Locktastic - Find read-only files

Author: John Beardsworth

Locktastic is a simple plug-in for Lightroom 2 or later that marks read-only files with the red label. Its purpose is to help photographers who "lock" certain pictures in the camera, making it that little bit harder to delete a good shot. Some do this much more extensively to identify pictures they particularly want to work on when they get back to their desks. This plug-in helps identify those images once they're in Lightroom.

  1. Get the photos onto your hard drive using something like PhotoMechanic, ImageIngester, or Explorer - not Lightroom because it removes the read-only status
  2. Import the pictures from the hard drive into Lightroom
  3. Select them
  4. Run the menu command "Library > Plug-In Extras > Locktastic > Label read-only files".
  5. The plug-in tests if the file is read-only and changes its label to red.

Filtering

After Locktastic has finished checking the pictures, it can also filter them so that only the read-only files are shown. This is optional, and the preference is set in File > Plug-In Manager.
