I had occasion to use Aperture and I ran across a feature I used there, but cannot seem to replicate in Lr.
When viewing a map, in Aperture you can select the images shown on the current map view and create a smart album for that area, say a park. So any images you geolocate to that same spot will dynamically be added to the album, which of course is available elsewhere in Aperture.
In Lr, you can save MAP locations, like the same area of park. Of course in Map module it shows all the images in that park. But once OUT of the Map view, you can't find the images unless you create a collection from them...but here's the rub: it's a static collection, not a dynamic smart one. What I'd like is a smart collection that would update with every image I geolocate to the park. I could go back to map, use the saved location feature, and add the new images to the collection. But a smart one would be nicer, as in Aperture.
Anyone know how to do this? I can use Jeffrey Friedl's Geocoding plugin to do a proximity search having selected one of the images in the park, but that's still more steps.
