Grid View: Flags, Rating, Color Label read only? / Mark Images Read only?

[b_gossweiler]

Hi


I'd like to see the flag-status, rating and color label assigned to an image as cell icons. But if I show them as Cell Icons, I am also able to change them, which happens to me quite often accidentally when I click into the frame of a image to change selections.


Is it possible to show these markers for each image without being able to change them in the frame? I would be quite happy being able to change them from the tool bar, but still being able to see them on the single image.


Related to this:


Is it somehow possible to mark images as read only, so that they will be protected from further changes (development, metadata etc.)? This would be nice for older images, which have been processed completely and should stay that way, inhibiting accidental changes to images/metadata. Sometimes it is difficult to even notice when one accidentally changes metadata on an image.


Thanks for your thoughts

As far as read-only where development is concerned, consider using a Snapshot. It creates a 'marker' that can return you to exactly that state in the development process. You can create as many 'read only' versions in Snapshots as you like. Snapshot is found in the left side of the Develop module.

Thanks Rikk, I can see the idea of snapshots, at least for development settings. Do you know a way of adding snapshots to several selected images with one klick?
