Save filters as a Smart Folder
Keep a set of filters in the sidebar and open it again in one click, new pictures included.
Steps
- Set the filters you want above the grid, for example a Color, Tags or Rating.
- Choose More, then Save Current Filters as Smart Folder. File › New Smart Folder (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+N) does the same.
- Type a name and choose Save. The folder appears under Smart Folders in the sidebar.
- Choose it at any time to see the pictures that match its filters now, including pictures you add later.
Change or remove it
Choose the ⋮ button beside the folder. Update From Current Filters replaces its filters with the ones set now, Rename… changes its name and Delete removes the Smart Folder. Your pictures stay in the library.
Tip. A Smart Folder keeps filters, not copies, so a picture can appear in several Smart Folders. To group pictures by hand, use Folders instead.
