Just a shot in the dark: have you tried to collect all images with areas (see the corresponding item in Catalog->By Catalog State) and then examine the Label dropdown content in the Filter Bar? Perhaps some macro command filter could help too?
Just trying...... I didn't notice there was a state for areas. I see all of them in there but I can't seem to filter them.
What do you mean by that? What kind of filter do you try to apply?
When I do a text search in that selection that works, so that might be a way to do it.
Do you mean applying a text filter or using the search bar (top right-hand side) with Current Collection selected as an option?
Subset to a name, assign the label and then subset to someone else I can see in the range and assign that label. Each time starting from the full area catalog state.... And repeat that till li guess I had everyone on the list..... Not really automatic but at least it's a way out :wink:
And it's only about 1000 pictures or so so that's ok.
Hopefully you still some images left to work on, as I've got some good news for you:
Thanks for the great suggestion and tip....buy you a beer one day :roll:
Make that three (tall) beers :roll:, since I have also written two custom scripts for you. One of them should automatically detect all your images with orphan tags (you may want to apply that filter script on the "With Areas" collection, for faster speed) - the other one should automatically apply all the required label assignments (even creating new People labels, as needed).

Please let me know how it goes (preferably, in that other thread).

Cheers,
Vlad
