Now that Adobe is committing to LR Mobile, it would be great if LR had better support for comments and likes:

- Ability to filter and search in smart collections for comments and likes. The Sort: Last Comment Time is helpful but not sufficient -- it only works with collections synced with LR Cloud, and you can only sort one collection at time (huh??).

- The same support for other publish services like Flickr that also sync user comments. Why did Adobe implement Last Comment Time and comment notifications just for LR Mobile? The underlying structure is already there to implement it for the other services as well. These other services have a diversity of features that many users find valuable and that are unlikely to ever appear in LR Mobile, so asking them to switch to LR Mobile just to get the trivial ability to sort by comment time is frustrating.

- SDK access to the comments and likes, so that plugins can manipulate that metadata just like they have the ability to manipulate other metadata. Just providing SDK access would let plugin developers provide the other functionality.

@johnn50423288: "For Shared Collections, We need to be able to filter likes on Lightroom Classic"

You used to be able to select a synced collection and do Sort: Last Comment Time, which would put the photos with recent likes and comments first. And collections and photos with likes and comments would be marked with yellow badges temporarily.

Unfortunately, LR 13.3's new sync engine broke that:

Yes filtering on the web end is so important, I often get request to remove the photos they don't like so the can work better on the liked ones.

Something I don't like be cause I have to duplicate the album for them to keep the "all photos" folder for myself.

Have a look at the Collaborative Proofing option in the browser-based Lightroom Web app.....it's a Technology Preview that has to be enabled, but once you've done that it allows you choose an album, then select the Proofing tab at bottom left, then click on the sharing icon, which then allows you to copy the URL for sharing with your clients and at the same time limit their selections to xx photos. At the client end the display allows them to select images up to the maximum that you've set (and yes, there's a running count for the user). When you then open the album back in your LrWeb app you can filter by client and then have an album of just that specific user's selects created automatically.

You might find it useful.

The Lightroom Desktop app (not Lightroom Classic) now has a filter for Likes and/or Comments (on the Filter Bar), but only on a per album basis.

It is 2024 now and still no way to do this? - I'm on the desktop.

Check out the Any Comment plugin, which lets you filter by comments and likes from LR Cloud and other publishing services. It's not as convenient as having the feature built-in, but it gets the job done.
