Setting a flag during export

[JayBreezy]

Is there a plugin or built-in way to set the flag (or "color" code) for a photo that has been exported? I want a quick way to see all the photos I've exported within lightroom.

You can use a Publish service in Lightroom.

Can you elaborate? I generally do my edits, set up my export directory, then right-click, export with previous. I want this action to also set the flagged option for the photo in lightroom.

A Publish Service keeps a record of which photos have been "published", in other words exported. You can search the metadata for which photos have been exported.

The plugins from Jeffrey Friedl are very good.

It's not possible in Lightroom off-the-shelf, but Jeffrey Friedl's Snapshot-on-export plugin allows you to change the flag state of exported pictures and also add a category or keywords.

Hope that helps,
