Locktastic is a simple plug-in for Lightroom 2/3/4/5/6 that:
- Marks read-only or “locked” files with the red label
- Selectively imports read-only files from a folder, bypassing LR’s standard import dialog
When photographers review images in the field, it’s common to “lock” those that they particularly like. This simple procedure makes it that little bit harder to delete a good shot. Some time-pressed event snappers do this locking much more systematically, “chimping” during the event and tagging pictures they particularly want to work on when they get back to their desks.
Unfortunately Lightroom won’t show which images are locked – in fact its import from camera routine removes the read-only file status (if it imports from the hard drive using “Add”, the read-only tags are preserved).
This plug-in is designed to solve those problems.
