Ronald, Please, add the helper tips from the user mailing list to work around the feature with advanced search tool. This will help students to code this feature in the future. Thanks in advance. Gilles Caulier The following comment was made to the list in response to my query, by sknahT: * Search tab > advanced search > reset (to make sure we start fresh * At the top right: Options: "None of these conditions are met" * caption, comment, title > catption: e * add search group * click on OR to become AND * "None of these conditions are met" * title: e * ok Then you can save the search and select that saved search each time... This assumes that all actual captions or title contain the letter E. Very few words in English do not have the letter E (you can google for the list). I have successfully used this technique to screen out most photos with captions containing text. I assume the reverse can be done by performing the same search but asking that the conditions be met. In Aperture it is possible to search on captions or similar IPTC data fields that are empty/not empty as well as those containing text; it would be very useful to have these as choices, either under advanced search or (preferably) simply as tick boxes on the main filters screen. Thanks - Ron I also would like to have the ability to search for images without or with empty captions! Regarding the workaround: It's not necessary to split up the search into different search groups. If you have both "e"s in on search group, you can add another search group with conditions which shall be met, e.g. images from a certain album. Unfortunately there is no grouping available of search groups, but this can help a little bit. Git commit f6ebed2a1d712160889590213c26daa9ed1249d5 by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 22/02/2021 at 22:15.
