Can I Do this in LR??

[raka]

I've been using Expression Media for many years - but still new to LR's DAM capabilities.

i wanted to know all dates that i took photos in France, over the past 10 years.

in EM2, i do this:

- in the Place Finder list i select "France"
- the Date Finder list now HIGHLIGHTS every date that has images for FRANCE  (if a year is collapsed, the YEAR will be highlighted, if i expand the YEAR, the relevant MONTHS will be highlighted, if i expand the MONTH, the actual dates will be highlighted)

so, within a few seconds, i can get this information with a few clicks

can i do this in LR 2.7?  LR 3.x?  how?

thks!

for complete accuracy - i left out an EM step:

after selecting "France", i need to do a "select" on all the France thumbnails now shown to activate the Date highlighting.

thks,

In LR I would just reveal the Library Filter Panel '\' and set the first column to country, then set the second to date.

didn't realize sequence mattered  (had country in the last column)
