P: Color collections and collection sets to simplify navigation & cataloging

I fully agree that the much, if not most, of the individual feedback in these forums doesn't appear to have much impact. But overall, this forum does influence Adobe's product development, at least to a modest degree. The more votes a topic gets, the more likely (at least a little) that it will influence Adobe. But like voting in government elections, it's hard to see how the vote of one person can have much impact. With this forum, however, it's not just the vote, but more importantly, the expressed reasons behind the vote that seem to have more influence.

(And as a side effect, developers like myself get ideas for plugins by reading the feedback here.)

I feel like this will never be implemented... It would be amazing if Adobe added little features like this that are actually helpful.

I was just trying to make a point. You say it yourself those topics are already addressed in other forums. And, did Adobe take care of it? Nope, they don't. And even after years of development third party plugins from hobby programmers address the needs of the crowd better than what Adobe with hundreds of fulltime employes is able to deliver.

Ronny, all good feedback. But in general, splitting it up into one idea per thread is more likely to have influence on Adobe -- they're more likely to read the individual ideas, and others are more likely to be able to add their thoughts and votes. Most of your feedback is covered by existing topics. (The search function in this forum is not great, so if you can't find the existing topics, a moderator can often merge your post into the right topic later.)

And as you can see Adobe doesn't give a damn about customers wishes. 4 years are gone and nothing has been done. It's ridiculous.
I use Lightroom only since a few month. But I stumbled across so many flaws that I wonder that professionals are still using it. Ok, I admit, the develop mode is good. You can get really good results from the even worst image. But the rest around is just not good enough for a software that's in development since 15 years or so. We are talking about version 6 here. So I would expect a certain degree of features. And since a lot of professionals out there are using it, Adobe should have enough feedback what they actually want and need, and implement it as soon as possible.

just a small list of the top of my head:
-the mentioned color coding of folders isn't possible
-smart collections/filters aren't smart enough (I paid for the "Any Filter" plugin; i.e.: find RAWs without development settings, not in a bracket stack, quick develop setting - lens correction might be set)
-lens correction isn't applied automatically
-if you paste develop settings too early, while the image is still loading, they aren't applied; if you do it for a bunch of selected images it's done for the others but not the one loading
-you can't export/import names/metadata etc. into text/CSV files; you have to pay for extra plugins
-panorama assembly is crap; you can't tweak anything; I'm using Hugin for that
-HDR assembly is crap/slow/extremely memory wasting; a bracket set with 7x20MP images (1 = ca. 100 MB Tiff) is cramming my 8 GB so it sometimes start to swap data to the hard drive; if I use anything but the simplest de-ghost option I end up with lots of highly visible colour noise; usually the result is pretty much the same as middle one from the set - useless, I look into Photomatix, uses about 2 GB
-image export into different file formats/sizes/qualities in one step isn't possible; you have to do it one after the other, sooooo time/CPU/energy wasting; my solution is export as Tiff and then run XnView batch converter (even Canon's freeware RAW convert can export JPG/Tiff in one step, without red-rendering the RAW)

I probably forgot some things, I'm gonna have to start a list for it.

I need this in my workflow today

Another vote! Would be EXTREMELY helpful in my wedding photography and couples shooting workflow. I have to leave lightroom to use the mac labels.
