Virtual Copy Trouble

Im not sure if the problems with Virtual Copy have been reported with Win XP SP 2, but here goes.



1. The only times where Virtual Copy works as described is when using Library%26gt;All Photographs or Folders. When restricting the view with these two options, VC works just as documented.



2. Using Keyword Tags, either nested or not, or the Metadata Browser, only the original is shown when a visual copy is created.



3. Except in the case of (1) above, the VC is not shown when added to to the Quick Collection.



Since Visual Copies is such an important concept, this is a major bug. If not here, where should this situation be reported?

I don't think this is a bug.



From the documentation:

''Once created, virtual copies are automatically stacked with the master photo.''



The ''master photo'' is in the folder, not in a collection of any sort.

Well, I think it is a bug because:



1. It does not get stacked. It can be seen in some view filters, but not in others.



2. There is no way to deal with any stack functions with the Visual Copies.



3. Please try it, and tell me where I have missed the boat.

1.2. You can create a VC anywhere, but it will only stack while in the library or folders. If left unstacked you will see it any part of the Library, but not be able to stack/unstack unless you return to the Lib/folders. Stacking is not abled in any other part of the Library, although heavily requested.
