Search for images is inconsistent in pspx7

Post by seebee »

PSP x7 help guide suggests to type in words in the navigation search engine to locate photos. Having tried it a couple of times gave me the idea to put search terms into photos. Reality suggests this to be a waste of time because it doesn't always work. If I go through and put the word 'footpath' into a selection of pics, I get no returns when testing it out. Could this be related to caching?

I find similar problems with tagging. Sometimes photos turn up in a wrong tag selection. Sometimes I cannot remove the tags. I have been using Aftershot pro as well, but can't see why this should be the problem.
MY solution to the tagging problem was to resave photos without exif info. This worked but obviously is a let down not having any photo info.

Just wondering if other users have similar problems to this when using psp x7? :?:

Don't you love it when you work out the answer all by yourself? I'll put it in case anyone else gets stuck on this
To do a search of all images you need to be in a 'smart collection' called 'all photos'. Why doesn't Corel mention this in the help guide?
Help guide calls it an advanced search..
"When you perform an advanced search, you can save the search rules and results as a Smart Collection"
