That’s a very precise request 🙂 It would be difficult to add such a filter, if I do so then I virtually I would need to add a lot more filters to please everyone. The most commons would be the keywords, but also dates, could be city, direction, GPS, etc. And because of limitation of the WordPress API, for now it can only be added in the Media Library and not in the Insert Media screen (in the editor). So I feel like this feature is not useful enough yet.
When I have some time and more users I would definitely work on adding more options for the plugin, and a page with the different filters that could be added to the UI, such as your request and others. For now it’s difficult to add, it would bloat the UI for most users and as an option it would be hanging a bit by itself 🙂 Also, it’s not so easy to add it/test it (basically, I need to work on it for a few hours).
If you develop a bit, you can have a look at this file in my plugin: lrsync_library.php. This is how I added the filter. Also, filters are not really linked to my plugin, they can be implemented by any other plugin trying to improve the Media Library, and I wouldn’t surprise if such a plugin existed already 🙂

I am trying to reply to this, but the forum tells me that it is a duplicate and I have already replied to it…

OK thank you. I was thinking of a custom filter where the user can add a custom taxonomy that is non specific. I had seen this functionality in another plugin called Media Library Assistant but this doesn’t appear to work with either my theme (Bridge) or layer slider uploads. Your filter did work for those uploads and as I’m using WP/LR sync was hoping this may be possible.
This filter is actually linked to WP/LR Sync (since it’s the collections coming from LR), that is why it’s here. Any other filter based on the EXIF or metadata can be implemented by another plugin. If I was to do this, I would actually do this in a brand new plugin to avoid surcharging WP/LR Sync and making those features available to people not using WP/LR Sync as well.
I actually had Media Library Assistant in mind 🙂 If it doesn’t work, you should tell the developer, he is extremely active on making this plugin better. I actually talk with him a few times, he is super responsive and wants to do his best so definitely he will help you.
