Tip: Select by Tag

Post by admin »

(I said this already elsewhere but it is so nice it merits its won topic... :) )

You can use the Selection Filter (Ctrl+M) on columns like this: "comment:honey", or "tag:red;blue", or "tag:gr*" (match Green and Grey), to select all items in the list with the matching column contents.

You can do this also with Scripting:

Code: Select all

selfilter "red;blue", , "tag";
You could create a UDC with the above script and assign a KS to it.

Oh hi,

This Ctrl-M tag filter doesn't work anymore, does it?
I have tagged quite a few images, and I would like to filter those with a specific tag, without resorting to a full search.
Is it possible?
Also, can I filter via the Visual Filter thing?

Seems to work here. You must know that this filter has not a lot of smartness. It's a simple string match. So you would pass your tag, e.g. "dog". enclosed in wildcards:

Code: Select all

Tags: *dog*

Ah, the keyword is "tags:" - plural.
It works for selection, but no luck for visual filter.
Any special syntax for VF?

VF does not support columns.
