Status of metadata in smart collections

• Selection of photos by smart status overview, metadata changed, etc.

  I want to be able to select the photos inside Lightroom based on criteria including the debt program but don't let not select you, for instance without previews images, smart shots that have had their metadata changed outwardly, etc..  The system knows what images they are but don't let not consider you a set or act upon them as a whole (building previews smart, AFAIK requires a manual selection in a universal operation or a set catalogue up-to-date, you cannot select only those without intelligent insights).  Because the system keeps track of the State, it would be nice if you could choose this status to view or act upon them as a set.  If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate it.

  You must look smart Collections. Two of these examples are available in the smart collection criteria.

• 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.

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

  

  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? These latest imports?

  Is there a way to create a smart collection to see all the photos imported in the last, say, 1 or 2 days? It seems that the date is available as a field in the metadata, but I don't see how to use it in a smart collection. I want to work with all the photos that have been imported from several SD cards at the same time.

  I was afraid of that... but I've found a workaround. I created a new standard collection called recent imports and the value of import to automatically add dialog of the photos in this collection. I just need to remember to clear the collection at the right time.

• Restrict a smart collection

  I have a search that pulls the two members of a family. I do a search for a member of the family. I have the key words being uniform #-name. I put that I'm looking for, but am coming up with two members of the family. Adding to the challenge is we got the number 20, one I'm eager. But the other has #2 as their uniform number. Any thoughts on how to restrict this search?

  TIA.

  Hi jim,

  If you create a smart collection for this search, you must specify the rule as: corresponding to all "" other metadata > keywords > contains the words > first name last name ".

  Or, if you're looking for this image with the specific keyword through filter, then turn on the filter bar, by going to the view menu

  and follow the instructions below:

  1. Select the metadata in the filter bar

  2 choose the keyword in the first menu drop-down

  

  3. Select the desired keyword in this list of keywords and which must display the refined result.

  Kind regards

• Smart collections missing items

  It spoke of the General discussion of the PS Re: bridge CC of smart collections missing

  I use Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) with PS/bridge CC. The fundamental problem is that, when I deleted my cache all the elements in smart collections 6 disappeared.

  > I'm willing to spend the time and effort to go back in each folder and add new keywords or sides or something, but not if I can't be comfortable that it won't happen. >

  No, you really shouldn't have to do. The keywords of your choice are part of the metadata for each file. You already said as well that your files are intact, as it should, so there is no reason to add more keywords or ratings or whatever it is, because the bridge will search the metadata. He doesn't worry when it was added, so being new will not help.

  Something seems to be corrupted. That bridge could not find a single keyword, that you know is in the metadata says that something is wrong, probably with bridge itself. Have you tried to bridge by pressing Cmd-Opt-Shift while clicking on the launch icon? Then reset the preferences? That could clear up this very strange behavior. Obviously, something went very wrong with the purge. Usually, I find just that it doesn't work, often freezes Bridge and I wrap manually delete the files cached, but I've never had it do nothing my smart Collections. However, if it damaged something along the way, which can only have done so.

  If this does not work, we can talk if you want to try to uninstall/reinstall the deck or if you just want this degrades to staff, if no one else jumps quickly here in the answer to this mystery.

• don't Smart collections no more filters by keywords.  How to fix?

  When I create a smart collection, I have more to make a criteria for selection of the keywords.  Is it possible to turn that back on or reactivate that?

  It is not in "other metadata?

• Smart collection drop-down does not keywords

  I must have got this right once, because I have a smart collection whose only condition is a key word, which is at the top of the drop down to this collection.  Similarly, there is a collection of default Smart that LR must have created, called "without the keywords" and that one of the conditions is that keywords are empty.  However, whenever I try to create a new collection of smart, the criteria drop-down begins with side, followed by pick flag, color of the label, the label text, down to the final criteria, 'any searchable text' I understand unlike keywords, because there is a criterion called keywords.  It is true of attempts to change existing smart collections.  Where's my criterion by keywords?

  If you click on the drop down sides first or that you have the display you will see that the criteria were grouped into LR5. You will find keywords by selecting:

  Other metadata > keywords

• To find virtual Copies to smart Collections

  Is it possible to find virtual copies in collections smart without use "name of the copy is not empty? Basically, I'm using the name of the copy as a version number for all images, including the base image which is the original. But what makes it so difficult to find the actual copies themselves. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  I'll see if a smart collection can work to a saved filter, which allows to correctly identify the real VCs.

  Don't know what that means, but if you want "Virtual copy is" metadata available for (native standard Lr) smart collections, it is available through

  Metadata extensions

  The only downside is that the metadata are not updated immediately, if you need to 'manage' the update of metadata and/or expectations.

  Funny - I just came across the need for this last night - I solved it by ensuring that all virtual copy names are distinguishable master copy names, yet: because of the text metadata from Lightroom treatment of gaps (e.g., space management and bug "Big mallards"), it is really better to have a yes / no rule.

  See you soon,.

• Can LR5 always create a Smart Collection or published a smart folder based on keywords?

  I have a smart Collection based on keywords imported LR4, but when you create a new Smart Collection or a published smart folder, the choice of "Key words" is missing from the context menu rules!

  Is this a bug?

  I am trying to create a smart folder that is published, but this question caught me.

  I think you can still do. If I correctly get what you're after: begin the process of creating the smart collection and when you see the settings dropdown to choose to create your collection, do scroll down to "Other metadata" click on it and you will see "Key words" it. I hope this helps

• Smart Collections - how to test if legend or title is empty?

  I am using the smart collections to detect what I consider mistakes in my flickr of editing for things like the author not defined status, lack of information location, creator and others by using the operator '_FITTED    I am now configuring some collections in "warnings" to check if I've set up a title and a legend and could not see a way to test if these fields are blank, as the 'is' and 'is not' test operators seem not to be available for these fields as it is for others - fields such as country, State Creator etc.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Alan.

  PS - Adobe... I appreciate an operator "is" is not reasonable for a free text field, but I suggest an operator "is empty" would make sense and be useful in this scenario.

  LR3 has options for Caption "is empty."

  See screenshot to see how to manage the title is empty

  

• "Birthdays" Smart Collection (based on day/month but NOT the year)

  Hello.

  I came across a problem when trying to make some organizes on my photos...

  Is it possible to create a Smart Collection with "Date is" + "in the range" then use day/month only and excludes the year?

  Or just a simple "Date is" + "date specific minimum year '.

  What I'm trying to do, is to create a smart album that has pictures of all my children on/autour. of their birthdays. The eldest is 14 years old and I have four children, manual adding of all dates and keep them up to date in a year is - while it is certainly doable - a little pain there.

  Is there a way to do this with Lightroom?

  The only way to create a smart collection for this is to manually add each year the criteria smart collection.

  A simpler way is to use the John R. Ellis AnyFilter plug-in.

• Photoshop retouching in smart collections

  Hello

  Usually I edit my photos in a folder (in lightroom, of course), I thought I would create a smart collection first this time to sort the pictures a little better.

  I use Ctrl + E to edit a photo in Photoshop. I do my necessary edits, save and return to lightroom. But the picture in the smart collection is still the original. If I go into the folder where the pictures are, the Assembly is stacked with the original Photo. It has (because it seems to me) the same tags and markings of color as the original photo. I tried to change the order of the stack, but it's no help.

  I tried splitting the battery, but the smart collection only reacts to the evolution of the original photo.

  What happens here?

  If the new file IS NOT satisfied the criteria for the Smart Collection, it will not be displayed in the Smart Collection.  For example, if you have a Smart Collection that is "file type is RAW" and do a "Edit in Photoshop" a RAW Collection Smart the edited file is that NOT a RAW file so it will not be displayed in the Smart Collection.   What are your Smart Collection criteria.

• Using Smart Gallery to reflect a Smart Collection?

  I would like to create a smart Gallery based on criteria (pick flag, label color, category) so that my best images will automatically enter in this collection "my best Images.

  I then create a smart Gallery in Zenfolio reflecting this collection?

  I tried to create a smart Gallery whose criteria is simply "Source contains all of the words"my best Images", but that doesn't seem to work. He produced images of 0.

  Any help would be appreciated!
