P: Filter for Likes and Comments

[johnrellis]

Now that Adobe is committing to LR Mobile, it would be great if LR had better support for comments and likes:

- Ability to filter and search in smart collections for comments and likes. The Sort: Last Comment Time is helpful but not sufficient -- it only works with collections synced with LR Cloud, and you can only sort one collection at time (huh??).

- The same support for other publish services like Flickr that also sync user comments. Why did Adobe implement Last Comment Time and comment notifications just for LR Mobile? The underlying structure is already there to implement it for the other services as well. These other services have a diversity of features that many users find valuable and that are unlikely to ever appear in LR Mobile, so asking them to switch to LR Mobile just to get the trivial ability to sort by comment time is frustrating.

- SDK access to the comments and likes, so that plugins can manipulate that metadata just like they have the ability to manipulate other metadata. Just providing SDK access would let plugin developers provide the other functionality.

This has been going on for 10 years

Hi, we know, but to implement it in Lightroom mobile would have greatly made the program much faster & easier to use. Because of this feature alone is missing, we are still committed to use lightroom classic as it makes selection, filtering and comments much faster than mobile version to work with. RIGHT NOW we are doing it MANUALLY one by one, hunting the photos selected by our clients manually to flag it for them and then work can begin for editing. 

Where else, lightroom classic just one button filters it all for us with the "last comment time" button. Though having a much complete system to filter and show commented photos would be greatly appreciated such as filtering by comment (typed) or just like, but right now are working with what we have. 

Overall I'm surprised it is still pending (been years) for such a small but crucial part of lightroom system to work with client seamlessly .

My reply it to Adobe Team - Benjamin Warde answer to us all.

I do BULK Brand photography, and use Lightrom classic for my workflows. this needs to be a lightroom classic feature immediately.

While waiting for Adobe to improve this, you can use the Any Filter plugin to filter for likes and comments -- see here.

Hello how I can show liked photos in LR for ipad? My client liked few photos via online album and I dont know how to show only liked photos (on macbook is it possible via filter)

Hey, @karelf44702677.  Welcome to the Lightroom community. I'll help you figure this out. 

On Lightroom Desktop, in a shared album, you can sort images based on Likes & comments from the search filter menu:

These optional filters are currently not available for Lightroom on mobile. You can view likes on each image in the full-screen view > Activity panel. Or, in the Grid view > 3 dots > Activity shows a list of liked images. 

I hope this helps. 

Thanks!

Unreal that it's been 11 years and this insanely simple function hasn't been implemented. My clients should be able to filter by what images they've liked in the shared album.

A bump (agian) to have the ability to filter on comments / likes in LrC in a shared album Collection.

Benjamin could you please explain how to access this? I am in Lightroom (cloud) on Mac - filter options I have are Capture Date, Import Date, Modified Date, File Name, Star Rating and Custom Order.  There is nothing on the web, AI tells me it does not exist.  If you are an Adobe employee please when you comment could you explain a bit more?  I have just copied 100 notifications to flag picks from three clients from 3,000 pictures it is a collosal waste of time.  Many thanks in advance, Alex.

I would be happy if the web interface could filter for comments and likes, that would be something I can use on Desktop and Mobile (so annoying this feature is only availabe on a Desktop).

Add filtering for Original or SmarPreview to the web interface and I can uninstall LR CC Desktop that I only have installed to be able to filter for these two.

It's 2025 - how can this NOT be a feature yet??

[johnn50423288]

Insane. Adobe - please take 1 minute to stop rolling out questionable AI features and add this basic functionality!

Die einzigen Filteroptionen sind ja leider noch immer nur die, die nur dem Galerie-Ersteller zur Verfügung stehen (also Sterne, ablehnen etc). Ich verstehe ja bis heute nicht, dass man nicht nach Likes/Kommentaren filtern kann in diesen Galerien auf lightroom.adobe.com - aber dass man jetzt beim Durchblättern nicht mal mehr sieht, OB wer kommentiert/geliked hat, bis man das "Aktivitäts"-Icon (Sprechblase) anklickt... wieso wurde das entfernt? Für Entscheidungshilfen bei der Fotoauswahl war das super, wenn man wenigstens gesehen hat, ob es schon jemandem gefallen hat und welche Bilder einen Kommentar enthalten.

Oder ist das ev. ein Bug? So sind die Onlinegalerien für mich definitiv nutzlos geworden und werde für die Fotoauswahl durch Kunden auf andere Tools ausweichen. Ich hab definitiv keine Zeit, mich ständig durch ganze Galerien klicken zu müssen, um das Feedback zu finden und worst case sogar was zu übersehen deswegen. Wie macht ihr das resp. was nutzt ihr anstelle der Adobe-Galerien?
