering to see the flagged photos, moving them to collection and reflagging them, and then moving over the rest?

Yup, good idea. I did that and then I noticed I had lost the cropping and gradients I had done! It was only a few so I re-did them in the collection.

You shouldn't lose any editing (ie cropping, adjustments, gradients, etc.) but the default behavior is to remove any flags when you add something to a collection.

Any color labels or star ratings are retained when moved to the collection though.

Bump!

Thanks for the at info.
I only use flagged, so I'm a bit annoyed about this. I guess Adobe feels the "flagging" system is for weeding out the photos early on.
