See who favorited what

Updated 16 Oct 2026

Open the gallery and choose Activity → Favorites. Downloads and Visitors have separate tabs. Favorites has two views.

By person

Everyone who favorited: their email, when they last picked, and how many photos they chose. Named lists show as tags under the person. A list they formally sent you is marked SENT.

Favorites stay in compact text rows, with the person, last-picked date, photo count, and a View photos button. Choose View photos beside a person to open their selection in a popup. Photo previews load only after you open it, initially showing up to 12 files; use Show more photos for the rest. Mixed photo/video selections use View files. Click a thumbnail or filename for a larger preview with previous and next arrows; the keyboard’s left and right arrows work too. Close it or press Escape to return to the selection, then close the selection to return to Activity. Favorite videos include an Open Photos to play this video link.

Copy filenames puts their picks on the clipboard, ready for culling or an album layout.

By photo

Every favorited photo ranked by how many people picked it, with a count on each and the names underneath. This is the view for album and print decisions, because it shows what the room agreed on.

By photo is a text list of filenames and who picked them. Click a filename or View photo to load its preview. No thumbnails load just from switching to this view.

Export

Export CSV gives one row per person per photo, which is what a lab or an album designer can work from.

“Unknown visitor”

Favorites made before email prompts existed may show as “Unknown visitor” with a short id. Those are real picks from people who were never asked for an email. They stay visible rather than being hidden.
