<pre wrap="">I'm very behind in tagging my photos. My photos are stored in folders
named by the date of the most recent picture in the folder. I try to
keep them in batches of 700 or less per folder.
To catch up, I'm trying to tag the newest ones first.
What I did was select Folder from the main KPA window and then select a
folder to work on. That works fine, but when I try to search within
that folder (nested searches seem to work great everywhere else), it
reverts to matching against my entire collection instead of a smaller
+subset of the folder.
I have a Category/tag named Done for pictures which are completely
tagged. What I wanted to do was select all the photos in the folder
that are *not* Done. This does not appear to work as I expected.
I know I can work around this by manually entering a date range or just
sorting the images in reverse date order, but it would be nice (and
consistent) if sub-selections of a folder would work.

<pre wrap="">Search for the tag first and then go select the folder. The search
seems to start from the whole image database and not to narrow down
the current selection. You could also configure the "Untagged Images"
feature to use your Done tag and thus you could select the untagged
images from main window (the main window "icons" narrow down the
current selection).</pre>

I tried the search that way and it works. When you go to Folders,
folders that don't have any matching pictures just disappear. It's
a bit strange to think of it that way, but it does work.<br>
<br>
As for the Untagged Images feature: The way I understand it is that
whenever you load new pictures, the untagged field gets set to
untagged. Whenever you tag items an+d press Done, that flag gets
cleared automatically. I know I can use Continue Later instead of
Done and it will leave the flag set, but I click Done most of the
time by bad habit because I didn't know what Continue Later was for
until recently. I do have an untagged keyword associated with the
feature, but I prefer having a "Done" that has to be set manually so
it's a lot less likely to get set by accident. Someone on this list
showed me this method some time ago.<br>

<pre wrap="">I would call this a feature as it is consistent for the search
function to always affect the whole database.
I would be happy if the search was to the current selection instead
the whole image database. Clicking the home button before the search
to achieve current functionality is easy enough but search to narrow
down current selection cannot be done with current implementation.

Thanks for checking.<br>
<br>
That's a little hard to understand. I'm not really sure how
searching works, but I just searched for Animal (Category) = Deer
and then subsequently searched for Animal=Bluejay. I was expecting
an "and" operation which would only show me pictures that had both
animals in them, but apparently got an "or" operation - now having
all the pictures displaying either animal. In any case, the first
search results weren't replaced by the results of the second one.
The second one just added to the first, so in some way searches are
cumulative and don't start with a clean slate - at least in what
finally gets selected.<br>
<br>
Eventually, I'll have to "git with the program" and start compiling
new versions. I know the instructions have been posted on this list
several times.<br>
