| The range of
images that will be displayed is primarily controlled by the using
the category tree in the left hand pane. However this can be further
narrowed by use of these search criterion which can reduce the range
of images that will be tested for categories. There are three forms
of criterion; a date range, folder and keywords. The date range and
keyword search will only include images if they have appropriate
values entered in their image properties. Both the from and to
dates can have their fields set to zero. The fields can be cleared
manually but buttons have been provided for convenience.
Date Range
A date range can be specified
with the from and to dates. These dates specify an
inclusive range ie all images from the start of the from date up to
and including the end date will be included. For example if the from
date has a year of 2002 and month of 9 with the day set to 0 and the
to date has a year of 2002 with both the day and month dates
set to 0, then all images from the beginning of September 2002 up to
the end of 2002 will be included. |
Folder
Search
The Folder Organisation dialog will be displayed. Select a
folder to view and only images from that folder will now be included
for the category selection..
Keyword Search
One or more words can be entered to search for in the Index, Media
Name, Originator, Caption or Description fields. Any image that has
any of the words in the appropriate field will be included for the
category selection. If you want to search for multiple words
(phrases) that must appear together then place them in
quotes. So big man in the caption field would search for any
images with either big or man (or both) appearing in
the caption field. Whereas "big man" would search
for any images with the phrase big man in the caption
field .
