Pierre,

Your responsiveness and speed are exemplary. It is a shame that those computer companies that make a business out of selling software seem unable to follow your example. I have having great difficulties with a RAW image processing software company at present - they are so poor that they ...

Hello,

Yes it does! Thank you. I have tidied up some tags and things seem much better. Odd that 'night' or 'birmingham' finds images but when they are combined, the lower-case version fails whereas the version with capital initials succeeds. No matter, so long as one knows, then one can type in the ...

I see what I have done. I have checked the four images:

Birmingham is tagged Birmingham, Night (but not Night>Birmingham)
Cardiff is tagged Cardiff, Night (but not Night>Cardiff)

Liverpool is tagged Liverpool, Night, Night>Liverpool
Hidcote is tagged Hidcote, Night, Night>Hidcote

I do not know ...

Hello Pierre

Attached four files. All four are tagged 'night'. Each one is tagged with a different location: Hidcote, Cardiff, Birmingham, Liverpool. All four locations also have images not tagged night (effectively the daytime shots - I tag night shots but don't tag daytime shots).

If I Quick ...

Mmm ... see screen grabs

Search cardiff: Search night: Search cardiff+night

Hello,

| is implemented but not +

That is:

birmingham|liverpool finds images from either b or l

But if I want night images from liverpool: night + liverpool does not work. I am unclear whether this release was to include + or only |

Hello,

I've downloaded the portable version and copied the database files over. Initially I could not replicate the problem but I now believe I have a cause. I use a trackball rather than a mouse. I think that if there is a very slight movement on the ball when the Alt and Click are pressed, the ...

Excellent, so it should be straight forward for the software people to add to their application.

It's good to have such a resolution.

Yup! Agree. What I didn't try is simply changing the extension from ori to the regular orf. If that worked then it would be the case that the file is (largely) the same and that it is only the extension that is not recognised. May try that when I'm back on the photo laptop.

Thank you.

Gosh - this is excellent service Pierre - thank you so much.

Hello Pierre,

If you are asking me what search features I would like then the list would be quite long :shock:

Certainly, partial term. For example, if the term is a longer word then a partial search makes things quicker and that helps. But then it introduces the question - or an option - to ...

I've uploaded the file to We Transfer:

Really helpful response Michael - thank you.

Now it is clear.

Mmmm ... I don't _want_ to use IPTC - in fact, I don't care what is used other than I don't want to create copies of the RAW image just because I added a keyword and I'd rather be able to write to sidecars as that makes the data portable to other applications. Then, the main driver, is to be able to ...
