I would like to be able to name custom crops in Lightroom. Saving them as ratios is great but one step further would be the ability to give them a relative name for certain projects or uses.Perhaps also not limit me to 5 custom ratios.

they are most likely waiting for the 10th (... or 15th)  anniversary to introduce it as a great new feature)

Nine years - I'm going to be dead before this gets implemented. I'm in Coronavirus lockdown atm and have a bit of time on my hands. I have an old Laptop and am about to start installing Linux to give Darktable a try. There is a Win 10 version - but it's broken and there is very limited support. I believe the Linux version is well supported. No idea if they have Custom Crops... we shall see. Stay safe everyone.

I appreciate that this has appeared as an idea before, most recently aboutr 2 years ago but it is such an obvious improvement I make no apologies for renewing it...I would like to be able to name custom crops in Lightroom Dev module. That's it. Easy. Thank you.

The Any Crop plugin lets you create named crops. It also lets you prepare multiple crops for a set of photos all at once, in batch, which you can then individually adjust if needed.

You can prepare print presets with these formats and print them in .jpg files, why absolutely want to create cropping presets while the printing module can very well do it and at the same time, you will be able to record its "impressions" as collections, it's more practical, it will allow you to find them easily in the catalog LR Classic!

I posted in the thread on the official support thread (a seemingly logical course of action to me as a customer) and was advised to come here to vote.  Sending me to a third-party platform to sign up and post just doesn't seem like an adequate response.

In a more constructive tone, my recommendation would be for a simple Folder > Item : Values system that could be easily integrated with a JSON structure.

I've since achieved this with Sketch, though it would have be better to not have to manage my workflow across two programs.
