Rating/Flagging of single shots

Feature Request

Maybe another idea to make Macro Studio even more complete:

As it is called Macro Studio rather than Stacking Studio, you may want to make it even more useful for single-shot users by adding an option to flag or rate images.

Lightroom shortcuts for these are

P - pick

X - reject

(if pressed again, it will be removed)

1-5 star rating

1-9 color rating

    Ok, folks - I went with Ratings only for now, for a few reasons:

    1. I wanted to keep the UI clean and simple

    2. Ratings are portable - there is a standard way to store them that all well-behaved editing apps can read/write. That’s not the case for flags, e.g. flags in LrC stay in LrC.

    3. Ratings can be reasonably used LIKE flags, e.g. “1 for reject, 5 for Pick”.

    Let me know what you think. Colors would be easier to implement in a cross-editor compatible way. I’m not opposed to adding Colors or Flags later if it becomes really important to you all!

    In the end MacroStudio will be like Lightroom, enhanced by a superb stacking functionality. Sorry, just joking 🤣.

        Hah! That will take a bit longer to develop! But yes, I too have wanted better asset management features like this, so I do plan to implement ratings and flags. I do my single-shot editing in Macro Studio now as well, actually. I’m not enough of a Lightroom power users to miss the things that aren’t present in MS (but I do want to hear from people who are). It’s a balance, but I’d love to have all of the features that ~80% of non-professional users need, while keeping it as simple as possible!
