P: Add text notes to photos, stacks, folders, directories, collections

In Lightroom Classic there are already 2 fields for notes: 1) the User Comment field under EXIF. I use that for workflow information. 2) Under Workflow there is the Instructions field. I use that for other info I want to remember but don't want to put in the Caption.

Reasonable request. I'll look into it.

Also, I changed the download link after the site was down for a bit. https://buggeringabout.com/daisynotes/

A note field on the photo would be great so the reason, or the circumstance or the processing techniques can be recorded as part of the picture

Cool. And good to know. Thanks.

I tried it on Windows 10 (installed Typora first). I had to restart Lightroom before it worked. I could make annotations on folders and collections but smart collections too! This is my configuration:

For what it's worth, I finally got around to making a plugin that I've been using to add notes to collections & folders fit for public consumption. Not photos, just yet, it's on the todo list.

Essentially it allows you to create and view markdown notes to the current active source (selected collection or folder).

Briefe explanation at https://buggeringabout.com/daisynotes-for-lightroom/ along with a link to the download.

If someone can confirm it's all working I'd appreciate it and I hope it's of some use.

@Just Shot Me.  The issue here is, "How do I set up those filters?"  If I'm supposed to do keywords, that seems like an awkward approach, compared to a note like:

start culling process at file _XXX21318.NEF.

This sort of note is quick to write, and quite self-explanatory.

There already is. Use the Filter bar. It works for every Folder, Collection, Smart collection or Keyword you have selected.
If a folder is selected the Filter bar can be used for Filtering out, actually Showing, all images that meet your Filters. I say Filters because you can Select Multiple parts of the filter bar. Like Text and Metadata and even All of them. Although to select more than 2 you have to hold down the Ctrl key.

I would like to have a "metadata" field or fields associated with each Lightroom collection or smart collection folder.  if that approach could also be extended to the physical folders on a disk drive that store image files, that would be nice.
