Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with making the right query that I want with LR.
I tried several ways but it looks that the "OR" operator does not have a place in LR
Let's say that I want to select in my catalog some images that have "Job=Type A" or "Job=Type B".
The catalog has in the "Job field", 5 values ranging from "Type A" to "Type E".
I also tried the hidden "Alt" and click on plus symbol, but nothing makes gave the right answer.
This is what I want:
Get from the database:
All Pick Flag= flagged and
All Label Color=blue and
All Family View 12 that contains only the word "Nadia" And
Job that contains "Type A" OR Job that contains "Type B". ( don't select Job c,d,e)
Lr is very confusing in the way it handles the operators (AND, OR, NOT, =, and etc...).
They tried to make it easier for people that don't have the right knowledge of a SQL database queries for example:
The definition of what they meant by contains or contains all and some other terms that they use are not very clear and I couldn't find any documentation or a good explanation of what they meant by those terms in the selection.
At this point, I don't know if my query is possible in LR and would like to have some help on this and if possible if someone has a good explanation of those confusing operators that LR uses in the queries.
Thank you
