Lightroom tip for photos taken on a certain day of the week....

I wanted to find all the photos I took on a Friday. I discovered that, if I created a text file that looked something like this:

s = {

id = "89EEBA2B-73EC-49DD-BBFE-67640BA42E9D",

internalName = "Smart Collection",

title = "Fridays",

type = "LibrarySmartCollection",

value = {

{

criteria = "captureTime",

operation = "==",

value = "2016-03-18",

value2 = "2019-03-24",

},

{

criteria = "captureTime",

operation = "==",

value = "2016-03-25",

value2 = "2019-03-24",

},

.....

combine = "union",

},

version = 0,

}

and then imported it as a smart collection, I got what I wanted.

You can also create the collection within Lightroom, but adding all the dates can be very tedious, so I wrote a small program to generate the text file. Just in case you find this to be useful.
