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.

    There is a HUGE mistake with lightroom, mobile and Web!

     

    There is no way to:

    - Share in collaboration tab and my client want to see and like the photos, than i come back to lightroom and there is no way to filter the likes! What??? i should see 1 by 1 to see what my cleint sellected??? i have 2900 photos to check now!

     

    - the same stuff happen to RATE, there is no button to my client or people i share to rate!! there is a hiper sync between exposure, shadows bla bla bla, and why there is no way to rate the photo?

     

    PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN ❤️ 

     

    THIS IS A HUGE UPGRADE TO PEOPLE APROVE THERE PHOTOS WITH CLIENTS and this is not happening because a LITTLE BUT OR WRONG PROGRAM.

      Hope there will be a future enhancemnet to filter based on the photos liked in Lightroom CC / Mobile.

       

      This will help faster workflow because you'll know what clients like.

      This is incredible that such simple functionalities are not working. 

      My clients are also marking with a heart and a comment eventually and I can't filter according to that criteria. You have to go through the photos one by one. 

      BUT MAIN CONCERN IS THAT FILTERING FOR STAR RATING AND GREEN FLAG ARE NOT WORKING ATT ALL. 

      I mean we are paying customers. Make it work. 

       

      Updated version of the app. OSX Big Sur. This is a web applicaton. Checking in SAFARI.

        This feature request applies to Lightroom Ecosystem but has posts included for legacy Ligthroom Classic requests regarding the same topic.

          It can't be an "as designed" feature to have finding a client or friends likes on your photos to be a different process for each version of LR. On iPad you can toggle on an overlay of badges with hearts and comments. In IPhone there is no such overlay. In LR Classic you can only sort by last comment and the badges don't even show up anymore. And in LR Desktop it is different still. Just make it consistent and make them filtarable so we can find them. Please. The current randomness makes no sense.

            The overlay should also exist in the iPhone app, but only if the album is still shared. If an album received comments/likes, and it was subsequently unshared, the view overlay is no longer available (and indeed the dedicated Activity tab cannot be used to view any historical comments/likes). That is consistent between iPad and iPhone, and that is exactly what I'm seeing on my devices. However, that is different to Classic, Lightroom desktop and Lightroom Web which all retain the comments/likes no matter if the album is shared or not. I'd like to be able to see comments/likes across the whole ecosystem, irrespective of the share status of an album. 

             

            The issue of the badges no longer showing in Classic is a bug, which I reported some months ago, and which I believe is being worked on.

              Good day.

              I'm using the "copy lightroom list" feature on pixieset and Im unsuccessful in being able to paste them in the search bar in my lightroom. I realize everyone is doing this in Lightroom classic but I'd hope that the newest version of Lightroom has this feature too. I don't have the option to filter from "contains all" to "contain" on this version and I'm getting extremely frustrated.

               

              My clients chose 100's of favourites and I'm tired of selecting them all manually. I should be done editing these photos right now but instead I'm quickly writing a post.

               

              I can choose up to TWO filenames at a time and it will appear in my lightroom but anymore than that I can't. Please help.

               

              Thanks

              I can filter file names and all kinds of data, but I can't filter files by text in their comments they received from a shared online album, that would be really useful.

              It would be helpful if I could create a smart collection that matched images in a collection that had LIKES, ideally sorted on the total number of LIKES.

              Example: I have uploaded 100 images to an Adobe Cloud album and made Comments active. A panel of 20 users review the images online and click LIKE for their top 10. A Smart Collection would be useful to identify and sort the images with the top number of LIKES.

              It would be even better if each user could score all images or rank their top 10 and we could accumulate the total score for each image

              BTW the yellow flag on my collection (in Classic) does not appear when there are comments. (update, the yellow flag does appear when also Tech preview Proofing is switched on.) This might be because I have manually uploaded the images to the album so my album has synced into a new collection in my FROM LIGHTROOM collection set. It would be helpful to have an indication when new comments or LIKES have been added.

                Hi! I would love a feature where you could sort photos by likes. It was puke help my work because then I can share an album for example after a wedding. And the couple could like the photos they like. If I then could sort them after likes it would make it easy to work with just the photos that have been liked.
