Hello - I take lots of photos of kittens I foster for a local non-profit rescue. I like to flag the best images that we can then use for our FB page by having the name end with *** (e.g. 001 Indira***.jpg or 014 Moki***.jpg).
If I have a folder of images open in GC 11.x I want to be able to do a Search for *** and have it filter out all the other images. Then I could select them and "Share" them via Mail.app to our FB coordinator.
However nothing changes in the images shown.
I am NOT trying to use an asterisk as a wild card - simply search for the occurrence of 3 of them in a row.
I tried /*/*/* and \*\*\* and {*} and "***" and a few others.
thank you

The asterisk is used as a wildcard character.
So, I can maybe add a command: convert asterisk in name to rating? Filtering of images by rating is supported.

Re: [Solved] How to search image titles for ***
Thank you but your suggestion of "rating" photos is not what i was looking for.
I add the *** to images so I can see that in the Finder when I look into a folder. The Finder will let me search on *** and match correctly. Thus I can selected the needed subgroup with the *** in the Finder to share to email.
Your suggestion could be handy however I cannot easily manually select the images with ***. I may have 200 images in the GC 11 browser window with only 15 with the ***. Thus I would need to hand select each one. If I did that then I could simply Share to email those images.
I guess I goofed using *** years ago instead of something like zzz

Re: [Solved] How to search image titles for ***
With all due respect, Thorsten just told you how to do it. You use the new command he made to rate all images with file name ending in *** to be 3-star ratings. Then at the bottom of the browser use the "Show:" pull down box and change it from the default of "All Ratings" to "*** or better" and your giant list will be instantly changed from showing 200 images to only those 15 images. Now you can easily select the 15 images at once.however I cannot easily manually select the images with ***. I may have 200 images in the GC 11 browser window with only 15 with the ***. Thus I would need to hand select each one.
Likewise, on your list of 200 images if you simply right click on a black area between the photos, you can pick "Select Items ->" and then pick the 3-stars option. This time GC will automatically select those 15 files for you.
