Have a look at the Votes list: Feature requests - DxO Forums
#1 is " Digital Asset Management in PhotoLab" with 21 votes
Two topics from the initial post are delivered:
- Fast searching by core metadata attributes
- Maybe a grid and compare view for photos
Also I asked for being able to filter e. g. by ISO or lens. While this is not fully working (see New search feature in PhotoLab 2) it is a step in the right direction.
So I am disappointed with the content of the major release, too, and I am free to decide not to buy and keep my existing version which fits my needs.
But I think it is unfair to say that DxO doesn’t listen. Also the DCP profile feature was requested, I found a couple of forum entries from 2017 complaining about missing support for color targets.
