* Set flag by media text

[snook]

I have been photographing headstones for my records. I save them in the individuals media info this format.
Smith Fred 1900-1975 Headstone.jpg
I would like to set a "Headstone" flag for the individual, by searching all individuals media for the word Headstone.
Don't know if this is possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards Snook

My first comment is that adding headstone images to the Individual Media tab is unusual.
Conventionally, only photos of the person are added to that tab.
Headstones are usually treated as source media linked to a Source record cited by Death and Burial facts.

Anyway, to search for those Media items you need to create an Individual type Query.
The Rows tab filters must use the following settings.
But that must be repeated as many times as there may be Media items linked to an Individual by replacing %INDI.OBJE[1]>FILE[1]% with %INDI.OBJE[2]>FILE[1]% and %INDI.OBJE[3]>FILE[1]% and so on...
Then in the Result Set use the Menu > Set Flag on Row Records...

Not that unusual - I do it.

I use headstones as both a source and as a substitute for a photo of an individual where no photo is available. Because photography is still a relatively new invention and for many years only available to the rich, substituting the grave marker for the individual photo provides some additional interest to reports and websites. In a couple of cases the only photo I have of a person is one that was found on their grave marker!
