Can’t exclude two keywords in smart album

bokehlover71

I can make a smart album with for example all photos taken i 2013, without images containing one keyword. But if I add another keyword to exclude, pictures with both the first and the second keywords are included. I have of course checked very carefully that I have marked both keywords as «Exclude», and that I match all rules. I can’t get it to work correctly. Is this a bug?

If you set match rules to "all", the system:
1. looks at all include rules. For a photo to be included in that set, it needs to match for all your include rules.
2. if there are exclude rules, a photo from the "include set" is only excluded if it matches all the exclude rules.

It sounds as if the photos you wish to exclude don't match all the exclude rules and thus are not excluded. To make what you're trying to do work, set up a special keyword on the photos you wish to exclude, that all the to be excluded photos have. Then set up only one exclude rule using that special keyword you set up.

If you have further questions, add a link to the gallery in question and post what specific rules you have set up and what it is you'd like to achieve.
