How do you show "folder" name

I would like to organize close to 100,000 images that I dumped into photos. I have NO folders created yet so I will be going through all of them in the Library. So I can keep track of what images have been moved to a folder, is there a way to show that folder name below the image like is done for the file NAME.


Note: I never reference a file. I only deal with original files so never a project etc.


Thank you in advance

Hi - No, you can't display it in that way.


You can use a smart album with the condition "album - is not - any" to see which images have not been added to an album.


Or you could also use captions together with smart albums instead of normal albums. Add a caption - eg waterfalls. A smart album with the condition "caption - contains - waterfalls" would then show all images with that word in the caption. "Caption - is not - any" would show all images without a caption, and having the info pane open would allow you to see an images caption as you browse through the library.
