finding portfolios for a photo

[jj95]

My situation is the following : I use portfolios to manage what "usage" I do for some photos.

Then : a photo can be referenced in many portfolios. For example : in the porfolio for club session, and also in the porfolio for a conference, ....

Is there a function in PS that could give me the list of portfolios where my photo is referenced ? I have not found that function in PS.

Hi,

Thanks for pointing to the solution in the other thread! It’s good to know there’s a way to find the list of portfolios referencing a photo. This will definitely make managing photo usages easier in PS.

Apart modifying the text below the thumbs, I found another solution much is more interesting.

The solution is to customize the "info" right window (when you click on the info button) ! In this window, it is possible to add "personal" fields.

So, in this place, I have added a new field which calls the macro : CatalogPortfolioList ! And I have also added a field with macro : CatalogLabelList.

Doing this, it allows to display Catalogs and Labels when selecting a picture.

That's good idea - but what's the macro code?

The macro is a menu selection. Follow these steps:

Select New Custom Field > Add Macro Field
Enter a caption.
Click the pre-entered %FileName and choose Select Another Macro
Select Catalog > Portfolio List
Click OK

The macro itself is described in the Macro Commands manual. The only thing I don't think is possible is to add parameters, as defined in the manual, to the command. If it is possible, I would like to know how.

Thanks - that did it

I tried everything but that! Clicking on the menu; trying to overwrite %FileName with the macro code; deleting %FileName then trying to use the + button lower down...

I can't see a way to add add parameters either.
