Title: Files selection
Post by: carca on March 09, 2020, 09:39:38 AM
That s me again! As explained, I am busy with organising my Data Bank and come with new questions every day!
Let me precise that before I ask my questions, I consult the (very well done and detailed) online help for a solution. But sometimes, the online help is sooo detailed that one do not find a straight answer for a specific problem...
I have a lot of photos coming from  regularly visiting a particular zoo (today described as "animal parc"!).
When I select this topic within my categories, I get around 1.000 Photos (covering about 5 years) and I have not categorised the years when the photos were made (but I expect that the metadata have...).
Is there a way to present the search of the categorie "Zoo" parted in the years when the photos were taken? I think I have seen this feature presented in a video, but I do not find it now...

Use the The Timeline View (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#tl_basics.htm?dl=h-2) to see your files organized by year, month and day.
Use the Category Filter in the Filter Panel (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#panel_filter.htm?dl=h-2) to filter for your "zoo" category so you see only files assigned to that category.

Now you can select one or multiple years on the left.
IMatch show you all files (unless filtered out by your category filter) groped by year, month, day in the File Window.

Make sure to enable the options to show the hierarchy as follows:
