Smart Collections AND Exclude Collection From Library

[Zevlag]

Ok, So here how I am doing things right now.

I have my Library, and a few (mostly smart) inclusive collections I have used to organize it. I have an Exclusive collection I've named "Borrowing", where I add/delete books that I' am borrowing form someone.

When I view the default special "Borrowed" collection, it shows all borrowed books, regardless if it's in a library inclusive or exclusive collection. How do I create a Smart Collection that does the same thing?

I want to do this so I can have an exclusive collection to list all books that I have read. Whether I own them (in my library) or not (in my "borrowing" collection, or in an exclusive "read" collection).

Am I too vague in my description, or is there just no way to do this?

Sorry for the delay in replying, you were not being vague I just happened to be on Vacation for the last 7 days.

There is actually no way in the current version to do a smart collection that includes books in an excluded collections. The smart collections are created by starting with the library and then filtering it. However this might be possible in the next version as the smart collections are created differently (I say might because the new version is still alpha and hasn't even started testing yet and although it's possible as I type a lot can change). I'll be sure drop you an email in case you are interested in beta testing when the new version is ready.

Conor, thanks for the reply. I'm glad you got a good vacation, we all need those sometime.

I would be interested in participating in any beta testing.

You're on the list.

This is exactly what I'd like to be able to do also!
