Search for photos with identical date and time

[frankdarwin]

I have many photos where the "Create Date" and the "Date Subject Created" are identical. This is probably because I edited these photos with another program at some point and didn't pay attention to the metadata yet.

Can I search or filter for files where this is true?

Yes, you can.
Create a Data-driven category based on "Variable". Instead of a single variable, enter the following nested expression in the field for "Variable":

Code Select Expand

{File.MD.XMP::xmp\CreateDate\CreateDate\0|format:YYYY-MM-DD;datecomp:eq,{File.MD.XMP::photoshop\DateCreated\DateCreated\0|format:YYYY-MM-DD},yes,no}

This should give you yes / no sub categories, containing the pictures where both dates match or not, respectively.

See this help topic for explanation of the datecomp function.
