Lightroom CC: My list of things I'd like to see...

A few things I hope to see in the not to distant future...

smart albums
find photos not in an album, via a smart album most likely
blue sync complete dots too overpowering in square grid view, just show the sync not finished icon then go away
custom sort order for folders and albums in sidebar
ability to search on any part of file name. currently must include beginning characters
text overlays and badges (has edits applied for example)
when rating, flagging, etc. of a stack, all contents tagged as well, not just cover image
temporary trash, 30 days or whatever
auto stacking based on short time interval, useful when exposure bracketing
map view for geo tagged photos, ability to add geo locations photos on map as well
segment all photos view somehow, by month maybe
zoom less then full screen. 50% or whatever
HDR merge and pano stitching
ability to send more then one photo at a time to Photoshop so HDR or stitching can be done there
raw + jpg workflow
list view of photos with columns of metadata
uploads sucking all bandwidth, throttle somehow

Hi Mike,

Wow! There are a bunch of great ideas in that list.

This forum is able to track votes for feature requests like these but each idea needs to be a separate post for that to happen. You can also search the forum for feature requests that match your own and vote on them. I've found a few for you.

Thanks for the great ideas and input and please consider putting some of your other ideas in single posts so the rest of the community can vote on them!
