PM5 Searching in persons field
« on: July 08, 2012, 06:46:44 AM »
Hi

I can't make a search containing persons field. Are the search fields fully customizable or the search is made in some specific fields only?

The Search function searches the fields that Spotlight provides.  Spotlight, to my knowledge hasn't been updated in some time and hasn't kept up with the progression of IPTC4XMP.

Try using the Find function (CMD+F) instead!
Working on Mac, OSX, iOS and with some Canons.

Tested with OS X Mountain Lion to see if there are any changes in Spotlight:

the text in fields "caption", keywords", etc... are OK, but text in "Persons shown" is not found.

thanks szurkebarat. It worked but it shows results among others. Is there any way to show only results?

Yes, hit F2 to show only selected photos - don't forget, if you change selection unselected images will disappear.
