What is the expression for custom field == 1 ?
« on: April 18, 2013, 03:22:03 pm »

Hi!

I want make an smartlist and I need simulate the "match only checked items" or "match only ticked items" of itunes. I've thought that I can use the custom field in j river for doing this.

What is the expression for show audio files that:
"Custom field == 1"

What is the code??

Conditional If Then Else Evaluator

does this help at all?

You could also try using IsEmpty()  - only in this case you would be using it "backwards".  i.e you WANT a return value of false.

I have used it to great effect in the past to manipulate data and tags.  i.e  show a list only containing items who have a value in a given field.

Custom allows you to enter MC expression language constructs in the form of a query.  The format is:

[=expression]=1

You should be able to accomplish what you want without this.  I've responded in your other thread.

Hi,

Thanks for the links but I'm not a programmer   :-X

You can say me what should be the code for do it this??

I try this but don't work:

Thank you!!!

You should be able to pick your custom field from the drop-down.  You don't need to use the special "Custom" choice in there.

To be clear... Picking Custom here:



Allows you to add special custom expressions as a rule.  You don't need to use that if you are simply comparing the value of a field (tag) in your Library, even custom ones.  Any Fields you've added via Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Manage Library Fields will automatically show up in the drop-down listing, and you can pick them like any of the built-in fields.

Maybe its time to suggest a renaming of the "Custom" special pseudo-field something unique:

  <Custom Query>
  _Special_
  Keep Out

thank you everyone!

finally I add a new tag in via Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Manage Library Fields

I create a tag named: "ticket". Now I put "1" for check one item! works perfectly!
