I've had a request from my biggest client to create a "filing/approval" system - preferably by tomorrow so they can sort through my photos with their web designer.
The timescale is not as ridiculous as it sounds - I've already used Lightroom Web to show them pictures, but just not organised the way they want it. The approval thing is new though.
The biggest hurdle to using Lightroom Web though is the lack of filenames. It's a hot topic on feedback.photoshop.com, and I posted there as well - why are they not displayed. One of the adobe engineers cam back with the information that if you hit i on the keyboard then you get the filename in the thumbnail display.
Well, that's a start. Checking out some of the engineers other posts, I found that the Caption is displayed in the full screen info panel as well (This is even when logged in as a random user (my client), not the owner of the photos, or not logged in at all). It's a short step then to copy the filenames to the Caption field (using John Beardy's Find replace plugin), and then it gets displayed for my client when they view the galleries I've shared.
Approvals - not sure - but I can get them to like the pictures if they approve, and I can get them to comment. It means that they have to create an adobe Id - but that's not too hard.
The thread is here Lightroom mobile: Photo info missing | Photoshop Family Customer Community - scroll to the bottom for the useful stuff ;-)
