Title: Solved: Searching pics without GPS-data in the File Window (Filtering)
Post by: pmbvw on April 27, 2018, 03:10:53 PM
Hello,
surely a simple question, but I can't find an answer :-[
After creating panos through a good pano-software, I am loosing my metadata and the gps-data.
To copy the metadata from one detail file to the pano is an easy step with IMATCH.

BUT, how can I fast and easy find these "pics without GPS-data" in the file-window through a search or  filter?

Oh yes, it works.
I never thought about "Invert the result"

Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend

Multiple ways to do this.

1. Filter Panel: Metadata Value Filter on either GPS Latitude or GPS Longitude.
Activate "Files with value" and and "Invert".
Save as a filter so you can recall it later with a single click.

See this IMatch knowledge base article which describes this technique: https://www.photools.com/3872/find-files-without-metadata/

2. (Easier) Open the "No GPS Data" category under "IMatch Workflow Categories" in the Category View to see all files without GPS data.
You can also use this category with the Category Filter to filter for files without GPS data in selected folders, categories, collections, timeline nodes etc.

Funny :) This morning I read a thread about "IMATCH Workflow Categories" and imported them ;)
Now  I can use this (for me) new category "No GPS Data"

Thanks a lot Mario, for telling the possibilities.

Two days ago I bought and upgraded to IMATCH 2017 and now I love your new GPS panel and am clearing up my GPS-data  ;D

Very good. If may be really cheap, but it is powerful.

Thank you, Mario for this tip:  "Save as a filter so you can recall it later with a single click."
==> Now it is a one click option and I need it often for my graffiti-panos  :) !!!
