Passcode Photos Search- Change From {title} Exif Field To Filename For Search

Hi Tim.

As you know, I'm currently using the excellent passcode feature.

Currently using it to search via the {Title} exif field. Works superbly for my purposes and I love it!

However, I have a gig coming up where I have to use the filename search feature, i.e. name-passcode-counter.jpg as I wont have time to create Title passcodes.

On researching yesterday, it appears that only one passcode search feature can be used at any one time. Blast. Is this right? Can I use different passcode search criteria on different galleries?

If this is not so, what will be the effect of now changing the passcode search function from {Title} to filename? Will all my previously uploaded images (many thousands) no longer be searchable, will they retain their legacy search abilities or will they immediately transfer to a filename search? My previous filenames do not include two hyphens in their filenames, so I suspect they will simply not be discover-able?

Thanks for any input Tim,

Trailboy

The field to search for the passcode is a global settings and can't be changed on a per gallery basis. If you were to change it, the other galleries would not work ... meaning people would not be able to find the photos.
