[digiKam-users] Search for no captions

[ron.orenstein at rogers.com]

Thanks - that is a neat workaround.

If this is the right place to do so, though, I would like to suggest that this is a feature that should be added to the program. I am in the process of captioning a large number of images and it would greatly speed the process if those I have already done could be filtered out. There is a feature like this in Aperture (you can set IPTC caption data to’ empty’ as a search condition) and I have found it to be very useful.
