P: Respect Hierarchical Folders of Presets

Hello John

I do not agree with your point of view. Those of us that uses many presets, journalizes them into logical folder structures, and therefore need to be able to subdivide these into sub-folders. I'm not looking around in one folder after another. If the option for subfolders were implemented, I can find the right preset category with a few clicks. And from here my photo workflow is easy.

In the photo club I belong to, we have several times talked about this problem that Adobe will be able to solve with very little effort, so why not fix this small technical issue?

Your suggestion to be able to filter presets are welcome, but I don't believe naming itself is the logical journalizing method. Here you ends up with a complex names syntax!

Best regards

Lars

The thing is, Kelvin, maybe it's not that great an idea? Let's say you do have large numbers of presets in multiple level of folders, and let's say Adobe did implement the suggestion as described. So you'd still spend an age looking down one hole - sorry, subfolder - after another until you find the B&W preset you want, or that cross process one or whatever.  There are some B&W presets here, some there etc.  Respecting folder hierarchies just doesn't really gain you much of any value.

What would help is to copy the filter box at the top of Collections and the Keyword List. You could then filter the preset list by entering something like "B&W BW Mono".

I now see that many other users have long been asking for this to happen, and nothing has, would it not only be just courteous of Adobe to make some sort of statement here as to why this has not happened or if there is a chance it may or may not, then at least to say so. I look forward to comment

I see now that I have asked this question just how many other Adobe customers have been asking the same thing for at least a year, if not longer, so much for listening to your customers adobe, I can take on board that some things take time, and there are many other things also needing attention, but when you have people from the Professional user to someone like me who just uses your product to help with his happy snaps, all asking for the same thing, dont you think you should get your finger out and do something to help...........rant over

Hi I was wondering is it possible in Lightroom to have an update so as to be able to make a folder inside a folder similar to what is already in the collections Module

There should be at least one level more.
Now the folder list is to long and need to much vertical scrolling.

It is absolutely baffling.

I can't believe that Adobe still hasn't done this.

Just in case there is nobody at adobe who knows how to do this, the following google search will give you pointers and sample code

Or look at your own code that displays the collections, it is the same concept.
