Add the ability to export Lightroom file names to a text list.

[jedbmaggie]

Does LIghtroom have a feature that allows you to export files names into a text list?  This would be tremendously useful for copyright registrations.  Sems like an easy feature to add.

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud Desktop to Lightroom for you.

Hi. Could you tell - is the feature of exporting files names list avaiable or still not?

[Rob_Cullen · Accepted solution]

No. A feature to export a text list is not available.  Best work-around I can suggest (there might be others) is to-

Export the photos as very small JPG thumbnails and create your list from the exported files. Delete the JPG files later.

 My Example-  Lightroom-Desktop v7.1.2 on Windows-PC. Exported files to temporary folder and then used a small PC app (Directory List and Print) that can create Word Docs, Excel Lists, Print to PDF.

Thank you very much, it helped!

May I ask you one more a bit related question about Lightroom desktop (7.1.2)?

Is it possible to export keyword list of, for instance, an album and to see how many of different of them occured there. 

(once I found strange solution - to select group of files, to press K for keywords list and then to have a screenshot for the list - and then to use some service to make doc out of the screenshot with the list (jpg to doc) (but the Lightroom doesnot show how many of each keyword in the album). I think this was very strange solution.

I don't have an answer for this question.

My only thought (for my 'Export' suggestion above) is a paid Pro Licence for the app 'Directory List & Print'  which would allow listing keywords in an excel spreadsheet (easily summed).

Your problem involves 'downloading' files from the Cloud to extract exif metadata (Not available in Lightroom). Finding an app to view the metadata is the next step.

Adobe Bridge will show keywords of the files you Export from Lr, but not a sum for each KW. Bridge will [find] all images with one specific KW for a visual indication of files with that specific KW, but it is a manual process to [Find] each KW.

Thank you again. 

I have another question about key words search in Lightroom (cloud), all my attepmts to google the answer failed. Is it possible to use AND, OR and NOT boolean operators. I mean, for instance, I have 4 key words for a group of photos, some of them have one, some another, some third, some forth. And I'd like to filter all but not includig tagthirdkeyword. Or all photos,  which have either tagkeywords1 or tagkeyword4. May be you can help. (My friend told me there is a feature in Lightroom Classic like this, but I am looking for it in Lightroom Cloud and I don't believe it is imposible.

Hello!
I am looking for this feature in Lightroom too.
As a workaround I used too methods similar to the one already mentioned.
First you export small jpeg files. Then you can upload them to a free account with this service www.picdrop.com. When you select all files, you can export them as a list for Lightroom. That works like a charme.
Alternativ you can use Windows command:

1. Command DOS

This is one of many important command-line commands that are easy to remember and easy to perform. Here's how you can get started with it:

1. Go to the Start menu search bar, type in 'command prompt,' and run the Command prompt as an administrator.
2. Use the cd command to navigate to the directory you want to print. For example, to navigate to your Documents folder, you would input cd C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents, switching out yourusename for your own.
3. Type dir > print.txt, then press Enter and exit the Command Prompt.
4. In File Explorer, navigate to the same folder, and you should see a print.txt file. This is a plain text file that can be opened in Notepad (or any other text editor) and then printed.
