Categories

Is there a way to drag multiple folders to categories or collections rather than selecting individual images? I have around 50,000 images in 100's of folders and going through each folder and selecting the images is not going to be viable.
<edit> it says you can drag folders to categories in the help file but it doesn't work.

Works here like a charm.

You cannot drag folders to the Category Panel. This does not work. You have to drag them to the Category View.

- Just drag the folders to the Category View tab at the bottom and wait until IMatch switches to the Category View. Then drop on the category of your liking.

- Or, just copy the folders into the clipboard with Ctr+C, switch to the Category View, select the category you want to assign all files in the folder(s) to and press Ctrl+V.

Bot options allow you to assign the files, or add a folder formula etc.


Please note than you can also just select all files in a folder (or multiple folders, or entire drives or even the entire database) with <Ctrl>+<A> and then assign the files via the Category Panel. Assignment operations always work on all selected files.
