P: Filter for Likes and Comments

Thanks John for taking constructive action!

I released a new plugin, Any Comment, which helps you work more efficiently with comments and likes downloaded from Lightroom Mobile and publish services like Flickr:

- Search and filter photos by the comment and like text, author, date, and number.
- Sort photos by the date and number of their comments and likes.
- See all the comments and likes from different publish services consolidated in one place.
- Permanently store comments and likes in photo's metadata, making it available to external applications and other catalogs.

I agree with all the above comments.
The need and benefit for such collaboration feature should (hopefully) be plainly obvious to anyone at Adobe who has even a hint of practical experience working with clients.

The rough basics are implemented, but the practical usability has stopped not even half way in the development it seems.

Thats it in a nutshell. Address the pros please!! Adobe developers inadvertently made a start on a client selection tool because they wanted to create a "mobile" app. We pros like this issue being addressed as the client image selection process for tens of thousands of pro shooters is onerous and painful for us AND our clients. Some help for it would be SOOOO appreciated!

I ask my clients to go add a comment to it to let me know which image they are talking about versus just getting them to give me a filename. Then I have to look through the session for the comment. Not exactly efficient.

Well said everyone.  Adobe, Can you hear us?   The weakness of this feature is laughable.  You create a good idea, then make it worthless for any real use.

Stop with the silly 'user friendly' features like the recent import debacle. And focus on the tools professionals need. They are your market, not the iphone crowd.

Focus on getting a better interface for keywords. It needs a lot of work in that area too.

Also, unless I missed it, when sharing a collection to Lr mobile, none of the images display any metadata, as in the name of the file.  This might be my error but seeing as the like feature doesn't work, how is my client suppose to pick from hundreds of images, they can't even write down a file name?

agree 200% with all the above comments.  I've just spent almost 2 hours navigating adobe support, most of which was watching a person poke around on my machine guessing at how to fix this.  
yes, this should be a basic feature in any photog software that offers any cloud/sync service.  what's the point of a like button if it can't be used for anything?  

how about taking that like/comment info and "convert" it to metadata so that it can be filtered just like flags, stars, keywords, etc?

yes please add the like/comment info so that it can be filtered in the collections.  clients review the web gallery, like the pics they want, I filter back in Lr, and get on with retouching.  

also to agree with a comment above, it would be great if clients could like/comment without and adobe ID... not the end of the world, but making this seamless on the client side makes me and you Adobe look good.  

While it's cool that we have such great technology, if you are going to offer a "feature" then make sure it's actually functional and has a purpose.  as of now the like button is at best a lame Facebook-esque button.  

Whether I like it or not Adobe you've forced us all into this cloud based subscription model.  So, if we have no choice then please bring your A game.  This should be a basic fundamental feature in ANY photography software, especially from you Adobe.  

Please please Adobe - make the online galleries a better client selection tool. After a shoot, its hard for a client to just randomly go through and heart images and be somewhat thoughtful and discriminating. I wind up getting a ton of image selections from clients. I've started using the Canon app on a tablet on site (via camera wifi) as well and clients can rate their images on that app which is transmitted to the desktop when I transfer them. It would be great for clients to be able to see their ratings and change them in the online gallery. Normally if I have a desktop or laptop and the time with a client, we sit down and go through the process. I advise my clients to one star the images, then show only the one ratings and let them selectively increase the ratings to 2 stars and so on until they have the target number of total images to be selected. We need to be able to watermark the images and it would be great to be able to limit the total number of selections the client can make.
We also need to be able to right click on a collection and show images only with comments, new comments and likes.
