Back End Search for…?

Is there a backend way to search for images that don’t have certain licenses applied? I want to make sure that everything has the Standard and Extended Applied (haven’t uploaded any of my Editorial shots yet)…but I’m not sure there’s a good way to search for the oddballs that I missed (if any).

What about images that do/don’t have release settings applied?

all images have either a YES or NO set for release, so you’d have to look at them all to judge whether they’re needed

rating, rank, exclusive and model release info is in the image.xml file so I could pull that out on my global database, but prices aren’t stored

http://symbiostock-search.com gives many of those reports now, mostly on combined keywords, etc

category also is not stored in the xml file, though

you can see the any site’s xml at http://yoursite/symbiostock_image_xml

the batch editor in the pro plugin helps with batch editing but these addirional fields aren’t covered there – not sure how much call there’d be for a report that sorted by any of the xml fields, but did not allow bulk editing (any editing would have to go back to the actual image in the database. the xml’s are just meant for reporting

If you know how, you can query the database.
