I have a numbers document with a list of files I need ALL the files to come up in search rather than just the 1st one when i copy/paste into text search.

 

I 've tried adding a comma with text replacement in numbers - Im sure theres a better way and I only get 1 image to show up when i do this.

 

HELP appreciated

You should be able to simply type the file names (or parts thereof) into the Filter Bar search field.

 

5901 5902 5929

 

finds files whose file name contains any one of those three numbers.

    I did finally figure it out - had to remove file designation other than file number - not to crazy hard...

     

    1. Emailed myself the rating list from CamRanger app on iPad
    2. copy/paste all the ratings into a Numbers document or Excel on Mac
    3. Filter by rating
    4. Find - Fine/Replace front part of the file name -  in my case Replace _DSC part of file name with nil. Then Replace .NEF with nil so I’m left with just numbers in Numbers
    5. Copy numbers column
    6. Paste into Text - any searchable field - contains - search in Lightroom - viola! those images appear!
    7. Select all and hit the corresponding # 1-5 for rating.
    8. Do a happy dance!
