How to

Create

Open the menu: 

File >> New smart bin

Then select one of the following options:

  • Name: use a name that will help to identify easily its content.
  • Match: this field identifies how the rules in the smart bin will be combined. There are two options:
    • All: acts as the logic operator "and". The smart bin will include media that are meeting all the rules.
    • Any: acts as the logic operator "or". The smart bin will include media that are meeting at least one of the rules.
  • Rule: filters for the new smart bin.
  • Sub-rule: to further filter a rule it is always possible to add a sub-rule. Hold the "alt" button and click on the plus sign at the end of the rule to create a sub-rule.

By saving the newly created smart bin is automatically updated.

By double-clicking on the new smart bin, its rules will be displayed and it will be possible to change them
