Hello,
i was wondering if the option of showing only the songs added to the collection today or in the last week or in the last month is still avalaible on amarok 2.2.2 or not. i was not able to find it and i really miss it since amarok 1.4

thanks

Yes, you can search your collection many ways, including tracks added on a certain day, week or month, or before/since that time. Play with this:

added:1w
added:>2d
added:<1m

d=day, w=week, m=month

You can get even more precise results by searching for multiple items:

added:>2d playcount=0 or added:<1m rating:>6

Remember that rating is the star rating, which is a 10 point system, so 6 is 3 stars.

where should i write those commands? isn't it possible to have them as an option on a menu like amarok 1.4?

In the search field of the CollectionBrowser. There also is a search filter editor next to it.

i am not able to use those commands

any further help?


thanks a lot

Marux, what do you mean by "i am not able to use those commands." Do you get an error message? No results? What?

It helps to play around with them -- spacing is important, as is spelling.

Believe me, I've tested each of these commands and concatenations myself in all recent builds/versions.

sorry for my bad english
I mean that i don't understand how to use those commands.i wrote those commands in the search field of my collection in Amarok and nothing happened. i don't get any errors.

i wrote:
added:1w

then i tried:
added:1week

then i tried
added:1m

then i tried
added:1month

and i didn't get any results

Thanks for your explanation, marux. What you have commanded in your examples are tracks added exactly 1 day ago, 1 week ago, 1 month ago. If you added no music on those exact days, you will get no results.

Try using the 'more than' and 'less than' signs, > and < and I think you'll get the results you are expecting. 'added:<1w', for instance, gives me all the tracks I've added within this last week.

Play with it a bit -- you can't break anything by searching.

It works!!! thanks a lot!!!!!

It is very useful!!! But i suggest that it would be better to add a specific menu to select those commands like amarok 1.4 just to make amarok more friendly for people like me

I love you guys and girls!!!

Ciao from Italy,

I agree that these commands are not exactly intuitive.. I'd rather start scrolling the kilometer-lengthy collection than start recalling and writing any commands into the filter.

It's a bit like cycling, once you know it, you will remember

These filter options will be added to the Filter dialog for the upcoming versions, it was just not possible until now due to feature and string freeze.

Good to know!

Well, you can bookmark the commands if you like, or just click into the Edit Filter icon next to the search bar (looks like a sheet of paper with a pencil on it) and search from there. The complete list is available from the drop down menu.
