Question

Find by name multiple photos not in collection

I'm looking for  group of 500 photos with specific names and are NOT in a collection.

I've tested without success a sample of (5) names using the Text field  with a comma separating each name, and no space between names:

name 1,name 2,name 3,name 4,name 5

    BTW, you can do the same in a single smart collection but it would require changing the smart collection every time for different filenames.

    To do the filter you want you can use BOTH a Smart Collection and the Filter Bar Text Attribute at the same time.  Have the Smart Collection selected.    Change a e i o u to what ever you need to make sure all the collections are addressed.

    Finding filenames with the Text Attribute works that way ONLY if the files DO NOT have spaces as far as I can tell and you do not need the commas
