On longer trips with more dives than colours, I can quickly use 'lft click' then 'space + lft click' to select one section of colour, without having to look at EXIF time to split them. When I get them into Lightroom I select a colour in the folder and add a GPS possition to them all in the map module. I keep each trip in a separate folder and a weekend usually has 4 dives so I have 4 colours. The colours have no significance, I just use a different colour from the last dive so I can see the division between them easily. I do use colours simply to group pictures from each dive together. The reject button will be the main one used. The rating ability is helpful to a degree to sort the best from the worst, though I don't see me using it that much. The main need is to be able to view and assess the pictures, which it already does better than anything else on a slow computer (the underwater profile you mentioned would make this even better). I see FRV as a relatively crude (but exceedingly useful) means to sort pictures on site on a slow computer. I don't think this is practically a problem, for me at any rate, as I can't see me wanting to use the option other than in Lightroom (and rarely there!). Talking about the 'Reject' flag, not that I use Lightroom's third flag function, but if you are wanting to match Lightroom, there are actualy 3 states for the flag. What is not immediately obvious is that it also clears the reject flag (though it is easy to work out when you find the reject button does not toggle) as it appears to belong to the numbers, and an 'X' might make that more obvious. The zero button would, in my case, be used simply to do what the mouseover text already says, and that is to clear the rating, so it need not change colour itself, and could be an 'X' if you like. I suppose I might want to just select them to delete them, though in that case I would probably have already flagged them to reject.
However, I can't actually think of an occasion that I would want to create a smart collection of pictures that are so bad they rate a zero.
I must admit I am quite happy with logical expressions so that is not a problem to me.
