P: New Smart Album filter - by import date

It'd be great to be able to create a smart album that you can set to imports within the last XX hours/days so that you have quick access to the files that you've imported recently, as the Previous Imports selector under the catalog section gets replaced as soon as you do another import. So, when you have multiple cards to import and they may span multiple dates, it can be difficult to go back and find all the photos again to properly keyword them. This isn't too necessary for people who shoot a session and then import, but for those of us that have a walk around camera where we only shoot a couple photos a day and import sporadically, it'd be great, as I have photos spread out over the last month or so and need to go back and find them.

I created a set of Smart Collections in LR, using all the shortcut keys (from 1 to 9, in addition to p and x), and I need to include a fundamental item: IMPORT DATE or similar. The objective is for the imports to be renewed with each new upload (import) of photos. Who should I contact?

[Português] Criei um conjunto de Coleções Inteligentes no LR, utilizando todas as teclas de atalho (de 1 a 9, além do p e x), e necessito da inclusão de um item fundamental: DATA DA IMPORTAÇÃO ou similar. O objetivo é que as importações sejam renovadas a cada novo carregamento (importação) de fotos. A quem me dirijo? Obrigado

That would be useful -- others have asked for that, as well as the ability to search History steps in general.

 

While waiting for Adobe to implement this, consider the Any Filter plugin:

The "date added" is stored in the catalog, since you can sort grid view by Added Order. If LR simply allowed plugins to retrieve the date, e.g. photo:getRawMetadata ("dateTimeImported"), then the Any Filter plugin could searcy by date added.
