How to annotate a folder in LR 5?

I'm editing many folders for a book project and want to 'mark' a folder when I've edited the images in it.
This will help me save time and know my progress on this task without writing down the names of folders
and keeping a list.
Thanks!

A great reminder to access the already built-in features of LR. 
One feature to keep in mind:
Non-exporting keywords.
In other words, you can have keywords for external use: e.g. people's names & objects in photographs... - make those exportable. But you can also have keywords (or other metadata) designed expressly for "status tracking" - e.g. 'Final' or 'NeedsWork' ... - make those non-exporting.
Personally, I use keywords and/or labels for photo statuses, and custom metadata (plugin-provided) for supporting notes. If you prefer to do without plugins as much as possible, you can kype an unused IPTC field for such notes instead.
If you have two branches of keywords:
1. Must have.
2. Must not have.
Then you can assure photos have been assigned certain keywords before being considered done and/or exportable. And/or if you prefer, you can assure certain keywords have been cleared...
A fun story: One user of plugins requested that I write a plugin exactly like Folder Status, and I thought about it and decided I'd never use it m'self, and never wrote it. Months later, jf's Folder Status plugin emerged, much to some people's delight. - to each their own ya know... - no such thing as "best practice" in my opinion .
I do two things:
* Use smart collections for publishing - thus nothing that isn't publish-worthy is ever published (barring mistakes of course).
* Have criteria that are checked pre-export - so photos aren't necessarily removed from publish collections if there is something which demands pre-export attention, but won't be published until such attention is given.
Lotsa ways to work...
Sorry if I "over-saturated" you with my ideas - please forgive...
UPDATE:
=======
John Beardy's smart "workflow" collections (adapted) may be just what you need - but they can't be used on a folder-by-folder basis (thanks to Adobe removing the feature which allows smart collections to function as folder filters). So if you really want to select a folder and work on it, then go to the next folder, and work on it... then consider doing something similar conceptually, but using library filters instead.
=======
Cheers,
Rob

  • How to get trash folder in finder?

    How to get trash folder in finder?

    Hello Neil,
    Here's a challenging adjunct to the physical location of trash question above.  I moved home folder of my login to a different partition (data only) which all worked fine.  Then I trashed the original home folder which was on the Boot OSX partition (just to be tidy as it was not needed any longer) now the MBA says "cannot logon to this user for the time being".  So I clearly need to return the original home directory back from trash to my logon folder (eve though it is not really used).
    However, how can I access my original logon user directory in trash when I am unable to logon?  Logged on to the root directory and using your go to folder solution above I have found the trash for root but I am unable to find the trash for my actual logon (which contains the trashed home directory)!
    Any thoughts sir?  Thanks for your help.

  • How to create a folder with date each day?

    I've not used Automator, just once to "create" a workflow to create a new folder with a name; but what I want is this:
    Each morning at 12:01 am, a new folder to be created with the correct date as the name of the folder.
    So for tomorrow, Sunday 23 Nov 2008 at 12:01, I'd suddenly have a folder on my Hard Drive that would have the date like 23 Nov 2008 or 11/23/2008 or 23-11-2008 or similar.
    Then at the end of a week I'd have 7 of these; - but I can manually trash them-- I want to create these on my HD since I backup via SuperDuper! each morning (automatically) at 3:35 am (incremental backup to an external La Cie HD) and I want to know if was done, so by having a folder with the date on it I can open the external HD and if I see that that folder with the recent date is there, then I'm confident the BackUp was run.
    I have been able to create a workflow to create a folder in Automator, but not sure how to:
    1. Have the folder created automatically each day at 12:01
    2. How to have the folder label be the date
    Thanks for any comments or certainly any other work-around or other way to do this or similar.
    Regards, Steve

    Open the AppleScript Editor. Copy the following into it:
    set dt to date string of (current date)
    set mth to word 2 of dt
    set dy to word 3 of dt
    set yr to word 4 of dt
    set dtt to mth & " " & dy & " " & yr
    tell application "Finder"
    make new folder at alias "Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
    end tell
    Amend the path with your Hard Disk name and username. Save as an application to anywhere suitable.
    In iCal, set up an event with a daily repeat and an alarm at the time you want it: under 'Alarm' choose 'Open file': then in the next menu which will appear change from 'iCal' to 'Other' and navigate to your script. Enter the date and time.
    Your folder will be created as required: iCal does not need to be running. This script gives the folder name as, for example, 'November 22 2008', but it's easy to amend the script if you want something a bit different - for example:
    property zro : ""
    set yr to year of (current date) as string
    set dy to day of (current date)
    set mt to month of (current date)
    set dyy to dy as string
    set nmm to the number of items in dyy
    if nmm is 1 then
    set zro to 0
    end if
    if mt is January then
    set mth to "01"
    else if mt is February then
    set mth to "02"
    else if mt is March then
    set mth to "03"
    else if mt is April then
    set mth to "04"
    else if mt is May then
    set mth to "05"
    else if mt is June then
    set mth to "06"
    else if mt is July then
    set mth to "07"
    else if mt is August then
    set mth to "08"
    else if mt is September then
    set mth to "09"
    else if mt is October then
    set mth to "10"
    else if mt is November then
    set mth to "11"
    else if mt is December then
    set mth to "12"
    end if
    set dtt to mth & "-" & zro & dy & "-" & yr as string
    tell application "Finder"
    make new folder at alias "iBook HD:Users:roger:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
    end tell
    This gives the folder name as, for example, 11-22-2008. (The days will have leading zeros, if you don't want these just remove the references to 'zro'.)
