Get List Of Playlists File Is In via Expression
« on: May 15, 2010, 11:32:01 am »

Is this possible?  I can't seem to find any fields or functions that will get playlist information for an expression.  Thanks.

Try

IsEqual([Playlist],XYZ,1)

replace XYZ with the name of the playlist.

This will return all the files in that playlist.

Also every playlist has an ID number. If you know the ID number you can replace Playlist with playlistid and xyz with the number.

The only way I know how to get the number is by using the search wizard. In rules

Playlists | is any | XYZ

press ok than change it to text (click the down arrow on the left of the search window).

Thanks for the replies.  I want to list all the playlists that a photo is in as part of the thumbnail text but it appears that it will not be feasible with an expression (it sounds like I would have to test for every existing playlist and new one that is added).

Sadly you can't do this yet. I have heard of people asking for this feature.

There is a way to see what files are in what playlists. Go to the Action Window > Tag and scroll all the way down. The last field is called Playlists, it will list all the playlists the selected file is in. You can also click this filed and add the selected file to a playlist that's listed.
