Is it possible to filter the results of a smart/active playlist based on the result of another smart playlist?

What i'm trying to achieve is having a smart playlist for the last X files added to Mezzmo (or perhaps, all files added in the last 7 days), and display the Album Name before the file. Eg.

Latest Files -> Demons Never Die -> dnd.2011.1080p.MKV.x264.AC3.DTS.NL.Subs.mkv

I've accomplished similar using an active playlist of Year->Month->Album, (which is still handy) but it doesn't quite cut it when you want to quickly find whats new.

If not, is there another way i can accomplish this with the current version of Mezzmo?

Did you look at the Recently Added playlist?

Not at the moment, but this is a planned feature.

The first thing i did was delete all the default playlists. Still, it would seem that the Recently Added playlist achieves the same as i already have, without Album Name used in the hierarchy.

:) do you know what version this is slated for?

Also, on another note, is it possible to force a library update via command line? or is the only way through the built in scheduler?

No firm date or version as yet, but it is high on our development task list.

At the moment, just through the built-in schedule in the Maintain Library dialog. We'll consider a commandline option.
