Any filtering plugin able to use metadata fields ignored by LR ?

[Samoreen]

Hi,

Assuming I'd like to setup a filter based on the LensID or LensIDNumber fields, LR cannot help. It merely ignores these fields (and others). Is there any plugin that is able to do that ? I tried AnyFilter but that doesn't work for these fields.

Thanks in advance.

PS : I have found a workaround using exiftool (I move the contents of the LensID field to the Lens field) but this makes automatic recognition of the lens profile impossible. Setting the profile manually is not a big issue, though.

Thanks. I tried but the LensID and LensIDNumber don't seem to be taken into account.

Actually, I'm investigating this for a colleague. He uses 2 different 50mm lenses but both lenses show the same string in the Lens field. They are correctly identified only by the LensID and LensIDNumber fields but LR doesn't use these fields for filtering. The only workaround that I found is to use exiftool to copy the contents of the LensID field to the Lens field. This works but makes automatic loading of the lens profile impossible.
