P: Modal dialogs should not completely halt export and other background tasksOpen for Voting

Hello Adobe Team and Community, I am submitting an idea to solve a critical workflow issue in Lightroom Classic: any modal dialog box completely pauses all ongoing background processes. **The Problem (Description):**When a long-running background task is active (like exporting thousands of photos, importing a large shoot, or building smart previews), a simple modal dialog box can appear unexpectedly. For example, the "Enable address lookup?" or a face detection confirmation. When this happens, the background task is completely halted and remains paused indefinitely until the user manually dismisses the dialog. **Why Fixing This is Valuable:**For any professional user, this is a major disruption. If I start a 5-hour export and step away from my desk, the entire process could be stopped 10 minutes in by a simple pop-up. This defeats the purpose of background processing and forces me to constantly monitor the application. It severely impacts productivity and makes it impossible to run essential tasks unattended (e.g., overnight). **The Idea (Proposed Solution):**I propose that non-critical notifications should be non-modal and should NOT pause essential background tasks. Possible solutions could be:1. Display notifications as non-blocking pop-ups (toasts) in a corner of the screen that don't require an immediate response.2. Create a "Notification Center" within the Lightroom UI where all these requests can queue up, waiting for the user's attention, while allowing background tasks to complete without interruption. This change would be a massive quality-of-life improvement for all serious Lightroom Classic users. ---My System Info:Lightroom Classic Version: Lightroom Classic version: 14.4 [ 202506051112-5918896a ]Operating System: 15.6 (24G84)

Productions - add ability to 'Open' Project as Read OnlyOpen for Voting

Within Premiere Productions, it would be great to have the ability to be able to open a project as ‘read only’ rather than opening it and then click to convert it from ‘editable’ to ‘read-only’. The reason behind this is that there plenty of projects that get created (Rushes, selects timelines etc…) that once created, not only rarely need changes to, but actively want changes to be prevented.  This is currently possible by opening the project (which defaults to ‘editable’) and then clicking the Read/Write toggle.  But this step is a real faff and easy to forget. So if nothing else, the option to right click and ‘Open as Read Only’ would work.  Beyond that, a keyboard shortcut to open project as Read Only, or even to toggle or set it between Read or Write when the project panel active.Beyond that, it could be cool to set default behaviour for certain projects.  So projects that you know you’ll always want to open as ‘read only’ will default to that.  I guess it could be as simple as just remembering the state it was in when it was last open (although I guess writing that info might not be as simple  given it would be ‘Read only’ mode). I just think this would be a really helpful feature to add to the Production workflow and would help to protect projects from having unintended changes saved.

Add "File path" as search optionOpen for Voting

Via search or filter in Bridge we would like to display all images that are located in a folder with the name “03_JPG”, for example. So we don't want to display the folders in Bridge, but all images that are located within a folder path with a specific name. Example:We have the following folder structure: Marketing-Images       Shooting 1              01_Unedited              02_PSD              03_JPG       Shooting 2              01_Unedited              02_PSD              03_JPG       Shooting 3              01_Unedited              02_PSD              03_JPGetc. Now I want to search within the "Marketing-Images" folder for all pictures that are located in any of the "03_JPG" subfolders that have 5-stars for example. The search result should show me all images that have "03_JPG" in their folder path. I do not want to get folders as a search result. We have images with the file format .jpg in the folder "01_Unedited" as well as in the folder "03_JPG". So filtering for filename or file type is not an option.

Feedback - Basic QoL Improvements that I would love to seeOpen for Voting

Can we please get a default option on sorting media? Currently the default sort is by framerate in my project window and there is not way to change that. I'm so tired of having to change it manually for every single project. It seems like something that would be really simple to implement. And the default sort set in bin view is user order. Both of these default sorting options dont help my workflow and are just annoying to change all the time.  Second thing is a proper import button for LUTs in lumetri. Its 2025, I should not have to go find an obscure folder directory in order to import my LUTs. Please just implement a button where we can import luts in Premiere simply and quickly. Thirdly - Please allow us to save our keyboard shortcuts and settings in the cloud. This used to be a feature but is removed from what I can understand. This is such a key feature, I reinstall premiere at least 2 times a year and it would be a major help.  Another thing that is more of a bug I would like to report. Were still having a lot of issues when exporting h.265 footage from DJI drones. Often in an exported video the drone shots will appear as a frozen still. This issue is fixed if I clear all my cache and export again. But i remember this was an issue in 2018, Its a bit ridiculous that we're still seeing this issue. Many forum posts offer home made fixes and show that many people are having this issue in their exports.  All quality of life improvements that I would consider easy/essential/appreciated. If any of these options do exist and I am unaware please let me know.

Selecting existing documents; and renaming in modalOpen for Voting

Hi folks, Happy New Year! I have 2 feature requests that would improve the UX and workflows.It would be incredibly helpful if there were a way of searching and selecting a document from "Your stuff". it would also be very useful if you could rename a document inside the embed modal in the same way that you can rename a document in the main web app.1. Selecting an existing document Within a project in our app, people can create a new Adobe Express asset linked to an object in our system. They can then edit and render new versions of it using the methods that you provide. However, users have their own assets within Adobe Express that they have either created in the full web app or previously created using the embed feature. Alongside the create and embed buttons it would be Extremely useful to have a "Select existing Adobe Express document" button. Currently the only way that we can let them do that is by manually copying and pasting the project UID into an input field that is then used by the edit button. That's not a great UX.  Ideally someone should just be able to click a button, browse their library of existing assets in their account and select a project that they want to open up in the embed model – then they can edit or render back an image or video to attach to the object in our app. We have people who create multiple pages within a document with different versions of buttons they are using in their interactive video for example. Or just want to reuse an existing asset in another part of their project without having to create a new blank document and import their old asset into it.There are some other workflow benefits with brand kits and templates that I won't go into, but you get the idea. 2. Naming documents in the embed modal.Currently we have to rename the exported files when they are returned to our app using logic on our side because all assets are just returned to our media library with a generic name. Given that the assets are created In Express with an untitled name and that all assets in regular full Express have names that you can edit, I don't understand why there is no editable name at the top left of the embed panel. A follow-up to this is that when you are creating something, why can't you also choose where to organise & store it in your folders. But that is secondary to naming. We are still on API v3 because of priorities so I'd be really happy to know that these things are already available in version four – but if they are not, please can I submit them for serious consideration? Ru
