Hi everyone,

i have a bunch of images, that have the same title (xmp) and description (xmp).
Is there an easy way to find those pictures?

Thanks,
Ben

Two Metadata Filters in the Filter Panel? One for Title, one for Description?
If you enable the Title filter for a scope, the Description filter will show all unique descriptions in that scope, and how many files have the description. Then you can pick easily (n > 1).

not sure, if i understand that correctly.

Title and Description are identical for those images.
But each affected file has another title/description.

When you filter for title "A" you see files with descriptions A,B.C.D in the value filter for the Description tag. Then click on A in that filter and you see all files where Title (A) = Desc (A).

There is no built-in feature for "Show me all files which have the same value in tag 1 and tag 2 and group them like this...". This is a functionality that is very rarely needed, if at all.

If you have many files, try to create a data-driven category. With a variable as the source.

Create a variable expression that becomes "1" when "Title" = "Description" and 0 otherwise.
If you use this to drive a data-driven category, you will end up with two children: 1 and 0.
1 contains all the files where the title is the same as desc, 0 all other files.
You can fiddle the variable in the Var Toy, then transfer it to the data-driven category.
This way you can solve almost anything.
