P: Indicate and search which photos have been exported

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

It would be extremely useful to have an option to filter images by export status. It would make my workflow much cleaner if I could "show photos that have NOT been exported yet."

I am a wrestling photographer and often end up with tens of thousands of images from a tournament. I'll often need to quickly edit some matches from the resulting images and then come back to the album to finish, sometimes months and even years later.

Because of this, I will often end up with different sections of an event in different stages of editing - some have been culled, some have been developed, some have been exported, and some haven't been reviewed at all. There are ways for me to separate out all of the different stages (flagged/unflagged, sort by edit time, etc) except for those that have been culled from those that have been developed and exported.

I can make a workaround by labeling large groups with a color or a rating, but I use those structures for different things, and therefore it doesn't always work. Plus, it's another step to remember to label them after I've culled them, but before I've developed and exported them, and then to label/unlabel after doing so. Having a filter category of exported/not exported would make things so much easier, efficient, and reliable.

Thank you!

Scheint, als ob Du als Ersteller nicht selber voten kannst. War mir so nicht bekannt.

The Any Filter plugin lets you search and filter by the date of last export:

I have been trying to figure out the proper command to do this, for ages now. How do I make Run Any Command add exported photos to a collection? I simply can't figure it out

Add the Run Any Command as a post-process action to your export, as described in the plugin's directions:

Leave everything blank, and at the bottom of Run Any Command panel, enter the name of the collection:

It's great that we have plugin authors providing functionality missing in Lightroom Classic. John Ellis's excellent plugins are described in this thread. I've been using Jeffrey Friedl's Snapshot on Export plugin for years to help with this issue. In addition to creating a snapshot as I export, I also have it set the color label on the image in LrC to Purple (no keyboard shortcut for that label so I don't use it for anything else) and add a keyword "Exported". Images I've exported are always easy to find. I incorporate Snapshot on Export into my export presets. The plugin doesn't let me add the images exported to a collection directly, but a Smart Collection could be made to include images with the "exported" keyword.

LR 13.3 finally implemented the Exported Files filter criterion and the Exported smart-collection criterion.

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, @Rick Spaulding -, please mark this Idea as implemented.
