Search and display results from within the app

Is there a way to search across an entire album and display the results in the app window?
What I am trying to do is:
Display all photos whose filename begins with the same 4 characters and then assign keywords to just those photos.

(Thread moved - the skin doesn't control what the jAlbum Explore mode does.)

Here's a small script you can run in jAlbum's system console that achieves just that (Groovy mode): rootFolder.descendants.forEach(ao) -> {
if (ao.name.startsWith("_SC_")) {
ao.keywords = "foo,bar"
}
}
Just replace the name pattern SC with what you want and "foo,bar" with the keywords you want. Now those keywords will be applied to all matching objects of the project. |

Is this an incremental change, or does it overwrite the existing keywords?

Thank you. It works well.
Is there a way to make it incremental instead of overwriting? |

You could use rootFolder.descendants.forEach(ao) -> {
if (ao.name.startsWith("_SC_")) {
keywords = ao.getKeywords()
keywords += ",foo,bar"
ao.setKeywords(keywords)
println(ao)
}
}

Just wondering if having a leading comma might cause problems. Would it be safer to check the existing keywords for emptiness, first? If it's empty, make it foo, bar. But if it's not empty, append ,foo,bar.

Not tried it but I think a leading comma would be ignored, like it was an empty string.
Just in case:
rootFolder.descendants.forEach(ao) -> {
if(ao.name.startsWith("_SC_")) {
keywords = ao.getKeywords()
if(keywords == null | keywords.equals(""))
ao.setKeywords("fo,bar")
else
keywords += ",foo,bar"
ao.setKeywords(keywords)
println(ao)
}
}

Here's a modified version that simply ADDS the listed keywords:
rootFolder.descendants.forEach(ao) -> {
if (ao.name.startsWith("_SC_")) {
var kw = ao.keywordSet
kw.add("foo")
kw.add("bar")
ao.keywords = kw
}
}

It strikes me I once made a very flexible API that handles long running tasks with progress bars and the ability to undo everything as a group + it pops up a dialog when it's done = better feedback. Here's a modified version using that API: Work.on(rootFolder.descendants)
.titled("Add multiple keywords")
.filter(ao -> ao.name.startsWith("_SC_"))
.forEach(ao) -> {
var kw = ao.keywordSet
kw.add("foo")
kw.add("bar")
ao.keywords = kw
}.showResult()
You can modify this code to only apply to selected objects by replacing rootFolder.descendants by selectedObjects. To have it apply to all objects of the current folder, replace rootFolder.descendants with currentFolder.children.
Edited by: davidekholm on 2 May 2025, 11:27: Modified to use filter instead of an if-clause, as that creates a correct reporting on # of objects processed. |
