Smartlist for large files
« on: June 01, 2007, 08:45:14 am »

I'm attempting to create a smartlist that filters my podcasts based on file size.  When I use the wizard and choose a rule for File Size > 25mb I get all sorts of files that are smaller than 25mb.  When I instead try a Limit (advanced) statement of either [size]>25mb or [file size]>25mb, I get the same results.

So here are my problems:
1) how do I create a smartlist for large files?
2) where did the advanced smartlist editor go?  I can't find any trace of it in 12.0.240

Once I get this one figured out I'm going to move on to doing something similar for short podcasts (time < 5:00), which also doesn't work for me at the moment.

Thanks for the help.  If I missed a document somewhere please point me in the right direction and I'll happily RTFM.   :)

try this:  [File Size]=>25
for greater and equal to :  [File Size]=>=25

the smartlist editor should be there, i think. but it is only for playlists. not views.

hope it helps

EDIT: that should be
[File Size]=>25000000
or actualy
[File Size]=>26214400
i think

I can't figure out how to do that via the wizard and I don't see the advanced editor anywhere.  I used to be able to modify smartlists and edit the advanced fields, but I don't see any of those options any more.  Am I missing something?  Where did the advanced editor go?

select a smartlist. now look for a downward facing arrow up in the top right hand corner and click on it. see the edit button now?

alternatively, right click on an existing smartlist and choose edit smartlist.

press F9 to create a new smartlist.

([file size]=>26214400 will give the correct results)

-marko.

That's the editor I'm referring to as the wizard.  I've been able to find that all along without a problem.  The "advanced editor" I'm referring to is the one where you actually see things like [file size]=>26214400.  It used to show up just below the album art and just above the track listing.  I can't remember exactly what I did to access it, but I remember clicking around and suddenly having a long string that I could edit - something akin to a SQL statement.  All I can see now is a far more limited gui.

click on the import button in the 'wizard' and you get the same.
