How to make sure two tag fields are identical
« on: January 09, 2010, 09:41:34 pm »

Hello,

I have a smartlist called "To Process" for images.

Any images that are not tagged with artist and author, have an incorrect filename, or are missing keywords show up in this smartlist.

I re-name all of my photos by the date(filename friendly) field.


Is there a way in a smartlist to say "if [filename (name)] does not equal [date(filename friendly)], include it in the list" ?  all I can get is to have [filename (name)] a specific file name.

Go to Tools > Options... > Library & Folders > Manage Library Fields...

In the new window click "Add New Field" and enter a name for the tag. I'll use "Sync: Photo Name". Click the Calculated data button and enter the following in the Expression field

Code: [Select]
If(IsEqual(RemoveRight([filename (name)], 4), [date (filename friendly)], 1),Yes,No)
press "OK" to close the Manage Library Fields window and the options window.

Create your smartlist or view and make sure you have "Sync: Photo Name" is No.

Oh my!  I never would have thought to create a new field. That's fantastic, thank you!
