Just wanted to say, the new smartlist is awesome.
Makes it so much simpler for everyone to do it and is alot faster than having to go through one by one selecting each item to add to the search one by one.
Cant wait to see it integrated into everywhere in the program (search bar, VS's, etc).
One idea would be to do this wizard like the 'mp3 encoder options' in that as you setup the search using the wizard, its creating it below in a big text box so that you can then manually go in and edit and tweak it.
This would allow everyone to see the syntax and the pro's to easily edit the syntax right there and then.
One thing that I think would REALLY help me (and I presume everyone else), is having some way of creating some GUI or soame way to help us with 'if(x=y)' type searches. I always have my VS's only show fields that are needed - I can never remember how to do this.
It really is like learning a programming language to be able to do this in MC and, just like a programming language, if you dont use it for a while, u forget the syntax.
Its an extremely powerful feature but not at all obvious or easy to use.
An idea might be to include it into some of the default views - only showing fields that exist makes sense.
My Default for my album views for eg is:
[Album] - (if exists, year)
[Artist Album (Auto)]
