Love to be able to flag entire folders in the Lightroom Library module.

I flag individual photographs that I would like to work on, but I'd love to be able to flag entire folders in a way that the flag is visible in the navigator pane. I would most likely flag folders that still had photographs needing work, and "unflag" the folder once all work was completed.

So, anyone out there have a suggestion on how to do something similar? What's your workflow in terms of tracking folders needing work?

Thanks,
Andy

Not really want you want to hear (I'm guessing) but my solution is to hide the Folders side-bar item completely.

Thanks for the thought, John.

That would hide all the folders... I want to see them all, but visually be able to tell which folders I want to take some action on. (In this case, folders that have files that I still need to work on.)

Thanks, though. Appreciation your time.

How about just renaming the folder, e.g. by adding a "!" to the front? That'll also make it float to the top of your folder list.
