photo pictures in folders

I have a huge photo library and want to see that they are all in folders. Is there a way to find which pictures are not in folders?

Do you mean folder, or album. You can use a smart album with the condition "album is not any"


Which should show all photos not in an album. There is no equivalent for folders, but pictures cant be in a folder unless they are in an album inside that folder.


It is possible to have albums at the top level, and therefore not in any folder.
