This app is all I wanted to collect, view, tag and search images. And one important thing is go to the original file easily. I need it for some reasons.
The test steps – OneFolder 1.1.2
On: Windows 11 Home
Download from https://onefolder.app/
1. Go to the link above to download file. Install it and open the app
I store photos in one folder. In that folder there are many folders. This app impressed me because it won’t show sub folders but it only shows contents.
In the picture above, folder ‘Images’ contains one sub folder and other photos. I will add this folder to app ‘OneFolder’ by clicking ‘Add Location’
There is a dialog box, you may want to read it.
I click ‘Confirm’
You can see in the picture above that there is no folder showing in this app.
You can change view to ‘Grid’.
You can change ‘thumbnail size’.
I set to smaller size.
You can use filters.
I use filter ‘file size’
You can show file name by clicking ‘3-dot’ icon then click ‘settings’
At section ‘Appearance’, I show ‘file name’ and set shape to ‘Letterbox’.
Here is the result.
2. If you add more photos to folder your target folder, in may case is folder ‘Images’, this app will automatically detect that photo.
New photo will show in the app but numbers of photo won’t be changed immediately. You can see in the picture above it shows 6 images.
I think it’s because it is still in the search mode.
In the picture above, look at the box above text ‘desktop’ is in the search box. This thing makes me think that it is in the search mode. When I click x to clear text ‘desktop’, the numbers of photo is changed to 7.
I tested I again without any text in the search box, the result is what I expected – the app shows new image and changes numbers of photos immediately.
To add tag, select photos.
Right click and select ‘Open Tag Selector’ or select photos and press ‘T’.
You can type tag in the box.
Press enter.
Your tag will show in the left pane.
Next time you can check to add tag in the ‘Open Tag Selector’ window
When you click at the search box, you can check tag you want to search.
When you check the box, tag will show in the search box.
In the search box, you can search name of file and tag.
3. To use advanced search, follow steps.
a. Select target folder at section ‘locations’
Path will show in the search box.
Click that path, dialog ‘Advanced Search’ will show.
At query editor, if you want to search images that have filename that contains ‘one’ AND
tag contains autohotkey.
You should set things like picture below.
In the picture above, to add more condition click icon +
You must select tag by checking the checkbox, you can not type part of it in the box
In the picture above, when you click the box, tag will show.
In the picture above, at ‘Match’, if you want to search photo that meets all condition, select ‘All’.
If you want to search photo that meets any condition, select ‘Any’.
The weak point of this thing is when you click search. You are in the search result page. There is no ‘Match’ type showing. You can not tell where the search result came from - ‘All’ or ‘Any’. You have to remember :-)
In the picture above, If you want to enter the page, double click image. You can add description and view more info. But you can not search image with description.
