Smart Album, Event is exactly "Name"?

Hi, I have several Events that I regularly add photos to, I would like to create a Smart Album that automatically updates itself whenever I add photos to those events.


If I use the "Contains" criteria for Events, iPhoto adds all of the photos from the events which name contains "ExampleName" to that album which is not what I want. What I want is for iPhoto to add photos of only events named exactly like how I set it in the criteria e.g. "ExampleName" into the Smart Album. This would work if Events had an "Is" criteria.


Do you have any suggested solutions or workaround?



Thanks,

Cheers!

Use unique names for your events. You could prefix the events by a prefix, that is only used for your auto update album, like update::
