## Filtering
It is possible filter images by either specifying path patterns to include or keywords which will ignore an image if its path contains any. Two options control this behavior.
It is possible filter images by either specifying keywords or path patterns to either specifically filter for or ignore assets based on their path. Two options control this behavior.
Internally, the script converts literals to glob-patterns that will match a path if the specified literal occurs anywhere in it. Example: `--ignore Feb` is equal to `--ignore **/*Feb*/**`.
### Ignoring Assets
The option `-i / --ignore` or Docker environment variable `IGNORE` accepts a semicolon-separated `:` list of keywords. If an image's path contains that keyword, it will be ignored.
**Example:**
`--ignore "Vacation:Birthday"` will not include any images for which the path **below the root path** contains either `Vacation` or `Birthday`. Albums will not be created for these images and they will not be added to albums.
### Filtering for Assets
The option `-f / ---path-filter` or Docker environment variable `PATH_FILTER` accepts a glob-style pattern to filter for images for which the path **below the root path** matches the provided pattern. **Only** these images will be considered for album creation.
The following wild-cards are supported:
| Pattern | Meaning |
|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
@ -302,10 +290,19 @@ The following wild-cards are supported:
|`[]` | Matches one character in the brackets, e.g. `[a]` literally matches `a` |
|`[!]` | Matches one character *not* in the brackets, e.h. `[!a]` matches any character **but** `a` |
### Ignoring Assets
The option `-i / --ignore` can be specified multiple times for each literal or glob-style path pattern.
When using Docker, the environment variable `IGNORE` accepts a semicolon-separated `:` list of literals or glob-style patterns. If an image's path **below the root path** matches the pattern, it will be ignored.
### Filtering for Assets
The option `-f / ---path-filter` can be specified multiple times for each literal or glob-style path pattern.
When using Docker, the environment variable `PATH_FILTER` accepts a semicolon-separated `:` of literals or glob-style patterns. If an image's path **below the root path** does **NOT** match the pattern, it will be ignored.
> [!TIP]
> When working with path filters, consider setting the `-A / --find-assets-in-albums` option or Docker environment variable `FIND_ASSETS_IN_ALBUMS` for the script to discover assets that are already part of an album. That way, assets can be added to multiple albums by the script. Refer to the [Assets in Multiple Albums](#assets-in-multiple-albums) section for more information.
**Examples:**
### Filter Examples
Consider the following folder structure:
