Filter documentation

Wed May 27, 2020 10:41 am
Hi,
and many thanks for this great piece of software!

For years I have been using AntMovieCalatog with Wine for films, and I am getting really close to switch to Tellico.

I could not import the ac file in Tellico directly (i can make a separate report about that if usefull),
so instead I exported/imported a csv. keeping only the fields than I could not download again.

To find out what film I have not synchronized yet, I wish to make a filter listing where a particular filed is empty for instance.
but I cannot figure out how to use the syntax.
summary verifies rational expression ="" do not work for instance.

Any suggestion?
Ideally, more guidelines and example would be nice on the page https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/extrage ... ialog.html
I would gladly help if I can.
Thank you very much!

Sure, I'd like to be able to support direct importing in Tellico if I could.

Ah, right, saying "equal" and empty string doesn't work. Let me see about improving that. In the mean time, I think you should be able to do
does not match regexp and use ".+" (without the quotes) as the value. That's a period followed by a plus sign.

Absolutely, I'd be happy to add to the examples.

OK, having a filter rule to match an equal empty string will be available for the next release, version 3.3.1

Sure, I'll start a different thread fpr the Ant Movie Catalog imports.

Wonderful, these filters are really great to customize and really help with data quality when transitioning tools. Fantastic feature.
Overall the interface is so nice to use. I'll post some new points now that I explored and learn more.
Many thanks again.
