P: Smart-collection operator "is empty" doesn't work for Alt Text and Extended Description.

[John R Ellis]

The smart-collection operator "is empty" doesn't work for Alt Text and Extended Description. To reproduce in LR 13.3 / Mac OS:

1. Download and open this tiny catalog:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3d1gd67l2fmkrqjtc16sh/smart-collection-empty-bug.2024.05.29.zip?rlkey...

The catalog has two photos, "empty.jpg" with all blank metadata fields and "non-empty.jpg"  with Alt Text, Extended Description, and other text fields non-empty.

2. Observe that the smart collections "Alt Text is empty" and "Extended Description is empty" contain no matching photos -- they should contain one each:
