How do I know in which collection(s) a picture is stored?
« on: November 30, 2020, 05:39:00 PM »
Hello all!

First of all: I'm super impressed with the features available in PM+. Well done to the team at Camera Bits!

I'm still exploring and learning. The documentation is still a bit sketchy (But I expected that as the software has just been released).

Anyway, how can I find out to which catalog(s) a picture belongs?
I generated about 30 catalogs and some pictures are assigned to multiple catalogs.
When I assign a picture to a catalog I can see that picture in that catalog but the photo itself doesn't tell me in which catalogs it's connected to.
Anybody out there who can tell me how to find out?

Right-click on the picture and move your cursor onto the "Catalog Info" sub-menu of the contextual menu that appears.  It should list the catalog(s) that the image is in.

Thanks for the fast response Kirk! Much appreciated.
I think I was using the wrong term: Instead of the word Catalog, I meant Collections.
I have attached a snapshot of part of my Collections for clarity.
Take for example the Antarctica collection. In there I have several sub-collections. Some pictures could be in multiple sub-collections.
The problem is when I right-click on the picture and click on Catalog info it shows me the catalog indeed, which is: Catalog D-Drive.
The problem is that I can't see in which Collections the pictures are in.
It would be great if there is a similar button called "Collection info", but that seems to be missing.

So, it seems that it is impossible to know whether a picture is already in a certain collection unless you physically open the collection and look for that picture.
Maybe a feature that could be added to further updates?
Cheers,

Luke

Hi PauloBMB,

I endorse tour request. This would be a great feature.
I was going to list this request on the feature request forum but I can't log in to that site. My credentials don't work.
Obviously you were able to put that request on that forum, so, there's no need for me to clog the system.
Thanks for letting me know.
Cheers,

Luke

You need to create an account.  The account you have for these forums won't work there.  Nor will your Camera Bits e-store account work there.  Just create an account.

Thanks Kirk. Will do.
I assumed that it was the same as my normal account.
Thanks!
