Since some builds the smartlist editor seems buggy to me or has the syntax changed?
I used to have a smartlist showing all files ending with (1).mp3 and being duplicates for artist and title. This smartlist doesn't work anymore. The duplicates modifier is ignored instead.
Another example is a smartlist that filtered all files ending with (1).mp3 plus showing me the corresponding duplicate file with the same artist and title. Its expression now is [Filename (name)]="(1).mp3] ~a ~dup=
I assume it used to be differently. I would need to reinstall an older version to find out what was the syntax. It looks like the smartlist editor behaviour is not the same anymore?

With build 233 the smartlist bug is still there. My setting:
Rules:
Filename(name) ends with (1).mp3
Modify results:
Only duplicates of Artist;Name
Result:
I receive the same number of files with or without the modifier.

with build 237 still there is this smartlist bug.
Unfortunately, nobody took notice of this issue.
In smartlist editor the Modifier "duplicates only" is ignored.

believe it or not, I can't check right now as I don't have MC installed atm, buu-uut...
the [filename (name)] field does not include the file extender, so, unless you have files named track(1).mp3.mp3, I'm surprised you get any results at all.
I now have the latest installer and need to spend a little time getting things back in order after which, if there is still an issue, I don't mind testing for you. In the meantime, try either changing [filename (name)] to simply [File name] and keep the search token unchanged, or keep the field and change the search token to "ends with (1)" ([filename (name)]="(1)]) and see if your results are any better then.
-marko.

Surprise, surprise...
First I thought you're right - but you're not!
In smartlist editor I use the following expression (Export - copy/paste): [Filename (name)]="/(1/).mp3] ~dup=[03 Interpret],[05 Titel]
Translated to smartlist editor UI I entered:
Rules: Filename(name) <ends with> (1).mp3
Result: 122 hits
Without ".mp3" I receive 0 hits!
Now you've learned that filename(name) requires also the suffix ".mp3"
But the modifiers do still not work. By adding a modifier like described below I receive the same number of hits.
I'd be glad if someone else tries out what I've done to confirm there's a bug.
