P: Please add Export to Parent Folder optionOpen for Voting

I would like to request that we add to the export options. Currently I have been using "Export to: Same folder as original photo" and then moving the sub-folder it creates in Library View, but it would be great to just have the following option:   "Export to: Parent folder of original photo"   Here's my use-case... My photography drive structure looks like this:   Working Drive Pictures Clients YYYY-MM-DD-ShootName RAW Edited-JPEGs High-Resolution Low-Resolution Rejects   When I am editing a shoot, I begin with the RAW files. After culling, I move over all 0-star images to Rejects folder. Next, I perform all basic edits in Lightroom and I then export full-resolution full-quality JPEGs to a folder named Edited-JPEGs which currently goes under the RAW folder, then I manually move it to the parent folder in Library view. Then I do any retouching to the Edited-JPEGs in Photoshop. Once I've completed any retouching I then go back into Lightroom and export High-Resolution (smaller than full-resolution) and Low-Resolution files for my clients, which I deliver via digital download.   I would love to not have to bounce back and forth into Library mode moving folders around, it's extra unnecessary steps for me. I also do not want to manually select folders on each export, it's tedious and prone to errors with my ADHD brain.   Exporting to the parent folder with an option in the drop-down would allow me to export with fewer clicks to the desired location and would make me super happy!

P: User-Managed Processing Queue for Heavy AI Tasks & ExportsOpen for Voting

Feature Request: Dedicated Processing Queue for Image processing and Background TasksIdea/SummaryIntroduce a dedicated, interactive Processing Queue panel in Lightroom that allows photographers to manually queue images for various purposesResource-intensive operations —such as AI Denoise, Lens Blur, AI Masking, Upscaling (Super Resolution), and background exports—and manage them in priority order using context menus and dedicated keyboard shortcuts. When there are 100’s/1000’s of images and I would like to process in a queue - would like this process. This can be manual editing or Resource intensive operations, or a mix of both.The ProblemApplying heavy AI operations (like AI Denoise) or triggering large exports forces immediate processing or utilizes a rigid, automated background sequence. This frequently bogs down system performance, causing lag in the Develop module when trying to move to the next image. There is no way to quickly "save heavy processing for later" or pause/reorder the tasks without completely canceling them, breaking a fluid editing rhythm. Proposed Solution / Workflow Context Menu & Keyboard Shortcut Integration: Add an "Add to Processing Queue" option to the right-click context menu in the Library Grid, Filmstrip, and Develop modules. The Shortcut: Assign a dedicated, customizable keyboard shortcut (e.g., Ctrl + Q / Cmd + Q, or a user-defined combination) to instantly push the selected image(s) and their pending heavy adjustments into the queue without ever lifting hands from the keyboard. Dedicated Queue Panel: Introduce a collapsible "Processing Queue" panel (similar to an export or download manager) that displays all pending tasks. Priority Management: Within this panel, users should be able to: Drag and drop items to reorder and change processing priority. Pause, resume, or cancel individual tasks or the entire queue. Trigger Control: Allow users to either let the queue run silently in the background with limited resource allocation, or hit a "Start Queue" button to process everything in bulk when walking away from the workstation. Why This Benefits Photographers Interrupted Workflow Prevention: Photographers can maintain a fast, fluid editing rhythm. By hitting a quick keyboard shortcut or right-clicking, they can flag a heavy task and immediately move to culling or basic adjustments on the next image without waiting for the machine to catch up. Resource Optimization: It gives professionals complete control over when their hardware is pushed to its limits, preventing system thermal throttling or lag during critical, high-speed editing sessions. This is different from a target collection which is just a bucket for sorting images; this proposed feature is a traffic controller for computer horsepower and as number of images to process goes higher, works better.
