Q: Question about Folders in "Photos"
Hello
I am using an Imac for my workstation and an Air for my Laptop. (Photos Version 1.2 running on El Capitan most recent)
1. Thanks in advance for helping understand Smart Folders. Using Get Info I am starting the process of identifying Keyword and Photo names in groups to pull out a specific set of photos for viewing from the master library.
2. I migrated from Iphoto to Photo a long time ago. Whenever, the transition was first made available by Apple. Did not understand it and just went with it. I have 2 Folders on my list called iPhoto Events. One Folder has 20 albums when the IPhoto Events is expanded. The other has 30 albums. I have another 15 albums that are stand alone.
Iphoto Events Folder with 20 Albums
Iphoto Events Folder with 30 Albums
15 Folders (folders are not indented)
I realized that Iphoto Events is just a Folder and that I can rename it to anything that I want.
Q1. Can I move the 15 folders inside either of the Iphoto Events Folders to eliminate this grouping of folders that are stand alone?
Q2. Can I create more Folders where I can drag Albums into the 3rd or 4th Folders so that the Folders have a manageable list of Albums inside of it?
Q3. Can I create a folder that is dedicated to Smart Folders that are based on specific criteria which will show pictures from underlying library, based on the criteria defined?
Q4. I just noticed that I have Albums in each of the iPhoto Events Folders that are the same names and have the same pictures inside of them. If I remove/delete one of these Albums, the pictures in the underlying library continue to stay in the library, correct?
Q5. There are times when I cannot work on my workstation, but have time when I can work on my laptop. When I make changes to Folder names, Album Names, (change names, add folders, rename folders, create new folders etc.) Will the changes I make on my workstation, show up on my laptop?
Is there an amount of time that I need to wait for the laptop to update itself? Inversely speaking. When I make updates to my Laptop. When I go back to my workstation, will those changes / updates be reflected on the iMac Workstation?
Thanks for your feedback
El Capitan 10.11.1 - with Photos1.3
