Auto Tag when rated (star or color)
« on: January 15, 2015, 12:14:54 PM »
Is it possible to have an image automatically receive a TAG or SELECT if it is rated with stars, or colors?

If I tag images, then I have to go back to star and tag them or spend the additional time to tag, star, and color rate. No big deal in LR, since it's a single key to assign a rating or color, PM requires multiple keys to assign anything. (Sometimes something gets a select, a start rating and a color. It's nearly impossible to do quickly in PM).

Also would like to VIEW by ratings (Lightroom has these filter options, by start rating or and/or color rating) since the rating options mirrors LR, perhaps the VIEW (or a filter) of similar attributes would be handy).

PM can tag, rate, and color class, each with a single key press.  When a single image is selected, pressing 't' toggles the tag.  As for rating or color classification, depending on your preferences, pressing the number keys will either rate or color class an item.

As for filtering options, the two widgets at the bottom right corner of the window, do exactly that--they filter based on rating and/or color class.
