Hi,

1st and more important request than my next one:
I am trying to create a playlist for several different hard drives, and the simple solution to my query would be to add a Smart Filter on the file path to eliminate all video files that file path start with T:\TV Series\, but unfortunately I can only tick on 'Starts with'. Can you add 'Does Not Start With'

Is this a possibility?

2nd Request:
This is kinda a little more advanced (so perhaps have an advanced tick box on the smart filter window) where we can create custom SQL type query.

For example, I would like to do one:
SELECT
all videos
WHERE
(file path starts with 'T' OR file path starts with 'R') AND duration > 1hr

At the moment the only functionality like this is the match ALL or ANY drop down, it would be handy to do a little mix and match.
See screenshot, unfortunately my example isnt very convincing, but I know it would be handy to have that advanced functionality.

Thanks for the suggestions. We'll look at adding "Does not start with" and grouping/nesting conditions into a future version of Mezzmo.

Is there a reason why you can use a match on "does not contain file path = T:\TV Series" ? I have similar smart filters but I just say file path does not contain television.

This would absolutely be a great addition......You know how many movies begin with "The" or "A" and people just don't go looking for that file in the "T" or "A".

Update: "Does not start with" has been implemented for Mezzmo v5.0.
