P: Allow Catalog to be stored on a networked drive.

nah mate, just on a fileserver not multi-user

A catalog on a fileserver that's being read/written by multiple people at once? Disaster.

agreed

Lets forget multi user.

Lets just be able to store the catalog on a fileserver.

Local hard drive storage is so 1990's.....

You don't need Adobe to directly comment on this. Look at the last few major updates and notice that most of the upgrades have been very consumer focused: face detection, book, slideshow, maps, iPad.... There was a half-hearted attempt at performance with GPU that, from my angle, turned out for worse. So, multi-user enviro is very pro and isn't in line with what Adobe has been pushing out.

If you read the blogs much this has been a common user request for more than 10 years. While it would take some work to rearchitect the database structure to accommodate this it's nowhere near rocket science in this mellenium. Adobe, are you listening to your customers?

Does anyone know if this feature is even being considered by Adobe?

I manage a post production studio and we require network sharing to access catalogs, currently we are using Aperture and we want to jump ship.

Anyone know why catalogues have to live on local storage? Network storage helps when sharing catalogues in a LAN-based team environment.

Google Translation: Lightroom catalogs in the network.

Hello there,
it would be nice if it were possible in Lightroom to download a catalog from a network drive, for example, from a NAS.

Hallo,
es wäre schön wenn es in Lightroom möglich wäre einen Katalog von einem Netzlaufwerk zu laden, beispielsweise von einem NAS.
