Sync favorites back to Lightroom

I'd like to be able to sync my client's "favorites" back to my Lightroom Library. Ideally, I could open Lightroom, ask it to go retrieve the "favorites" gallery for a specific event, and Lightroom would search and find those file names in the Library and put them in a separate Collection. That way, my clients can select their faves from the proofs, and I can easily get to work on them in Lightroom.

        This feature is already part of the Lightroom plugin. I believe you only have to sync your entire folder structure.

        As Dan said, this feature would speed up workflow considerably.

        Yes, please. I'd like to be able to sychronize a lightroom gallery in the same way you can sychronize a folder in Lightroom 3.

        This is so necessary, please let smugmug in lightroom update back the favorites, its so imperative.

        Please take this one step further and allow the option to generate a list of original file names from favorites. This way users of other software (Aperture, Breeze Browser, etc.) can use the text list of file names to do their culling. In other words, don't restrict it to just Lightroom. Thanks.
