Create a Smart Folder with Red or Green labels.

Hi,
I want to create a smart folder with either Red or Yellow label, I tried the "option"-"+" to add ANY condition when creating my smart folder, but seem smart folder still only try to search only one type of label depend on the position of my "ANY" condition.
From the Get Info, I can see the raw query seem to be correct:
(true) && ((((kMDItemFSLabel = 6) || (kMDItemFSLabel = 2))))
Is it a bug in the smart folder?
Thanks
Kit

figured it out. Hold the "option" key while hitting the "+" for a new criteria.

  • Creating a smart folder with Terminal?

    What I'm trying to do might not be possible, which wouldn't surprise me at all. What I'd like to do is one of the following:
    1. Create a smart folder that contains everything in the "/" folder.
    2. Create a smart folder that is populated with every volume currently mounted on my Mac.
    Essentially what I'm hoping to do is create a smart folder I can then use as a stack that would contain all the volumes currently located on my Mac. The only solution I've found so far for this is to use the /Volumes/ folder but this doesn't suit my needs as occasionally I get double icons for drives (1 being the alias the second being a private folder). Also it fails aesthetically which is part of the reason I'm doing this in the first place.
    If anyone could recommend a solution that'd be great. I figured Terminal was my best bet, unfortunately my knowledge of this form of coding is non-existent and no amount of Google searches could help me.

    I don't see how either item on your wish list can be satisfied by any of this "smart" stuff. The smart searches/folders are based on queries against the same metadata used by Spotlight - and that doesn't even look at / or /Volumes. Even if the info were available, is it up-to-the-minute enough to really be usable?
    If you want to examine the built-in searches as a guide, you'll find them in:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/CannedSearches
    Note that each of the items therein is a package, so you'll have to drill a bit deeper to get to the query file. I found that Property List Editor from XTools was a good way to get a structured view of them.

  • Create Smart Folder with Applescript?

    Hi
    Is there a way to create a Smart Folder with Applescript?
    many thanks
    LJ

    thanks neil.
    one other question. once i've made this folder i'll want to use it.
    it occurs to me that i might not be able to use the same code to
    call the folder after it's been created since, while the date may
    be the same, the time won't be.
    how do i stored the new folder name as it's being created so that
    i can call it later in the script?
    thanks again,

  • Sync a Smart Folder with it's contents to .mac?

    Hi There,
    I use Mail with a few smart folders to organise things.... not a power user by any means.
    Here is a problem i'd love to find a solution for.
    I subscribe to feeds in Mail.app on my main mac at work, during the day i'll flag the ones which i'd like to read further. I use a Smart mailbox to show me only flagged RSS. now, what i'd like to happen is for that Smart mailbox to sync with my .mac account somehow, so when i get home i can read the feeds at leisure...
    Any Ideas?
    I do know i could use a different app for my feeds, or google reader, but i like keeping things in one place as much as possible..

    OK. Today, i finally found half a solution. . .
    pretty simple. but works for now- unfortunately I have to manually sync...
    so-
    I created a smart folder with all flagged feeds in Mail.app
    I wanted to view my flagged feeds on my other macs
    I didn't want to use yet another piece of software, or web based app.
    My simple solution is - keep a folder on my me.com server named RSS...
    Now, go to your smart folder, drag and drop all the flagged feeds to your me.com folder.
    head home, read feeds, unflag, or better delete when done...
    now, can anyone tell me how to create a rule or some-such to make the moving of flagged feeds to my me.com account automatic?
    Rules don't seem to have "flagged" only as an option.
    thanks thanks thanks!

  • How to create a smart folder that only selects from a specific directory?

    I am trying to create a smart folder that lists all my iPhoto original content in the last few months. I want this so that my wife can connect into the smart folder over the LAN when copying specific photos to her PC.
    I am have trouble working out how to restrict the search to only those files that exists in the iPhoto directory. When I look at info for a photo is states "Where: /Users/Shared/iPhoto Library/iPhoto Library/Data/2009/....etc etc".
    However if I add an filter for "Where from" begins with "/Users/Shared/... etc etc" it returns nothing. Is there a way to do this?

    Find the iPhoto library file.
    Right click -> Show package contents.
    Double click the Originals folder.
    Type anything in the Search box at the top of the Finder window.
    In the top of the Finder window, click "Originals".
    Click the + (plus) sign next to Save.
    Select Kind is Image.
    Click the + (plus) sign again.
    Select *Created date* is *within last 3 months* (or whatever you want).
    Go to the search box and delete what you typed. Don't hit the X to delete the search text.
    Now save the smart search.
    This is saved in ~\Library\Saved searches. Copy or move it to the desktop where your wife can get access to it.

  • How do I create a second set of red yellow green buttons for right handers

    I've moved over from using a PC for years and still use one at work - so I've grown used to using my mouse for everything.
    So, being right handed - I'm wondering how I can move or better yet create a second set of red yellow green buttons at the top right of each screen. It's a pain having to scroll from one corner to the other all the time.

    Welcome to the forums Chiliad. It's rare that a question like yours is answered "you can't do that" but I've never heard of someone wanting to do this. OS X is robustly customizable right out of the box with its many different ways of accomplishing identical tasks, but I suspect the locations of these buttons is somewhat of an Apple trademark and rooted deep in OS X code. I would avoid trying to hack the system to change their location lest such a change cause a future OS X update to break.
    There are many third party tools available to customize OS X to your liking, but I can recommend without reservation just a few. Products like Tinker Tool and the utilities written by Unsanity seem to be generally useful and trouble-free.
    You can minimize a window by double-clicking anywhere in the title bar, but I find Exposé to be much more useful when managing multiple open windows. I've grown to use Apple-w to close and Apple-q to quit, but that's just me.
    Seems to me the engineers at Apple have put an enormous amount of effort into designing an effortless user interface, which in my opinion rewards the user with an experience that doesn't get "in your face" as much as Windows does. It's hard for me to imagine improving upon it much, but there are plenty of others who try!

  • If I create a smart folder in iPhoto, and then delete it, are the pictures gone?

    I am still trying to figure iPhoto out. I just created a "Smart Folder" and it imported some of my photos. I decided to delete that folder. Did that delete the pictures or are they still somewhere else in iPhoto or on my computer? Thanks!

    several issues with your question
    1 - there is no such thing as a smart folder in iPhoto
    2 - folders in iPhoto can not hold photos and it is not possile to import photos into them
    3 - there are smart albums - deleting a smart album has no effect on the photos - the "contents" of the smart album are simply pointers to the photos in your library that meet the criteria - deleting the album has no effect on the photos themselves
    4 - as the contents of a smart album is the photos that meets the criteria it is no possible to import photo into a smart album
    5 - it is helpful to know what version of iPhoto you have
    So please ask with correct terms since we can not see you or your computer and can only help based on wha tyou tell us

  • Create a Smart Folder for Movies without Video Podcasts in it

    I'm trying to create a smart folder of just movies and not video podcasts. I have tried all different ways, but since you can't make a Kind "is not" something, it is posing a problem. I have tried holding down the option key and clicking the plus button, but that doesn't seem to help either. So with that, does any one have any suggestions?

    Currently there's no way to batch find images without keywords assigned. Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

  • Can I create a smart folder in mobileme

    In Aperture3 ~  Is it possible to create a smart folder in Mobile Me so that my gallery in MobileMe will be updated automatically.

    If you mean a separate folder on your TM backup drive, then the answer is, "Yes." TM will not disturb it. However, if your plan is to store items on the TM backup drive then a preferable method is to partition the backup drive:
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Be sure you provide sufficient space in the TM partition. It should be at least twice the size of the drive it is backing up. If it isn't large enough for both TM and your storage needs, then you should get a bigger drive or another drive.

  • Smart folder with logical "or" rather than "and"?

    Is it possible to create a smart folder that uses the logical "OR" rather than "AND" to determine the contents? For example, is it possible to create a smart folder that contains all files ending in ".tiff", ".pict", or ".png"?

    figured it out. Hold the "option" key while hitting the "+" for a new criteria.

  • Create a smart folder for images imported "TODAY"

    Is it possible to create a smart folder for images imported today? The only close option I have been able to find is by selecting the "import session" option, but that forces me to select from a series of sessions that have already been imported. I'd like to be able to have a single folder, day after day of what I imported today almost like the iPhoto "last roll" folder. Possible?

    There is a Filter Rule "Import Session" but as implemented (as you discovered) it isn't easy to use.
    What I do is:
    . add "Import Session" to the "List -- Expanded View" Metadata Overlay
    . click "Photos"
    . change to List
    . change to Expanded Overlay if needed
    . click the column header "Import Session" (note that this adds "Import Session" to the sort drop-down)
    . change back to Grid view as needed
    I use this to confirm imports, and to find any that I mis-placed.
    HTH.

  • Smart folder with multiple keywords?

    Is it possible to set up a smart folder to filter on more than one keyword assigned to an image? I'd like to set up a smart folder that will find images that have 2 specific keywords. I've searched, and wrestled with it every which way, but haven't landed on the solution.
    For example:
    Img_001 has keywords of "Animal" and "Vegetable"
    Img_002 has keywords of "Animal", "Vegetable" and "Mineral"
    Img_003 has keywords of "Animal" and "Mineral"
    Img_004 has keywords of "Vegetable" and "Mineral"
    I'd like my "Animal and Vegitable" smart folder to find Img_001, and Img_002 only.
    Thanks for any ideas,
    Guy

    Guy,
    Yes, you can do that. You would enter these criteria:
    "Keyword is Animal." +
    "Keyword is Vegetable."
    When you enter the second condition, an additional menu appears above them. You need to set it to:
    "Match all of the following conditions."
    That will give you only photos which are tagged with both keywords.
    FYI, you can do something similar with the keywords pane. In Preferences, Keywords, you can set iPhoto to filter based on any keyword or based on all keywords. With it set to match all keywords when filtering, clicking on your "Animal" and "Vegetable" keywords will give you only photos which contain both. The cool thing about this method is that you can Option-click a keyword to exclude it from the filter. So if you didn't want photos containing "Animal," "Vegetable," and "Protozoa," you could exclude "Protozoa" from the filter. Of course, this is done in real time, and doesn't create a self-updating Smart Album. But it's a fun trick for seeing what you have very quickly.
    Regards

  • How can I create a smart folder that only searches one event?

    Is it possible to create a smart album but have it not search my entire library, but only a certain event?
    I have created a smart album to find unnamed faces, but I have many old pictures in my library with strangers in them so the smart album ends up quite large. If I could apply the rules of the smart album to only one event at a time I could find the photos i need with no faces recognized in them easier right after I import them.
    Or conversely, is there a fast way to delete all the unnamed faces boxes for all my pictures with strangers in them- there must be a faster way than going through and clicking the 'X' on each individual face.
    Thanks!

    Make the criteria: Event Contains XXXXXXX and Faces is unnamed.  That will search only that Event.
