Question

Smart Collection, search on collection and set.

Say I have two collections, identically named but each under a different collection set:

Set1/theCollection

Set2/theCollection

Is there a way to create two smart collections, one that contains all images from Set1/theCollection, the other that contains all images from Set2/theCollection

Better yet, is there a way to specify a full path to a collection in a smart collection: a/b/c/d

As far as I know, you can't search by Collection Set.

Why do you need a smart collection for Set1/theCollection? Can't you just click on Set1/theCollection instead of the equivalent Smart Collection?

If that's really a problem for you, then replace your collection set and collection hierarchy with the equivalent hierarchy using keywords.

"Why do you need a smart collection for Set1/theCollection? Can't you just click on Set1/theCollection instead of the equivalent Smart Collection"

Because it doesn't suit my workflow. What I've given here is a simplified example. I can figure workarounds for myself; it's just better and more convenient to do it properly.

The Any Filter plugin lets you search by containing collection set and by containing collection:
