Why Can't I Share Smart Albums

I can share normal Albums fine. 

I have a Smart album of 4* images which I'd like to share with a collaborator. Cap23 dones'nt support live sharing of smart albums.

Instead I have to create a second "manual" album. also called 4* which I have to update manually.

Is there any technical reason why Smart folders can't be shared in a future release?

  Hi alasdair Mckenzie, 
  
  

  There is indeed a technical reason for smart folders not being supported with Capture One Live. In short, smart albums are not really containers like other albums, they are closer to a search result, or a filter.

  The way we built Capture One Live does not support sharing this kind of element, and it would take a very huge time investment to refactor the whole service to do so. 

  I would not expect changes to that limitation anytime soon unfortunately. But we have this workflow very clearly identified, so if we can find a workaround we will.

  Hey alasdair Mckenzie, as you already mentioned, this is not currently possible. Consider writing a feature request post in the Improve Capture One topic!
