In Lightroom, please "remember" the currently select images in each folder as I move back and forth. This would be such a time saver!

Unexpectedly i found out that with Lightroom 5.6 it is possible to define a title image for a collection (seems not to be possible with lightroom 5.4).
Thanks Adobe for implementing this feature (even if I never read about it and just found it by chance)

This plugin fixes it "right" (works in the background - re-selects previous photos when you switch folders and/or collections..).

Good idea.

In the mean time,

Gazoo remembers the complement of photos selected in each source (whether folder or collection...), for use in conjunction with back/forward navigation.

When returning to a previously worked folder, it would be useful to return directly to where one left off (i.e. the last-worked image). rather than being forced to start at the first image. When processing a large shoot and briefly switching to another folder, it is annoying, when returning to the original folder, to have to scroll/page through all the images to get back to where one left off.

it would also be nice to be able define a representative "cover"-picture for each folder or collection.

It would be nice if lightroom could remember which image i was viewing last when I navigate back to a folder instead of starting with the first image in the folder. I frequently go back and forth between folders and collections and I would like to go back to the same image that I was viewing before I navigated away from the folder instead of starting from the beginning.

How do you imagine this to work regarding the active image selection?

Do you expect the image selection to change, each time you navigate to a different folder? That would create some difficulties, e.g., when you want to create a temporary set of selected images that comprises images from different folders.
