In Shortcuts, how to find a specific photo?

In Shortcuts, I added a PHOTOS / Find Photos action and I want it to select a certain specific photo. I see there is a filer "Name is something", but it does not seem to work.

I tried to enter the filename (IMG_123.PNG), but it does not find the correct photo.

Is the "Name" filter referring to some other name of the photo? The Caption (in shortcuts "Caption" is not offered as a filter) maybe?

Using iOS 14.3

Solution 1:

Individual photos can be selected by their (file)names. But without the dot part.

So: Name is IMG_123

The letter case must also match!

The following will not match the photo named IMG_123.JPG:

• IMG_123.JPG
• img_123.jpg
• img_123

To find out the filename of a photo in the Photos app:

• open the photo
• tap the action/sharing icon:
• in the menu select Save to Files

The file name will be shown at the top, next to the file icon. No need to actually save the file.

PS: There does not seem to be a way to filter by photo caption.
