Select Even Numbered Photos
« on: March 21, 2011, 07:42:55 AM »
Is there a way to select only even numbered images. I recently scanned in almost 200 old German postcards and I followed a convention where the even numbers were always the front side and the odd were the back. I want to add keywords "front" and "back" to the appropriated cards. Any suggestions?

You could try making a custom sort.  Use {filenamebase:-1,1} as the primary sort string.

All of the even numbered photos should be grouped together, followed by the odd ones.

Kirk, thanks. Your answer was very helpful. I had not use the sort feature before, but it is very handy.
