[Leica] OT LR question

[images at comporium.net (Tina Manley)]

I just figured out that the reply I sent about filtering by file size was
rejected by the LUG server as being to large.  If you go to LR Help and put
in Filter by File Size, you will get a suggestion to use the EXIF filter in
Library to filter by file size.  I haven't tried that so I don't know if it
works, but the section that I copied and pasted said that it does work to
filter by file size.

Sorry for the confusion.  I assumed my post had made it to the LUG since I
got a copy in my mailbox.
