i'm curious if anyone uses this.

i've sort of been trained not to.

maybe i need to untrain myself.

I haven't yet, but I guess I will once all my flickr stuff gets moved here. Instead of a "my own favorites" set.

I don't either, but I like GustavoG's idea. Hoping to retrieve my flickr photos soon, at least before July when my pro account expires

Yeah 23 seems a lot more flexible with this feature. The "show" dropdown on the favorites page which scopes the result seems to catch all those things:

1) favs I have marked on others
2) all things I have that have been faved by others
3) my own favorites within my stuff
4) a peculiar "everything" view (the default)

I haven't been faving my own either out of conditioning... but I could see starting to I guess, just to create that automatic "album" of favorites.

Feature Idea territory...

An interesting continuation of the feature would be to actually display a "virtual album" right along side my others named appropriately. The "favorites within my own" is a pretty obscure page to get/view as a visitor otherwise?

You could do the same with "faved by others" if you wanted... akin to the common "your favorites" sets in the fl*ckr paradigm that people exhaustively maintain manually or painlessly via Dopiaza's Set Manager?

Also. The filtering/sorting dropdown at the bottom of these favorite pages adds some other interesting nuances that were never possible easily on fl*ckr (within favorites).

Have a design project? Glance at your amassed favorites filtered to a license that is appropriate and see if good inspiration/components jump out at you?

Edit to add: one perhaps missing feature though is the ability to txt/tag search across your own favorites.
