P: Ability to sync Smart Collections with Ecosystem Clients

The whole idea of smart collections is that they are generated on the fly in an intelligent way, and adding an option to have this synced to mobile automatically would make smart collections far smarter than they are now.

Hi ashleigh, the alternative would be to create a smart collection with flagged photos and then copy the photos to the collection you sync

If you can, Help to upload the plugin in dropbox or google drive and share the link here friend 🙂

Lightroom Mobile. Love the ability to sync, but I'm a serious amateur and I can take 1000 pics in a shoot, but I only need 50 of them to sync to my mobile. Why can't we set a global option to Sync only flagged photos, or some other variation?

Ah! Great

you mean syncing to mobile and from mobile. I meant syncing new photos from Lr Desktop up to the CC 😉

Syncing on mobile devices works at any time you have an internet collection - it doesn't need the desktop turned on.

actually, this is a very good point. I forgot the syncing works only with desktop Lr switched on!

none taken - I'm all for having it sync automatically! and also I'm all for having the app sync in the background, too!!

I'm one of those fortunate ones to have the plugin from robcole.com, see post from about 5 months ago, before it disappeared.
This just syncs the status of selected smart collections whenever Lightroom is running but doesn't reflect changes on the iPad. They become static collections on mobile.
I have a workflow where I start with my imported photos unflagged. I have a collection for that. I can work through them on the iPad and set flags and stars and these all sync when I next run Lightroom. I can then delete the rejected photos in Lightroom, and add keywords and tag the flagged ones with the appropriate colours depending on the stars. I then unflag everything.
It will become more powerful when Adobe supports colour tags and keywords on mobile, but it's already incredibly useful to be able to sync a certain class of photos from a smart collection in Lightroom.
Adobe, please at least give us this. From experience, it's very very useful.
