smart collection criteria

Contributor ,
May 30, 2022 May 30, 2022

regarding smart collections, what in the heck goes into the box when the export option is selected as shown in the screenshot?  I also tried selection "starts with" and am confused over what it's looking to start with.  I tried filename, dates, other things and always the result was an empty collection.  I can find NO documentation on this.tim test 5.jpg

"Exported" appears because you have a specific plug-in installed into Lightroom Classic that produces that option. It is not available to me (or anyone else without that plug-in installed).

 

What plug-ins do you have installed?

The point others are making is that the 'Export' item in your list is not present in their list nor is it documented. The same applies to 'Published' and 'Settings'. Therefore, the fact that the three items are listed in your copy of LrC and not other users who've responded to your original query suggests that they've been added to the list via some third party plug-in or script!

Again, the "Exported" selection in your smart collection criteria does not APPLY to plug-ins, it applies to your photos, all of them, every single one. It appears in your Smart Collection criteria because you have installed a certain plug-in.

again, not interested in how it applies to plug-ins.  Thanks anyway and I'm done.


 

Sounds good.

I have used an old Rob Cole plugin (TextMeta, iirc) which added some useful extra options of this sort - Parent folder name, Grandparent folder name for example. So this kind of thing is certainly possible from a plugin.
