Ever since I upgraded to LR4 I have noticed a problem with metadata. I have created a Smart Collection with the rule "Metadata status is Has Been Changed" to show me all of the images that I have updated metadata but not written the changes to disk. I am seeing the number of images in this collection gradually increase ... but not because I am working on images!
If I go to the collection, do a "Select All" and then do a "Save Metadata to Files", sure enough the disk goes crazy and the images are removed from the collection. BUT ... if I just sit back and watch ... after a few seconds of inactivity the smart collection gradually fills up again ... with the same Images I just saved!!!
Like I mentioned, it seems like this list is getting gradually longer and longer. A few months ago I had about 20 images that were behaving like this, but now I have over 250!
Anyone seeing the same thing? Or have any suggestions as to the cause?
I'm running LR4.1 on an iMac running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.4).
