P: (Android) - Add Back File Information Overlay in Thumbnails

Hello,

 

in the Thumbnail the Overlay for the File Informations are missing. In older Versions are displayed File-Names - Exifdata, Ratings, Flags ...

 

 

I Apple iOS App for iPhone and iPad it's available. Why do you delete this Feature?

 

This feature are for see the File Information in a list of may files and I can select the needed Files. For Example for Add to a Album or to export all files with 5 Ratings or Flags.

 

Currently I only use the Filter.

We need ratings on thumbnail view, like in the iOS version.

Please bring back the file infos like rating etc. back to the Lightroom Android App. It can't be that difficult can it? It's such a crucial feature and it shouldn't take Adobe more than 4 years to bring back a feature, which was already implemented before.

How this is from 2018 and there is still no solution for this? Adobe is such a big company with so many resources. How difficult is it to bring back a crucial feature which was already built in?

Hi Christian,

I have just checked both my iPad and iPhone and it seems to work for me. A two finger tap on the grid cycles through the following states:

File Types > Flags & Ratings > Photo Info > Exif Info > Comments & Likes >  Hiding Info

it works on both my devices equally well. I’ll post some screen shots in a moment to illustrate.

Dear Christian,

The information overlay in thumbnail view cycles through a few settings when you tap with two fingers.

Try a two-finger tap (or maybe several taps) and see if you get back to what you wanted to see.

Mike
