So I am not sure how things have changed but DT seems very unintuitive when it comes to selecting several days of “collections”. The manual does not quite go into nearly enough detail to nail down the following scenario:
Day 1 hiking photos
Day 2 Photos of Jupiter
Day 3 more hiking photos
Collections for each day - film rolls - reveals the photos can be selected only one day at a time. I want to collect day 1 and day 3 in LightRoom… I can see each list in my collections I select each while holding down the Ctrl or Shift and that does not work. I Tried using / or \ or : in the create filter but I can not find any filtering to get several days selected.
Google search turns up nothing. The manual does not seem to offer a solution.
I would love to be told I am a idiot and here is how you do it.
Select the first film roll, then click on the little triangle next to the input field for the film roll and choose “add more images”. You will get a second line where you can then select the second film roll.
I don’t love the collection idea mainly because of this. I prefer to use the ‘folder’ selection. I select folder by year and then I can filter from there.
Same here - folders are the way to go for me. Never use film rolls.
You can use “capture date” and something like this [2023:05;2023:07] or simply drag and select on the bottom bar that shows the time line
Also - you can assign tags and group by those. You can have literally thousands of photos and group by time, stars, color tags, add more images, subtract - so many things really.
Yes I do all my pictures in folders based on date taken.
The below works great as well as the triangle next to the input field and I will use them, but I just might say " : " is not very intuitive for dates - time yes dates not so much but it definitely works!

But I am very grateful for all the of the help and suggestions.
I generally find a traditional folder interface easier to deal with, at the moment if I want to find a particular image I look through file manager, then find the name, then search for the name in DT, but I like scrolling down the screen and seeing all kinds images in DT without having to change folders
