[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 1025963, member: 55213"] First of all - in general you can define any "freetext" filters to a view in setup, using "manual" filter definitions. However, there is no nice GUI support for that, like dropdowns to select fieldnames and values. So to define "more advanced" views, you can create a standard one and add conditions as you like. There is also no GUI support for filters - was thinking about that in the past, so users could add at least basicv filters - even multiple - in GUI and just "save". All this applies to a singel view in a config. ANd you are correct, that the global filters itself cannot be customized. If you want to filter all views, you can apply such filters manually by using Custom config filters (on general tab) - those will apply to all views, but cannot be disabled from GUI. If you want the latter, you could COPY the config (so you have a new config, that is based on the same underlying DB) and apply such a filter to one config, but not to the other - then you could switch from GUI via change config option. Unfortunately, there is no "nice" support for that. I think it might be possible by setting up some rules against the multi user status field (MUS) - but would need to be done manually and I didn't test that yet. MUS field have format with username, following watched and rating status - so might be possible to define filter accordingly. For "better" support of such a feature, some implementation would be required - e.g. adding a separate field for "total watched" - then you could just choose movies that have no watch = noone has watched them yet. We don't have "cascaded" views - as you already noticed, we have some global "overlay" filters, that are hardcoded/limited to watched, trailers and rating. Current view system assumes, you would define whatever you want as a view. However, applying filters might be a nice idea and allowing that via the GUI would even allow to do that without using setup. However, it would be limited to "simple" filters - applying more complex filters would require to at least predefine them - see comment below. [/QUOTE]
