Clementine: qualifiers for library serach

[Clementine-Issue-Importer]

_From andrew.gaydenko on May 23, 2010 10:44:56_

It would be handy (and will correspond to playlist filtering) to add
qualifiers for library serach. I mean using of contexts as

genre:text
artist:text
date:text ot year:text
album:text
title:text

And, BTW, it will close rfe for using years in library search.

As of r1242 qualifiers on the text columns title, artist, album, albumartist, genre, composer and comment should work.
Dates and years aren't done yet.

Ugh.. Just now have commented on issue 256 .. I thing that issue can be closed as far as we keep this one opened for 'year' qualifier. Sorry for noise.

The library filter I'm most missing is "playcount:". In Amarok I use that one more than any others and would love to see it in Clementine.

The now closed issue #256 contains some more qualifiers people wanted.

Filtering by filetype is the one that I miss the most (e.g. format:flac). I'd greatly appreciate seeing that in Clementine.

I'm missing "rating:" most.
Also inequalities like "rating:>m" would be really nice.

music player for linux.one feature clementine missing is search by
file location.for example i can find music by location in banshee like
this:

didn't find this ability in clementine.please add this to this
brilliant player.

I miss library filtering too. The one I miss the most is by year. For example:

year:>1991 AND year:<1995

I've found out about Clementine two days ago, so far I like it. Good job :)

Seriously, we need the year:1997 filter. And It would be nice to use regex, so I could find songs from a decade or 1955-1965

This seems partially implemented. What is missing, for me, are 'year' (or date, this seems to be a popular one), 'format', and 'added' qualifiers. In amarok, I can do "date:>=1990 date:<2000" to get 90's music. I can do "added:<3d" to get music added in the last 3 days, where h/d/w/m seem to be accepted qualifiers. And I can do "format:flac" to view only my flac encodes.

Amarok has a number of other qualifiers: comment, filename, tracknumber, discnumber, bpm, length, bitrate, samplerate, filesize, firstplayed, lastplayed, playcount, modified. It also has score, rating, and label filters, though those are more specific to how Amarok handles the library. These are all read from tag/file stat data. e.g. bpm is only available on tracks that have a bpm tag and is not detected by scanning the file.
