P: Filter for Likes and Comments

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.

Thank you @Sean McCormack for your help. That's what I'm doing 🙂
But honestly why Adobe is providing that function ("like" and "comment") and such a poor integration... In LRC you can't even distinguish "likes" and "comments", it's the same icon (better on LR). It would be so simple and logical to have that litte heart on the filter line to show only liked images.

For shure it's not "useless" but, man, why did they do it half the way...!?

@--MP-- I'm using this feature for client selections. What I do is click on the collection, Review Comments, wait for the badges to load and then immediately apply a red color label to the liked and commented photos. Do I want this feature to be better. Yes. Do I want access to Last Comment time search without needing to click Review Comments? Yes. Is it useless? No, but it's frustrating.

Comment and like support is really wierd actually... Almost useless (or very ineffective) in real life with custommers.
Beyond everyone's justified comments, in the client perspective, when viewing galery online, there is no way to have an overview of liked images... Is it possible to have that little heart on liked images in galery view?

And is it possible to consider that reported malfunction...??? 9 years, is it serious ?

I think it would help my work flow if my customers/clients had a notification icon to get notified when I leave a comment. It is kinda difficult explaing which pic I am refering to!

Wow almost 10 years and still no fix??? Why go through all the trouble of offering a heart button and not follow through with the rest of it? Pixieset lets me move all likes from someone into a new folder. You would think Adobe had the wherewithal to do the same....

Yes, there's an ongoing feature request asking for improved client-focused filtering/sorting tools in Lightroom. While waiting for that to be introduced (if ever), you could have a look at the Collaborative Proofing tool which is currently available only as a Technology Preview in the Lightroom Web interface.

What that allows you to do is to share an album by invitation as you do now, but with Collaborative Proofing enabled.....that allows you to set a limit (if you wish) on the number of "selections" that your client can choose, and once the selections have been made you are able to filter (by client) and see only the selections that have been made. There's also an option to create a specific album and have the client's selections added to that album.

It's not ideal, but it's a lot better than the nothing that we currently have!

You enable Collaborative Proofing by clicking on your Avatar top right in the Lr Web interface, select Technology Previews, enable Collaborative Proofing. Once that's done, the Proofing tab will appear at the bottom left of the album display, next to the Grid and Display icons.

After a shoot I share an Collection with a client. The client can then click on "like" (heart icon).
Afterwards I need to go and check in the Collection which shots the client has liked.

It would be a good idea if there was a possibility to sort on the "liked" shots; or only display liked pictures.

When filtering photos in an album, it would be great if there was the option to filter by activity (likes or comments).

More information:

When asking my clients to review and select their favourite shots from a shared album link, they use the LIKE or COMMENT feature directly from the album.

This is a great feature to allow iterations on specific shots. Unfortunately, Lightroom does not allow me to FILTER the photos from the album with such activity. Making the whole in-app process of finding photos with comments (or likes) VERY painful.

I hardly find the fotos liked out of 100. I need to sort which are liked and commented.

Actually I want the rating for shared content back, but this sorting funtion would be something first step.

please see case ADB-21836939-S0Y9

When I share Lightroom albums with family and clients they are able to hit heart/like. I wish there were a way to filter for these images. Adobe Lightroom does not filter for comments or heart/like so it takes me a long time to figure out which images need further attention. Thanks!
