On a Mac you put these in:
[Your User Directory]/Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 21/Library/Saved Views
I downloaded the views and imported them no problem. They work as expected. I like the Panes on the top rather than the left, so I "fixed" that. :) Nice work Marko.

You mean:
~/Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 21/Library/Saved Views
You're on UNIX. Don't be a savage. ;) :-*
Plus, when you tell them to do it that way, they can just paste the string directly into Finder > Go > Go to Folder, so you don't have to explain all of the hidden Library folder stuff.

Good point. I've been using ~ notation since my first Unix around 1992. But modern Mac users have no idea what's under the hood, so I try to make it easier by typing it the way I did. But your point about cut and paste *does* make it easier, so that's worth doing. :)

Thanks for the MAC paths.
The logic for "Last Week" is horrible...
If [date imported] = week zero, then subtract the days to make it 31st December, then format for matching.
To match it:
If the current date is week zero, do the math to roll it back to 31st December, then subtract one from the formatted number to roll back to the previous week (usually week 51, sometimes week 52).
If the current date is week one, then "last week" is week zero, which in turn needs to roll back to 31st December, before being formatted for matching.
From week two onwards, it's all straightforward.
Anyhoo, I made a mistake that, for this year at least, has broken "Last Week" results, on just the 7th, 8th and 9th of January. For any other dates, it will be fine. Currently, it's returning week 51 from 2015 instead of week 52.
I've fixed the string in the post above and have uploaded new saved view files to the other post above.

This is brilliant, Marko! Amazing how many great things are still to be discovered after years of using MC!
I set up the view and it works great. I also added as smart playlists to save with my iPod: I am a happy camper :D
