I would love to be able to create smart albums (aka smart collections) in the all-new Lightroom CC. Basically, a folder that contains a set of photos based on metadata information and updates automatically. The feature set should ideally contain all the options that exist in Lightroom Classic for smart collections. Thanks!

Please bring "smart album" (or "saved search") to Lightroom CC.

This works great in Lightroom Classic.

I organize all my pictures with keywords and would like to be able to define albums/filters like ">=3 stars AND keywords contain hiking".

This is one of the most important features

Please make Smart Album feature on Lightroom mobile.

I agree that Lightroom Classic's filter bar is too primitive. It needs more options such as the ones discussed here.

I think that Adobe will never implement this feature.

I agree: smart folders is critical otherwise there's no real organization method since Lightroom doesn't use folders like Lightroom Classic does.

This is like a conscious product design decision: Adobe wants to keep some separation between Lightroom and Lightroom Classic, and keeping smart folders/collections in Lightroom Classic is one way. It's been years since this feature has been requested and it would be a very easy solution to implement, but Adobe has chosen not to.

Smart albums were my way of sorting my “work in progress” while it moves through my workflow. Would be great to get them back in the new CC.
