Filters
How the filter builder works, which Cleanup, Content Review and Organize all share.
Several pages let you describe what you are looking for by stacking up conditions: Cleanup (video and audio), Content Review and Organize. They all use the same filter builder, so once you know one you know them all.
Adding a condition
Click Add filter, then type to search the list of things you can filter on, or scroll through it. Pick one and a small editor opens, where you set how it should compare and the value. Press Enter or click away when you are done, and it collapses into a chip.
Click a chip to open its editor again, or click the × to remove it.
How a condition reads
Most conditions have two parts after the name, which is how to compare and what to compare against.
- Numbers like duration, file size, frame rate and resolution use is over or is under. Many have shortcuts to common values, such as 1 GB or 1080p.
- Dates use is after or is before. You can say "30 days ago" or pick a date from the calendar.
- Names use contains, doesn't contain, or roughly matches. Roughly matches also catches names that are spelled a little differently.
- Choices like orientation or file type are picked from a short list.
- Percentages, used by detection labels in Content Review, use at least or under a confidence level.
Results update live as you change anything, and the page tells you how many things match.
Combining conditions
Between each pair of chips there is a switch with AND and OR.
- AND means a file has to match both conditions. This is the default, so more conditions means fewer results.
- OR means a file matches if it passes either one, so more conditions means more results.
Click the switch to flip it. Each switch works on the pair next to it, so you can mix them to build up something like "short AND small OR old".
Where it shows up
- Cleanup uses it to find files to delete, with a different set of fields for video and audio.
- Content Review adds detection labels, so you can look for specific things in pictures.
- Organize uses it on any folder, with extra fields such as extension and type, and a row of common names to filter on with one click.
