Searching for null values of a specific file property

[akpuggy]

Hi all!

I'm trying to create a custom search criteria but I can't figure out how to search for all files that are missing the Exif Date parameter.

In "Search" I went to "Plugins", selected the property and made it equal to blank. Simply not typing anything did not yield any results so I also tried typing in null, same results. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

akpuggy,
Perhaps try:

Code: Select all

!regex

Code: Select all

.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, there is no option to use regex in when searching for property content (maybe I'm wrong since I started using TC just today). Here is a screenshot that might clarify what I'm trying to do: goo.gl/L24TRx

Basically, I am trying to search for all files that meet a certain regex criteria in the name and also are missing the EXIF date property.

Thanks!

Click on the "OP:" selector (the one that shows "=" in your screenshot) - you will fing regex on the bottom of the list.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I do see the regex option, but its only available for the standard plugin parameters that seem to contain text fields(goo.gl/dGH082). The Date fields do not have the regex option (goo.gl/KM5Hqw).
