Can Location Attribute be modified conditionally?

hwitten

I would like to blank out the Location attribute if it is a specified string, like my home location.

I like having the Location shown but if the image was taken at home I'd like to blank it. I take lots of pics in the garden, etc. and I think they would look nicer if home location not repeated many, many times.

There's no way to do this automtically, but you could do it by hand fairly quickly:

• open your project in Designer, go to List view, and make sure the Location column is visible (Right click the column header and click the checkbox for 'Media Location'

• sort by the Location column
• scroll until you see the first one with your home location. Click to select the row
• scroll down until you see the last item with your home location
• Shift click to select the range of rows
• Now, you want to remove the "%location%" variable from the Caption.

One way to do it:

• Hit Command-4 to open the Info window on the Caption tab.
• remove the %location% variable

• Confirm that you want to apply this change:

Another way to to do it:

• make the change in a single row of your sequence
• copy that row
• select all rows that you want to modify
• Use the 'Paste Attributes' command, and paste only the Caption's Text value:
