Finding 'offline' photos
« on: January 08, 2021, 11:31:43 AM »
Hi

I am using PhotoMechanic Plus v6.0 build 5438

Is there a way to filter only files that are 'offline'...i.e. the photo itself is catalogued but the drive it's stored on is either not connected or the file has been deleted since being catalogued. I have a need to remove a couple of thousand photos that had been catalogued but have since been deleted and want to know if I can find them in the catalogue to be able to bulk delete.

Thanks

There's no filter, but you can use the "Select Missing" command on the Edit menu and the images that are not currently available will be selected.

Please post Photo Mechanic Plus-related issues in the Photo Mechanic Plus boards.

Thanks,
