For example, if I am looking at unknowns (or any taxon), it would be handy to be able to filter for observations with: 1 photo attached - I know I won’t have to ask the observer to separate anything, and can just start IDing unknowns 2 or more photos attached - if I already have my “please separat…

It would also be handy for bulk annotating! Adding Life Sage, Sex, Dead/Alive can go faster if I can filter to only look at observations with 1 media file (be it photo or audio), and then come back later to look at the ones with multiples.

Hi, unluckily I have no answer to this question, but I would be interested if such search feature were available. Beeing able to filter observations by numbers of photos attached is a rather good indicator for the effort put by the observer to look for details and so, the more photographs there is w…

I would also like to see a feature like this as I am often looking for photos of features that usually do not show up in observations with only one photo. Additionally, what would be even more useful is if the search returned a grid of resulting photos from all the observations in the format of the …

I like the idea of having a search filter for the count of photos in an observation. I’m currently working on a test dataset of images that contain the same animal for testing pattern recognition software. For that it would be useful to be able filter observations with more than one photo.

For similar reasons to @rymcdaniel I’d really enjoy this feature. I make flora keys and my location restricts my access to herbariums which makes accessing reference material difficult. Instead, I use photos and descriptions I find online which can all too often be contradictory of one another, or s…

Platform(s), such as mobile, website, API, other: mobile & website URLs (aka web addresses) of any pages, if relevant: n/a Description of need: I’m a mycologist interested primarily in the fungi of the Andes and Amazon regions. If I want to parse through observations meeting those criteria in ju…

@kallampero I merged your feature request with this existing one – please feel free to continue the discussion here.

So I asked our devs about this, and the number images attached to an observation, and the number of sounds attached to an observation are already indexed in our database, which is good news. So making a param to enter into the search URL is possible. Without a redesign of the Filters box, though, I …

I think this sounds good. One other option could just be the ability to enter an exact number (eg, multipleimages=3) to allow for searching specific numbers of photos, though I am not sure if that is more detail than needed.

If you have a page of 30 Unknowns - you can skim thru and open all the multi-photos to check - DQA for not 1 subject?

I open obs for placeholder and notes anyway.
