Saved Searches: Wow what a great feature... brilliant. I love it. I have a couple of comments:
1. I think it would be easier to find and usable if you had the "Saved Searches" top level folder visible by default with a + or add button beside it. At the very least, the right click on saved searches should show "new search" dropdown. That is the only place it seems that it doesn't do it currently. 2. I can't help but think that they are akin to smart playlists in music collection apps such as banshee. On that train of thought... Yes, we now have dynamic/smart playlist equivalents via "Saved Searches". Yes, we have static playlist equivalents via - "events"... but this is only the primary organization structure. - "flagged" list... but this is only one list and gets overwritten, so it's temporary. How about static playlist equivalents that are arbitrary in nature... Collections/Slideshows/Stacks? I have a use case in mind already. Every year, I put together a best of the year or yearbook type collection manually. I hand pick these photos, so this is not easily doable with a dynamic search. I think these static collections are a bit different than tags btw, as tags typically (and will hopefully soon) represent a hierarchy and are part of the metadata. These collections would never be written out to the file in metadata. Keep up the very solid work gents. I am truly amazed at how far this app has come in such a short time. No worries if you have thought of these points already and are secretly planning to implement later. ;-) Cheers.
