Searching for images by filename

To search for images by filename, make sure the catalogs you want to search
are open, then follow these steps:

1

Choose Filenames from the Search menu.

The Search Filenames dialog box appears.

2

Type the filename or a portion of the filename you want to find.

Capitalization and diacritical marks don’t matter. PhotoFlash looks for images
with filenames that include the text you specify.

3

Select the search options you want.

The default settings cause PhotoFlash to search only one catalog and to
highlight the selected images in that catalog.

4

Click OK or press Return.

When the search is complete, PhotoFlash selects the matching thumbnails
in their original catalogs or, if you selected the Put Results in New Catalog
checkbox, creates a new untitled catalog containing copies of all matching
thumbnails.
