After reading various comments about Lightroom 4 I'd pretty much given up on the idea of upgrading (I'm on 3.4 now). But I just remembered one infuriating characteristic of 3.x and earlier which, if fixed, would get me to upgrade in a heartbeat....
When in the Library view Lightroom's left-hand panel has various ways of browsing through your files. I most often do so through the directory structure, which I have settled on after years of refinement, throught the "Folders" section. (I'd love it if they didn't insist on using the detestable euphemism of "Folders" for directories, but I know better than to expect that to change). Anyway, Lightroom always shows me the (incredibly long) list of every directory (with photos) on a particular drive, which requires more and more scrolling every time I add photos. And it won't collapse all the subdirectories in directory to save scrolling (like most other applications, including Adobe Bridge, do). If they've fixed this in Lightroom 4 I'll buy it tomorrow. Or, alternately, if there's a way to do it in my version and I've simply missed it (not that such a thing could ever happen with adobe's <ahem> superb documentation)... well, that would be good news, too. And considerably less expensive :-) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
