Shortcut to show star rated photos on Win

[FVlcek]

Hi,

I am alternating between two platforms, Win at work and Mac at home, I can't seem to find a shortcut on the Win version to show only star-rated photos (on Mac, this is CMD-SHIFT-1 through 5). Is there one in the Windows version?

Thanks

No, not anymore.  We used to have keyboard shortcuts for adjusting the Ratings filter, but Microsoft made them specific to the OS (meaning PM doesn't receive them when pressed since the OS intercepts them) in Windows Vista (or Windows 7 I think).

Ah, that explains it. Thanks. It's a pity Windows changed it. Any "free" key combinations that could be used as a replacement? With star ratings getting more and more preference in most software and cameras these days over colour tags, it would be useful. It's incredibly simple to just press three keys on my Mac to see just e.g. three-star rated final selects to transmit, something I miss heavily on Windows...(navigating to the little widget is certainly possible, but sometimes quite harder on a notbook using trackpad when in a hurry). I admit, such shortcuts are mostly for the power users, but anything that gives me an edge over most colleagues (many of whom never learned any Photomechanic's incredibly useful keyboard shortcuts at all, would you beleive it!) is welcome

We tried to come up with some replacements but couldn't find any that were logical.  Feel free to suggest some.

Thanks,
