Storing all Originals on iPad/iPhone

Hi,

I want to keep a local copy of all originals on my iPad. I have a lot (100s) of albums and I don't want to have to have to download the originals for each individual album. To get around this this I have created an album called "All Photos" and then selected all my photos and dragged them to the new album. I then download the originals for the "All Photos" album.

This works well, but I was wondering if there is a simpler way? It would be good if Lightroom had Smart Albums that I could use to make sure my "All Photos" album alway contained my full library rather than having to make sure that I add any new photos to the "All Photos" album as well as a specific album e.g. "My Summer Holiday".

Even better would be an option in Settings for "Download all Originals . That would seem pretty simple for Adobe to implement!

That’s the workaround I’ve used in the past too. I don’t think most people have enough space on their iPads to warrant the engineering time yet, but itd be worth putting in a feature request anyway. There’s a link in the menu bar to do so.
