Search for a specific season (e.g. winter)

Post by TazQuebec »

Is it possible to search for all picture taked during the winter?

The name of all my picture is the date the picture was taken (YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS)

Thanks

You must search for the files which were shot between December and February.

Filename should be * (any file)

And at Add>> button you should add the EXIF:digitized date . Choose „is between” operator and enter 1/12/2016 and 1/3/2017 (or any other period you like).

Of course, this will work only if you have the EXIF data in place.

With your answer I realize, that I did not explain correctly. Sorry for that.

I want to search for all the winter picture, regardless of the year.

One way that I know would be to create a keyword for each season. I do not like that idea to mush work for something what I rarely search for.

Could I do Regex search?

Thanks

This should search for all pictures between December 1 and March 31.

Use the options "Use RegExp" and "Recurse through subfolders" and type this in the Filename field:

Code: Select all

19..12.._|19..01.._|19..02.._|19..03.._|20..12.._|20..01.._|20..02.._|20..03.._
