Rating Stacks (Folders)

Feature Request

I’m sometimes shooting many stacks of the same subject (with different settings, or when I feel the subject has slightly moved, or when I do comparisons).

After the AutoStack, I have quite a few folders, and it would be great if I could rate the folders somehow to understand which stack I liked best. Ideally (but not necessarily) a button (or menu item, or whatever) to delete the rejected folders - or the ones with the lowest rating would be even more amazing.

    @Wolf Amri That’s a great idea! Let me think about a good UI for that. The first that comes to mind is a simple right-click on the folder which lets you do the ratings, and then maybe the folder name it shows, like “zygaena (35) - 4⭐” ? Or we could show ⭐⭐⭐⭐, which just uses up more space.

      I think if the star is yellow and the number is yellow too, then it should work well. I just experimented a bit.

        Hah, thank you for the mockup!! The yellow star also indicates that that folder is a FAVORITE, so I’d need to think through that aspect as well, since it may be confusing to have two different meanings for that.

          I just remembered that After Effects has a row of buttons at the bottom that let you display more or fewer settings (they really have a lot).

          I think you were talking about not wanting to use up too much screen real estate. That would be a possible solution - see the symbols at the bottom left. They let you choose what you want to see.

          That way, you could display whether a folder has files in it that were already saved, and also the rating - perhaps a number alone in a different color than the yellow favorite star would help.
