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

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Create folder with multiple files (was: folders)

    Can you create a folder with multiple files and direct the page to go to the folder and then the reader can select the file they wish to choose?  Example  Council Mintes Folder with a file for each set of minutes.  The hyperlink would open the folder and then the reader would select whch set of minutes they'd like to see.

    You may not have access to it depending on your hosting company and  plan, but if you did have the ability to change it you'd normally do it in the admin area of your hosting account which would update the proper files on your server.
    You may also be able to do it manually, but the "how to" depends on the server type you are running.
    EDIT: I'd still suggest using a server script (like the PHP I linked to) because the look of a directory with browsing turned on is pretty ugly and can't be changes since it's not a page on your site. With the PHP I linked to, you could have an actual page for your links, complete with your site's design, that simply lists the files from the specified directory. It's very simple to set up if you have PHP on your server.

  • 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!

  • For some reason, my compression option is grayed out under "File" menu, and when I select a folder with multiple files, or multiple documents, and try to right-click or tap the mousepad with two fingers, I do not get a "compress" option available. Help.

    I don't know why, but when I select a folder with multiple docs contained within it, or multiple files, the Compress option is grayed out under the File menu, nor is it available when I right-click. Please help.

    Yes it is, but I have the same problem of the option does not appear with "right click" (I'm actually control-clicking), and COMPRESS is grayed out under the file menu. I'd like to fix it.
    Hmm. After finding the Archive Utility,* I tried archiving the folder. It came out as .cpgz, ugh. Found there was a preference to make .zip the default. It worked!
    And now…the menus are not grayed out. ?!?! OK.'
    Hope this helps someone.
    *You cannot find this via search, apparently it is a hidden file, you have to click from the root drive through to /System/Library/CoreServices (Thanks for the file path Alberto!)

  • FileNotFoundException with multiple keywords

    With multiple keywords 'pi_keyword=account and manager', my program generates: java.io.FileNotFoundException.......sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:702). But the url works fine in IE address box. In addition, if only single keyword
    'pi_keyword=account ', my program works no problem. Any solution? Thanks.
    The following is my program:
    URL url = new URL(str);
    URLConnection connection = (URLConnection) url.openConnection();
    connection.setDoOutput(true);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
    The fullurl is:

    I think whitespace isn't allowed in the keyword values, what do you get if you replace space with '+'?
    That is: "pi_keyword=account+and+manager" and "pi_location=British+Columbia"

  • 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.

  • Search for photos with multiple keywords

    I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to search for photos that have multiple keywords.   When selecting multiple keywords in a Bridge search the default behavior is to find photos that have any of the keywords rather than all of the keyword.  In other words I want to do an AND keyboard rather than an OR search.

    You should be able to do so in the find menu of Bridge (Edit/Find or cmd+F)
    With the plus sign you can add an extra (and) keyword to it.
    A shortcut may be to first find one keyword and then use the filter panel
    keyword section and select the other wished keywords by putting a checkmark
    in front, only the selected files will show in the content window.
    In other words I want to do an AND keyboard rather than an OR search.

  • Programming multiple smart cards with multiple smart card readers in a PC causes a PCSCException in a smart card that is in progress

    Hi,
    I develop a Java code using smartcardio API to program a smart card. My GUI allows to add at most 5 smart card readers that will wait for card present, then do authentication and program the smart card with an application, then wait for card removal. This is a separate thread running in a loop for each smart card reader added as programmer.
    The problem occurs when a certain smart card is in progress and I inserted another smart card to another smart card reader.  Both smart card reader halts and throw sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: Unknown error 0x8010002f.
    I also observed that every time there is an attempt to insert/remove a smart card in the smart card reader that is connected to the USB port would cause the programming in progress to be interrupted and throw the PCSCException.
    These are some exceptions I got during my testing:
    sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: Unknown error 0x8010002f
      at sun.security.smartcardio.PCSC.SCardTransmit(Native Method)
      at sun.security.smartcardio.ChannelImpl.doTransmit(ChannelImpl.java:171)
    java.lang.Exception: Loader Record Failed: 6E | 0 //Sometimes I got this return code SW1 0x6E SW2 0x00 which means an APDU with an invalid 'CLA' bytes was received. I had check the command before it was sent and it was correct.
    Help me understand this issue. I think the CardTerminal.isCardPresent(), CardTerminal.waitForCardPresent(0), and CardTerminal.waitForCardAbsent(0) cause this issue that CardChannel.transmit(apduCommand) is interrupted or the smart card insertion/removal causes the CardChannel.transmit(apduCommand) is interrupted.

    Hi,
    when you work with one smartcard reader only usually you address the slot -1 that means "the first found".
    But to deal with multiple readers you have to use slots of course since one reader will be slot 0, next reader will be slot 1 and so on...
    So a credential object will be identified on a system by a couple
    <slot,alias>
    After that, the way to address slots (I mean the syntax) depends on the classes you are using...

  • Can I filter clips with multiple keywords?

    Hi,
    I have ingested hundreds of video clips into Prelude CC and at some point I want to filter these using multiple keywords. Entering one keyword only is going fine but as soon as I enter a second keyword, and I reassured that there are clips containing both of them, I end up with zero results. If multiple keywords are at all possible then, how do I have to enter them, separate them? Are Boolean searches possible?
    Thank you for your response.

    Hi -
    Thanks for your interest and support for enhanced searching methods in Prelude. We're excited to bring those to you. Unfortunately we are not permitted to discuss timeframes for features still under consideration and not yet assigned to an official release. We will certainly share this information as soon as we are able.

  • Smart mailbox with multiple addresses

    It seams that creating a Smart Mailbox with "From" multiple addresses (comma separated) conditions works with INBOX emails... but the same idea does not work if it applies to SENT emails... any help?

    Hi Sanjay,
    Outlook would resolve the SMTP to Displayname if object is found in the GAL, hence no option for you to get that directly visible to the user, if he is accessing the email there.
    Quick way to find out would be checking the header info on the email
    To:  Field should essentially contain the email ID to which email was directed to.
    As an admin you can check this on the message tracking logs for the user.

  • Comparing files in a folder with those in another folder with multiple subfolders

    is there a non-terminal tool that i can buy that will do the following?:
    i want to compare the files that are nicely sorted into nested sub-folders and sub-sub folder in /one/ folder with those that are sitting - in bulk - in another folder.
    effectively i want to then /delete/ the duplicated files in the /bulk/ folder and sort the remaining files - the ones that are not dupes - in with the files that are already sorted. i don't want to delete the files that i already filed obviously and I only want to add the files that are not dupes.
    i'm dealing with pdf's in this case.
    TIA

    It does folder sync -- and there are quite a few other folder sync tools out there. But that's not what you asked.
    files that are nicely sorted into nested sub-folders and sub-sub folder […]
    sort the remaining files […] in with the files that are already sorted
    That's not folder sync'ing. I doubt you'll find an app which does that out-of-the-box.

  • Batching one format in a folder with multiple formats?

    I am wondering if it is possible to set a batch command that will only process tiff files that also have .fff's and .jpg's within the same folder.
    I have 2500 images in 125 subfolders with all three formats in each folder. I know I can batch all the sub folders, but can I specify only one type of file? Thanks.

    In Bridge, browse to the folder with your images. Search for TIF files
    and include all subfolders. Select All and then choose the Photoshop
    batch command.
    When the menu opens, under source choose Bridge (it should be selected
    by default). That's it.

  • 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.
