Hi group,

I need the possibility to organize my shootings by date AND time in a differnet way.

For me this two features are very helpful:

1. Smart Collection by Date & Time (Business requirement)

Example:
As a user I want to collect all assets shooted in 2024-12-12 from 09:30 to 11:24 or all assets from 2024-12-12 9:30 to 2024-12-14 11:20.

Now I'm able to sort images while shooting an event with a lot of different groups or acts - lika a carnival parade, a concert with a lot of different acts or other events with the possibility to add a time to a timeplan. In my case I have to organize - based on a timeplan - more than 100 different groups - based on time! 

 

2. Smart Collection based on a day and month (for most private usecases)

Example:

Every 24. of december

Every 10. of november start by 2021

Every 24. to 26. of december

With this setting I am able to sort the images based on a frequently event like christmas or birthdays or other events.

 

Thanks

Stefan

"Smart Collection based on a day and month (for most private usecases)"

 

You can do this with the Library Filter bar's Metadata browser, but not with smart collections. For example,

 

 

You can save these settings as a filter preset by clicking Custom Filter in the upper-right corner.

While waiting for Adobe to implement this (if ever), consider using the Any Filter plugin, which can do that search.
