Create smart collection containing all images in more than one collection

Hello

 

is there a way in LRC to create a smart collection that filters for all images that are part of more than one (or two etc) normal collection, without having to define the names of these?

 

Thanks Thomas

I didn't see that feature explicitly described, but here's an extensive blog post from Juliane Kost that might give you some ideas:

    In the Smart Collection dialogbox, select source->Collection->Contains and then type in the text field

     

    a e i o u y

     

    including the spaces.

     

    If the photo is in a smart collection name with a vowel in the name, then this will find them. If you have a collection name that has no vowels, like PS14, this will not be found by this method.

      Hi

      thanks for reply, but this method I already use. 

      My question was related to images in MORE THAN ONE collection.

      Background: I sort  my images into certain events per year - but I don't want them to show up in more than one collection - hence I need to search for those which I accidentially put into more then one collection.
