This seems to have worked before, but this time I noted that my "flags" and colour labels did not come. All the other data, keywords, crops, and adjustments did, but not the flags or colour labels. Any thoughts as to why not. I am importing from the stored images on the HD of the laptop directly into my desktop main file.
