SDK: set folder or collection color label.

[kimaldis]

I may have asked this before but probably a while back, maybe things have changed.

I'm looking for a quick, non-menu way to add or remove color labels from sources; shortcut key combination or in the SDK. Either will do. Any thoughts?

Well for a start, the first four colours of flag R Y G B can be toggled with keys 6, 7, 8, 9.

*sources*. 🙂

Oops, sorry for misunderstanding.

To complicate this idea "Source" (referring to what is seen above the Filmstrip) may for a given image, at various different times, denote its folder - or one or another collection, or one or another smart collection - or a built-in entity such as All Photographs. It isn't just one enduring thing. It is your ephemeral viewing context. Your current "source" may even be a parent folder of this image's immediate folder (when Show Photos in Subfolders is active).

Poking around in TranslatedStrings, I don't see any way to define a keyboard shortcut within LR. And I have seen a documented (or undocumented) method in the SDK.  That functionality was added years after LR stopped investing in support for the SDK.
