Jim,

On my Window 7 system, the smart collections are listed first, then the regular collection.

Yes, the collection groups first, then the regular collections and at the bottom I have two book collections and three print collections.

Jim may be referring to some other capability than what I am understanding.

Sorry if I was unclear in my last post: I meant I'd like to have the option to sort files by Title within Collections, not just to sort Collections by Title  :-[

In other words, I'd like to see Title added to the Sort menu below the grid view of a collection, which at present is quite limited in scope (see attached) and it's a pain to sort 50 images in a collection by Title manually

We all think our own special requests won't be that difficult to program....

John


And we all think that our "requirements" won't affect the responsiveness of LR.  ::)

Its been some time now...Anyone want to vote on the initial post?
I have a thought that since Photoshop is now in heaven, perhaps LR would have a chance to evolve its capabilities...At least only in having the options of doing things mentioned initially and many of the wonderful and key points made by you.

Now I understand, sounds very useful.

Little guessing game:

- no beta this time for LR6
- announced 18th of June
- set in stone features (found in ACR beta): gradients and radial filter can be edited/modified with the brush tool
- the same process version
- improvements in other modules (???)

Not much to wait.

I'd really like to be able to sort Collections by alphabetical order of Title .... Not sure if John's ListView does this.....

Yes, it does. But I agree, one shouldn't be forced to use a plug-in for sorting by such common fields.

Thanks John, good to know there is a solution!

I'd love an upgraded camera tether function that includes live view and automated focus/exposure bracketing.

I like LR to also delete the file in my backup drive when I choose "remove from the disk" because after you deleting  lots of pictures from the disc, they are still in back up drive and its annoying to delete them one by one. At least it can give you the option if you want to delete them or not

Sync your back up drive/folders to the main drive and you're sorted. Lots and lots of software that can do that for you.

Yes, this isn't really something LR can do - not safely.  It's something you have to arrange in conjunction with your backup software.  Loads of stuff does that.  I use the Microsoft utility Robocopy.  Look for something that can do mirror copies or synchronised copies. 

Note that this sort of thing is a bit dangerous if you don't have a multi-copy backup system, or some archive system.  Otherwise, the moment you mistakenly delete a file, it's also gone from your backup!

Not quite as until you empty Trash on the Mac or Recycle bin on PC, it's still hanging around. But once they are emptied....
Also recovering deleted files is quite easy as until written over they are still there.

How would it know there is backup and where it is?

When you import file in LR, it also asks where to put the backup files so it supposed to has FAT of all backed-up files I think.

But that's a waste of time as it doesn't then take note of your alterations once in LR, so you may as well back your work up properly.

Better talk to MSFT bud, because until the print pipeline in Windows can handle 16 bits, neither LR nor PS can send a full 16 bit output to the print driver. (besides, you really are not losing much of anything b not having it...)

Jeff, can I ask that either you or Michael or the two of you write up an essay on this? I suppose the implication here is that the Apple versions of LR/PS can deliver 16bit output to the print driver and print using that rather than from an 8bit image. As a Windows users, I never suspected this kind of difference, now I'm wondering if all the professionals use Apple for good reason (aside from usability preferences) but you're suggesting not? The pixel peeper in me is curious about this topic (and I'm sure others would be too!) but this thread doesn't seem the right place for it.

It would REALLY be USEFUL to have histogram pixel readouts and clipping indicators in Library.

I really wouldn't loose any sleep over it...fact is, if you are working with 16 bit images and using the Adobe ACE when printing from LR or Ps, you won't really be at a disadvantage...The Adobe ACE CMM does it's color transforms in 20-bit precision before sending the final 8-bit to the print pipeline.
