Description Dav 2018-07-08 08:08:46 UTC 
Hi there,

Fews days ago, I reported you that I encounter some difficulties to set author, copyright and location due to the way is designed this part of the templates in metadatas.
In this context, I use for now exiftool to process them.

I was thinking being able to find which files doesn't already have author, which files doesn't have a location, and which files doesn't already have a copyright notice from the advanced search.
But it seems that we are able to find files which match a value, and not find files which haven't a value (like image as no tag, or image has not been geolocalized).
Do you think you could add this feature in a next release?
Many thanks for your job!

Tested with 7.5.0 in advanced search. We have now these options:

- "Caption, Comment, Title/Empty Text" section ==> return item without text in : Creator | Caption | Author | Headline | Title.
- "Geographic position/Item has no GPS info" section ==> return not geo-located.

Sounds like this fill the wishes from this file. Closed
