In the Smartlist wizard we have rules and modifiers.
One of the modifiers is "Limit Percentage to" and has a field for entering a percent.
How is that intended to work?
I checked the Wiki - "Limit Percentage to" is not mentioned in the Smartlist Wizard Wiki page.
I understand that I can use something like it in the search language, but what I want to know is what happens if I select it in the Smartlist Wizard - there's no place to define what you are selecting a percentage of.
I'm not the first person to have asked this question, but no one seems to have gotten a direct answer. I found 8 hits searching the forum for "limit percentage" - four of those are directly asking "what does 'Limit Percentage to' do?" and these were the answers:
* 12/30/2016: Make your playlist with the wizard then see what it did in the import export window. It's probably using the mix modifier somehow
* 12/10/2007: Sorry, but the wizard doesn't provide any help for the somewhat complicated ~mix rule. Possibly in a future version.
* 03/24/2007: [no response]
* 07/25/2010: Unfortunately Mix() and Limit() (the advanced version) don't work too well with the wizard
So - does anyone know what the "Limit Percentage to" modifier in the Smartlist Wizard actually does?
I did take the advice from 2016 - as far as I can tell, it just appends "~%=XX" to the Smartlist rule. But that applies to the whole Smartlist rule set - which doesn't make very much sense. Is the right answer "it doesn't really work as a wizard." (...because there is no way to assign the percentage limits to particular elements of the search string.)
