collection data within metadata?

[pstraus141]

I have a collection of  the last four years of big photographs -- about 600 photos. I've also created about 30 collections with particular subject matter. There are many photographs in more than two collections.

Is there any way to look at one particular photograph in Bridge, and find what collections it is in?

I'm going to assume that you have each collection and each particular subject as folders and sub-folders? If so, this is very easy. 

First off, let's say you have all of your travel images in a folder called "Travels." Within that folder/collection is Paris. However, when you click on a file that is in your Collections and then look in your Path, you will see the path as to where the information for the Collection is stored.

However, if you right-click on a file and select "Reveal in Bridge"…

 This will show you where the file itself is in your computer's labyrinth.

 I hope that is what you needed, let us know.

Thanks, Gary, but not, I don't have each collection in a folder. I use collections to collect photos that are in different folders!

I have a utility script called Find in Collections. You can download it from my Dropbox.

I have not done extensive testing on Bridge 13 or 14, since I'm still using Bridge 12. This SHOULD work ok but no promises.

Thank you.

However, I don't know how to use such a scrip. I downloaded it, but I don't know what to do next. Please explain.

Thanks,

Phil
