Troubleshooting X-LR and Ratings

Fuji cameras can record star ratings inconsistently or confusingly. If you only shoot RAW and only use one card slot, there should be no problem - Fuji records the rating in the RAF and X-LR should read it. However, Fuji seems to handle RAW + JPEG differently, especially if you are using more than one card. Using the second card as a backup can also cause inconsistencies. Some files get the rating, others don't.

If X-LR isn't reading the ratings correctly, remember how you were shooting, and look at the camera's Setup > Data Setting:

Overwrite

This is to control what happens when X-LR processes photos which currently have a star rating in the catalogue that is greater than 0:

So it means "Overwrite catalogue ratings for images with star ratings > 0".
