Q: Search for Blank or find metadata that is empty

Hello super-intellegent people,

How do I search for all assets that have no keywords?

Thanks,

Jacob

Unfortunately you can't from the interface. (Send feedback to Apple if you want to have your voice heard.)

You'd have to script a custom solution to extract all the assets and test for empty keywords fields.

You'd have to do it with regular expressions, creating a new field for the advanced search area. It can be done, just a bit of work.

IS there a good place to look up regular expressions?
