I just noticed that one of my folder (only one of many) has lost all my star rating data. Not sure if during exporting process of my 3 star images, that a bug reset them all to zero.
Has anyone experienced this before and is there a solution other than to go through all 500 of so photos and resetting the star ratings again?
If you backed up your catalog prior to this happening, you might be able to revert to the backup. You would lose any imports since the last backup however. To test this, I would back it up the way it is now (so you can get back to the point you are at now if you need to) and then load from the most recent backup. I back my catalog up every time I quit Lightroom and then cull out all the backups since the beginning of the month. I end each year with a backup from the last day of each month available to me. I'm a computer guy and have seen too many strange things happen over the years. My LR backups and images are also backed up to Carbonite in case the unthinkable happens. I currently have 1.5TB out there for $60 a year, unlimited. Good luck.

Thank you. I have a back up but a lot has happened since then, so if I use this back up I don't get to keep what I have worked on since back up. Hope that makes sense....i can only end up using one back up
