PL8 has lost sight of the 'Pick"' & 'Reject' Flag

PL8.3.2 does not handle the ‘Pick’ and ‘Reject’ Flag as it did in PL7.11.1!?

UPDATE:- Because I am a forgetful “old” man!!

This is PL7.11.1

The settings for all images are visible at all times.

But this is PL8.3.1

with none of the settings visible until the user “hovers” over an image

I personally preferred the original @DxO_Support-Team.

The feature can be replaced by ‘Rating’ and ‘Labels’ and may have been so replaced by many users and it is still possible to Filter as required

but I consider seeing ‘Picked’ and ‘Rejected’ images in context, quickly and easily is useful whereas the new scheme serves no useful purpose to the user, as far as far as I can see.

It wasn’t broken so why fix it or is it actually broken now, as I am suggesting?

In fact, I have just gone back to PL8.0.0 on another machine and it works exactly the same as PL7.11.1 so the new “feature” has been introduced between that release and now (or my two machines are causing a difference??)

I will submit a Support Request along those lines.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Display and make sure that everything you want to see is “Always On.”

Hi,
When upgrading to PL 8 I had the same “issue” … you have to re-activate it:
Go to Edit / Preferences / Tab “Display” and switch “Set tag” to “Always ON”

@MarkusMZ There is a reason that I didn’t look at those settings, I have not changed them in years. in truth I forgot they even existed!?

The 5900X, where I did the tests on PL8.3.1 has been through PL8.0.0 and all releases to PL8.3.1 and PL8 was installed over a PL7 release (which behaves as I expected) but that machine was used for PL8 Beta Testing before the official PL8.0.0 was released.

I don’t use that flag as a matter or routine but did for a specific reason today and “found” the “anomalous” behaviour.

The other machine was in a similar state and both PL7 and PL8 have the “expected” (by me) settings but that went straight from PL7 to PL8 without any Beta Test release.

So how that setting was at variance to the other releases I do not know but thank you both @Egregius and @MarkusMZ for reminding me about its very existence!
