Narrow down the current view by using the filter bar


Above the gallery view is the filter bar, which allows you to narrow down the number of photos displayed using various criteria. This filtering always applies to the photos currently displayed, which were selected by choosing one or more folders in the folder navigation on the left-hand side or by clicking "All Photos" under Database.

If the filter options are not visible, you can expand the filter toolbar by clicking the funnel icon.

Quick filter with text input

Directly above the filter bar is a combined search and filter field. Use the dropdown menu on the left to select the desired search criterion—for example, image content, text in photos, or metadata. Enter the search term in the text input field next to it and confirm by pressing the Enter key.

Timeline chart

Click the chart button to the right of the funnel icon to display the timeline chart. It shows the distribution of photos over the years as a bar chart. Clicking a bar displays only the photos from the corresponding time period. You can select multiple bars at once by holding down the Ctrl key. You can also zoom in and out of the chart to view individual years or larger time periods in more detail.

Additional filter options

Three buttons allow you to enable or disable filters for non-RAW formats, RAW formats, and video files.

Under the "Attributes" section, you can filter photos by various properties such as ratings, dimensions, orientation, as well as photos with errors or missing metadata.

You can also filter by Metadata such as camera, aperture, shutter speed, or focal length. The capture date can also be narrowed down, e.g., by year, month, or a specific day. Using the dropdown menu for People, you can select names that have been previously assigned to the photos.

You can sort the display using the selection button in the bottom bar by filename, date taken, star rating, recently added images, or aesthetic rating, either in ascending or descending order. 

Note: You can edit metadata fields such as title, description, category, city of origin, or country of origin in the metadata editor for the photos. The city and country of origin are text fields that are not determined by GPS coordinates.
