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.

  • 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 Collection for images with Paths?

    I'd like a folder that automatically collects any image i have in my library in which i've drawn a vector clipping path in Photoshop. Is this possible?

    I couldn't figure that out.
    I was hoping the file would contain a metadata call that said "Path: yes" or something like that on which I could set up the smart collection but I couldn't find one either in Lightroom or Finder.
    It's possible this piece of metadata doesn't exist, and if so I'll solve my problem with keywords, but I wanted to ask before i assumed.

  • 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

  • FM import into RH project creates a separate folder for every FM chapter

    I am importing a FM book into RH 9 to create a new help project.   RH creates a separate folder for every FM chapter!  The folder contains the html and CSS.  This is messy and useless since all html will point to a single help CSS for the project.  It will be tedious to move all the html topics to one folder plus I will lose the FM link for future updates.
    Did I miss a step in the import that controls how the project is created in RH?

    Yes, this is deliberate - in fact most people want to sub-divide their .fm files into even finer topics - that's what the pagination setting in the Conversion Settings screen is for. Why do you want them all to be mashed together anyway?
    I've only heard of one other poster wanting to stuff all their FM content into one folder - try searching the forums. I seem to remember there were a bunch of suggestions to things to do from either the FM end of things or the RH side.
    The reason why Adobe did it this way was to give you individual control over the CSS to be applied to individual topics (even if most of us just apply a common one across the board in the SSL recipe when we create our help).

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I create a new Folder for each test report based on Serial number?

    I want to be able to create a new folder for each test report based on serial number. Each time a UUT is tested, I want the report to go to the appropriate folder. What is the best way to do this?
    Thanks

    Hello Tman,
    This is a slightly tricky question. The reason being, the report options like the report path etc, are set before you see the serial number prompt when you run your UUT. There might be other ways of getting around this, but a quick solution would be modifying the process model.
    I modified the PreUUT callback to set the report options. I passed the reportOptions as a parameter to this sequence. In the PreUUT sequence, I set the following fields:
    Parameters.ReportOptions.GeneratePath=False
    Parameters.ReportOptions.ReportFilePath= "c:\\"+ Locals.SerialNumber +"\\report.xml"
    I hope this would give you an idea.

  • Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to...

    Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to play one after the other on your iPod? I want to combine podcasts of the same topic in a smart playlist. When I tried to do this I chose smart playlist, album starts with, and then did it again for each podcast I wanted. That didn't work. If it can be done how do you do it?
    I have a fifth generation iPod which is always updated to the latest as well as the itunes.

    Say for example I want to put different car related podcasts in one smart playlist. Car related podcasts such as Wall Street Journal Car Cast and NPR Car Talk. Can it be done and if so how?
