Problem (bug?) with smart collections

Hello

I have LR (standalone) 6.1 and I want to create a smart collection to select images that are not in the collections (stardard). As I find anything better, I created a smart collection where I need the name of the collection of the image does begin with 'A', 'B', etc...

This works as long as the collection names are long of 1 Word. I'm intrigued by this behavior. Is this a bug? Is there another way to achieve what I want?

Thank you.

[It may take awhile for someone who knows the answer to read your messages.]

The operator "starts by" is buggy.  The criterion of the "Collection starts with a' will match any collection whose name contains a word that begins with"a ". For example it will not match "A big red pony", 'It's a pony of reading', 'ponies are large animals.  Adobe has acknowledged this bug four years ago in the Adobe official feedback forum: Lightroom: problems with "begins with" text filtering.  You can add your vote and review on it in the vain hope that Adobe can fix before the next ice age.

Meanwhile, to find all photos that are not in the collection, you can use these rules:

Match any of the following rules

Collection contains a, b, c,... z 1 0... 9

  • Need help with smart Collections (Lightroom 2.7)

    I'm trying to implement a smart collection to list files that are empty in the location field.  Some areas such as the legend allow you to check if the field is 'empty '.  Location does not have the option 'is empty.  What can I do to check if the slot is empty or empty?

  • Lost smart collections

    I tried to export a collection of photos on my desktop on an iMac. He said the successful exportwas so I closed the program.  The photos were not on the desktop and when I went back in lightroom that all my 'smart' collections have disappeared except for one.  It has happened, but they reappear magically at the end of 5 minutes.  This time, they have not... any suggestions!

    In Lightroom (not your operating system), browse to the file-> open the new item and select each catalog here until you find the one with smart collections.

  • Smart collection - stacked photos and keywords parents

    Hello world!

    I'm playing with smart collections and wonder there is a possibility

    -to filter photos stacked and / or the first (front) image of a stack of photo...

    -to filter a parent keyword that is not assigned itself-, it should show all the photos with the respective child of key words (but no pictures with other keywords that can contain part of the keyword parent); or more simply put - filter just how that would happen when you press on the-> arrow next to a keyword in the keyword browser

    Thanks for all the inputs.

    Unfortunately, there is no 'empty' option, but using a search the presence of vowels gets around this omission. You can configure a smart collection as shown in the attached screenshot and he must capture all of your images which have no title. There is another variant of this collection intelligent with a, e, i, o, u, y on a single line, but it was broken several times in previous versions, so I tend to not use it.

  • problem with filter smart collection

    Hello

    I know that this question could be covered widely in various forums, but I can't find what I'm looking for.

    The issue I'm having is that I used the quick Collection folder to temporarily store all the photos that I have edited for printing.  All of a sudden all the photos of this quick collection have broken links (! in the upper right corner).  I found these pictures in the real LR folder and they are fine.  How is that possible?

    instead of fixing all the links in the quick collection, I would like to use a smart collection just find all my photos edited in the original folder that has the tact in links.  However, when you filter for "adjusted photos" the smart collection keeps giving me photos with broken links, probably from my quick collection, not those of the foler.  How do I know the smart collection to search only in one folder I want?

    I hope that this logic... I can clarify if necessary.  Thank you!

    Hi, you seem to be confused about the importance of brands of exclamation noticed on the images.

    This means that the catalog as a whole has lost track of these images.

    The most likely reason is that they have been moved to another location by using the operating system or one application other than Lightroom or they are on an external hard drive where the assigned drive letter changed (a Windows problem).

    I do not understand your comment on find them in the "real" LR folder

    Images are not stored in Lightroom, either.

    The catalog contain references to the location of your pictures.

    It is these references that are spread over the images showing the exclamation points.

    If the Smart collection has been implemented correctly then it will want to include all the images that have been published for printing, but the Smart collection is SEO information found in the catalogue and so it will include images of which the catalogue has lost track of--exactly as you found it.

  • Bug in the smart Collections when change Date is today?

    2016-06-07 17_38_23-Edit Smart Collection.png

    I got home today, made changes to the three images, and then I wanted to collect these three in a smart collection. Much to my surprise, I found myself with 91 images in my Smart Collection. And I know that I have not touched Lightroom since Sunday (two days ago) because I was not home yesterday. I'm 100% sure that Auto Sync was not lit when I edited the three photos (and if it has been activated there will be an entry in the history panel, which there is not). Can anyone provide a possible explanation? Or do I have to report it as a bug?

    In addition, there is a place in the metadata Panel, indicating the date of the edition? I could not find.

    I am convinced that the only thing I did when I got home was actually to change 3 pictures. I change the metadata fields that I know, normally when I'm editing mode, I'm not back metadata to the metadata edition edition. The AnyFilter plugin is not installed. I doubt that other plugins were nothing, the only one that would be possibly enabled is exporting Jeffrey Friedl Lightroom plugin, and I understand he uploads from Flickr comments, unless make you it run using it to upload photos.

  • Smart collection of matches with only two keywords

    I've added keywords in all my photos with the names of the people in the picture.  Then, I created a smart collection with two names inside.  For example, Jessica and Ryan.  This collection then returns all the images that have Jessica or Ryan in them. I am trying to get images that contain both Jessica and Ryan, but not other names.  The only way I knew how to do it is going in the other names in the field does not contain.  It seems a lot of work when I have many other names, and must be updated every time that I add new keywords.  Is there an easier way?

    Ryan,

    Not exactly. It depends on how you define more "easy". A possible solution would be to have a keyword that is the number of people in the photo. Then, you could look for Ryan and Jessica and 2 (or two?). Not a great solution, but it works.

    If Lightroom supported some syntax such as 'only Ryan and Jessica in the population', this kind of research would be possible.

  • Photos with indicator does not show in the Smart Collection

    Hello

    I scored a few photos with the P key, and I want to show them (with the other creterias) in a smart collection. So I build a smart collection with the Pick flag is marked. But no pictures appear in my smart collection... Why?

    If I do the same thing with the rejected flag, they appear in the collection...

    Any idea? I have to check the consistency of the database or what?

    Thank you

    Screen Shot 2012-01-22 at 2.46.32 PM.png

    Yes, you have. The indicators are local non-smart Collections. Your smart collection will find only pictures that are selected in folders or other smart collections.

    This will change in the LR4, where the flags will be more local.

  • Problems (bug?) with stylesheets in CS4?

    I know a friend who publishes a magazine that had this problem and now I'm on (of course) a tight schedule. Make paragraph style sheets and all of a sudden some of the text is endangered. Control over the SS and by ensuring that the color is black, 100% dyed) manufacturing is of course fully applied to the text is not resolved the problem. My friend had a problem of update of the SS and it not to change the text that had the SS was applied correctly. I see not really a bunch of people screaming about a bug with InDesign on it, but it's the second question SS I've met since working with CS4. Someone had this problem? More likely, it would be the police which is the issue? It is a font TTF, OT not, I prefer normally.
    Suggestions of the Council would be welcome!

  • Smart collection for photos with the same capture time

    Hello

    I wish to have a smart collection for the photos I took to make HDR.

    These photos were taken of view/captured sequentially, therefore, most probably have almost the exact same time (perhaps even within the same second).

    -Is it possible to create a smart collection for these photos?

    (I know the collection could also include pictures I didn't mean to, but even when most of the potential HDR photo would be there...)

    Thank you!

    Boolis.

    A good way to make this selection for HDR/Pano is to select all the potential picture in library/grid and then use the command "Auto-pile by Capture time.  You can then place them in collections.

  • Smart collection problem - LR 5.6

    I have a smart collection of files where the metadata has changed. It helps me to ensure that the changes can be saved in files on the disc.

    Recently, I noticed that this collection has begun to show a large number of files (800 +), where the data should be stored on the disk. If I select all of these files and then save to the disk, they all disappear one by one, and then when the collection is empty they all start reappear again, until they are all back again.

    I tried to optimize my catalog, closing and reopening, etc. reboot. The criteria for the collection is where "status of metadata has been changed. The works in the collection OK for new imported files, it's just that began including a large number of false positives, which I can't get rid of.

    Lightroom 5.6 on Windows 7 x 64. Catalogue has 32 304 entries.

    Suggestions anyone?

    Lightroom can automatically write metadata in XMP. For RAW photos, these are the sidecar files. For DNG, metadata are embedded in the DNG file.

  • Status of metadata in smart collections

    Their smart collection configuration in LR4.1 to show all the images that must be saved to disk - "metadata status is not updated.

    After saving images sometimes certain images will always come back as if they were not updated.  For example, I saved a single image 6 times on this smart copllection drive, but every time after that seconds back again as if she must still be saved.

    Tried to change some develop elements to force real change, but this does not a problem either.  Any thoughts?

    With the help of 16 GB Ram, snow leopard Mac.

    After the recording of metadata (if not make a mistake), read the metadata. (there is a bug in Lightroom, and which often clears the symptoms of the problem).

  • photo iOS 10 face recognition does not not with smart battery from apple on the iPhone case 6

    Hello

    After upgrading my iPhone 6 with smart box Apple iOS 10, I tried the new feature recognition of person of photo enforcement.

    He asked me to connect the phone to the power outlet and lock the screen. I connected my case smart battery with the iPhone in to the charger and waited at least 10 minutes. IPhone person kept asking me to connect to the socket and lock screen battery icon showing that the phone is charging and the case of the battery to 100%.

    As I withdrew my iPhone from the record, plugged directly into the outlet and locked to the screen, picture began to go in my photos.

    Anyone else with the same problem?

    If there is a bug where should I report it?

    Kind regards

    It is a Bug, but I think that if you have agreed to share your Apple device status information, they already know the problem
