Exif data by folder

[rjh1007]

New to PM +
Is it possible to browse or filter the catalog so as to view the exif data by folder or folders instead of the entire database.  I would like to be able to see which cameras and lens were used along with the thumbnails for separate shoots.  My images are arranged with one shoot per folder and in date order.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, yes it is possible to use the Filter system for this purpose, though not all Exif data is tracked.

You would create a new filter, change the default Rating filter to a Folder Paths filter, choose one or more paths, then add a new Exif filter of which there are currently four: Lens Used, Model, Serial Number, and User.

If you need other Exif criteria like shutter speed, aperture, or focal length, etc. they do not currently exist.

Great, I will do that
Thanks
PS I know it is feature request, however, can other exif criteria like shutter speed, aperture, or focal length, etc. be created for users like me that just need to know that kind of stuff?
Again
Thanks

I just followed your instructions and it works perfectly. I previously read and re-read everything about filters and searches and I would never have figured that out from what I read.
Thanks again.

RJ,

We will likely add a few more Exif data like the ones you listed, but none of the more esoteric ones.
