I used to have a smartlist rule that would result in images that only contained one person by name.  It was a quick way to see solo portrait images.  It excluded all images that contained more than one person and kept only those that contained the target name as a value for [People].  It doesn't work now with the new SmartList and I cannot figure out how to make the new Smartlist tool duplicate that function.  Can anyone help?

I'm curious to know what smartlist rule you used to single out solo photos, any chance you could post it here?

It's also interesting that you bring this old problem up here, now, as I arrived at the following solution yesterday:

Looking for photos of a certain person alone, rather than part of a group photo?

create an expression based pane to the left of a standard [people] pane using the expression if(isequal([people],;,8),Group,Individual)

Select 'Individual' in your new pane, and the [people] pane will show a list of people. Selecting one will show photos of that person on their own.
So simple, so effective, so try it!!

As to quite why it took until yesterday for the penny to drop, I've no idea at all!!

If you'd rather use it in, say, step 4 of a viewscheme setup, or as a rule in a search list pane, you would enter it like so:
-[people]=[] [=isequal([people],;,8)]=0
which also works as intended.
