I have already implemented a few enhancements to the version 5 filtering, including the ability to select "include" vs "exclude" for collections. This allows you to choose whether to show all songs shown in the selected collection(s), or show all songs not in those collection(s). As indicated by the pluralization in the last sentence, you can also now select multiple targets for certain things, such as collections and fields to search in (using the search text box).

Mike, what you've described here will certainly allow me to do what I was hoping. Thanks for the work on v.5 and the thorough reply. For my own stuff, the more advanced filtering isn't something I'd see taking advantage of often, tho of course there's others who may feel differently.

thanks again
Chris
