Add folder to Smart Albums

I like the new concept of Session Albums. But it also breaks some things, especially Smart Albums.

I have several Smart Albums that previously only reacted to pictures in the Capture folder. Now they include all pictures in the entire session, including output-folders. So I get a lot of doubles - the original in Capture, and all the different versions in the Output-folder.

Eg. I have a Smart Album called 'Without Title'. It simply looks for images that does not have the Title set. I have almost no images without title in Capture, and I alwasy use this Smart Album to find newly added images that need a title. So I usually have very few. Now I have 5988 in this album because it includes all the folders in the session, - and I have several export-folders with the exported images.

It would be much better if I could include what folder to use in the Smart Album logics.

    Hi Jan, thanks for the feedback!

    We're aware of that, we're looking into solutions as we speak. In the meantime, you have a setting to disable the new section completely, it will return your library tool to how it worked before the update.
