Oops… I guess I need to schedule that eye exam now.  :P

Also, regarding "Imported today"...
If you use the simple approach of "in the last 24 hours" you will inevitably draw in files that were actually imported yesterday. If you use something like this instead though...
[=isequal([date imported],formatdate(now(),dd//MM//yyyy),8)]=1

it compares the current date against [date imported] and only includes those that match, resulting in a true "Imported Today" listing.

You can also use:
[=isequal([date imported],formatdate(math(now()-1),dd//MM//yyyy),8)]=1

to give you a true "Imported Yesterday" listing.
***Bear in mind that these two strings assume that your system displays dates the British (proper ;)) way. If your locale uses a different format, massage the "dd//MM//yyyy" bit to match the way your system displays dates.***

Happy New Year to you all,

This is where I need to focus my attention.  Though right now I have no idea where to input the search string that you've shared.  But this is exactly what I am looking for. 

marko:
So, you add your search list category to the view, then when adding the searches, place the strings in as custom rules, or hit "Import / Export" and paste them in there.

That mistake has been made more often than I would have expected, starting about 16 or 17 years ago at a company I used to work for.  One person *insisted* that was my email address, even after being corrected.  :)

Makes me chuckle too.

That's strange that you should mention that.  Just yesterday I changed up one of my Movies views to sort in several different ways.  This is MUCH faster than clicking through the menus up top trying to find the sorting option you want.

I also combined searching and filtering for one of them.  For my movie series (like Harry Potter, etc), I have a sort button that filters out everything other than movie series and then sorts them by series title and then in order within the series.  This is cool stuff!

Brian.
