P: Add "Is Empty" and "Isn't Empty" to all attribute filters and Smart Collection filters

Lightroom desperately needs additional filtering (and smart filtering) capabilities. Specifically I want to be able to find all images for which I haven't entered anything in certain metadata fields. It is important to ensure that every image has certain metadata fields completed before releasing those images into the wild, but it's not always easy to find those empty fields....

Only some fields in the Attribute filter or in Smart Collections currently have an available option to filter by "Is Empty" or "Isn't Empty". For example, I can search for Is or Isn't Empty in the "Caption" field, but not in the "Title" field.

BY the way I am SO thrilled with the multiple path selection in the path palette. And dynamic corner radius of rounded rectangles! Love the hidden sliders in % dialog boxes too.
Loving the new photoshop CC!!
I've been using photoshop since v 2.

For each person in a photo we usually have paths for flesh, shirts, pants, shoes, jewelry..etc etc..
when there are 3-4 people in a photo we get very many paths.
When we merge different images together we would like to grab the paths from each model to the new image. The paths take up much less space than an actual channel mask, so we use paths for making color correction masks and apply a small feather to the selection. SO we end up with a LONG list of paths. Would be nice to group them by model.

If i select multiple paths and do a command G, I wish they would group into a folder.
It would make it easy to move groups of paths between documents or organize them for each model in a photo. We use a LOT of paths for color correction masks and outlines, and it would be very handy to have groups for each person in the picture instead of viewing a long list of paths.

There is nothing called a path layer in Photoshop.

Are you talking about shape layers (which can already be grouped), or possibly just paths not associated with any layers?

In LR5 beta they added "additional search criteria" to smart collections, which included some is empty, but not for title as memory serves.
