TAGS with BOOLEAN operators?

Question
1

Using TROPY software to manage family photos.
The following TAGs are being used.
“Mom” = Any photo showing Mom either by herself or in a group.
“Dad” = Any photo showing Dad either by himself or in a group.
“Group” = Any photo that shows any group of 2 or more people.

I WOULD LIKE TO SELECT PHOTOS USING TAGS WITH BOOLEAN OPERATORS
For examples:
“Mom” AND “Dad”
Displays all photos where BOTH Mom AND Dad are in the same photo.

“Mom” OR “Dad”
Displays all photos where Mom is in the photo OR Dad is in the photo. Alone or with other people is okay.

NOT “Mom”
Displays all photos where Mom is NOT in the photo.

“Mom” AND “Group”
Displays all photos where Mom is in the photo WITH at least one other person. I.e., Display group photo including Mom.

“Mom” AND NOT “Group”
Displays all photos with Mom by herself.

At the moment you can only use AND to combine tags, by selecting multiple tags while holding the Ctrl/Cmd key.

Thank you for your reply and for confirming the current behavior.

I’m wondering if “selecting photos using tags with boolean operators” is a feature that might be implemented in a future version of Tropy. I think being able to negate a tag would be useful. Perhaps right-click and a context menu would appear and “negate” would be an option. The tag would then appear in a different color.

Cheers,
Martin

Yes, we have plans and designs for an updated tag management and advanced search interface for Tropy, so this is definitely something we hope to include in the future. However, at the moment we are working on other features, so there’s no immediate timeline for when somebody is going to implement this.
