No "View Options" like LrC

Question

Been working with shared albums for Lightroom Web, and I am trying to figure out how I can get View Options for the Grid View within Lr like there are many options in LrC.

When viewing the photos in a Lightroom Web shared album, it gives you the consecutive number of the photo out of how many photos are in the album. However, if I try and view the same thing within Lr, it gives me how many photos are selected out of the total for the album.

That is frustrating because when someone wants to tell me what photo number they are looking at on the web, it will not be the same as when I view it in Lr. Yes, they can look at the information using the info panel. Unfortunately, that is for one individual photo at a time. Can we get more options to show the filename and photo number of the photo, etc., at a glance like we can using View Options within LrC?

Yes, that's a good request which I'm sure has already been made at the Adobe feedback site, so it would be useful to head over there and add your vote.

In the mean time did you know that when you and your clients are viewing the shared album in the grid mode in the LrWeb app, pressing the "O" key (without the quotes) will toggle between a couple of overlay options? One press will show the filename of each image, a second press witll show slightly more info (capture date and pixel dimensions, but only if "Show Metadata" has been enabled in the album's share settings dialog). The next press toggles the display off.

Not what you are looking for, but might save your clients some time when making their selections.

And have you also explored the client proofing option in LrWeb? That has some possibilities in this area, i.e. the client can make selections which you can then filter in LrWeb and automatically have them added to a new album, which syncs of course to both Lr and LrC (making subsequent processing of just the selects much easier).

This is primarily a user supported forum. But here is a link to another forum where the developers monitor much more closely. It would be well for you to post your suggestion on that forum.
