CollectHelper

🔗Name

CollectHelper.lua - add buttons to help with collections

🔗Description

This plugin adds the button(s) to the “Selected Images” module:

1. Return to Previous Collection
2. Collect on image’s Folder
3. Collect on image’s Color Label(s)
4. Collect on All (AND)

It also adds 3 preferences to the lua options dialog box which allow the user to activate/deactivate the 3 “Collect on” buttons.

Button Behavior:

1. Return to Previous Collection - Will reset the collect parameters to the previously active settings
2. Collect on image’s Folder - Will change the collect parameters to be “Folder” with a value of the selected image’s folder location
3. Collect on image’s Color Label(s) - Will change the collect parameter to be “Color” with a value of the selected images color labels, will apply multiple parameters with AND logic if multiple exist
4. Collect on All (AND) - Will collect on all parameters activated by the preferences dialog, as such this button is redundant if you only have one of the two other options enabled
