select files to scan based on filename

[Omertron]

Original issue 1426 created by Omertron on 2010-04-14T21:31:13.000Z:

I would like yamj to scan only certain files from a directory. Selection should be based on keywords in the filename. Example: dumbo_1950_kids.mkv and hostel_2005_adult.mkv where kids and adult are the (user defined) keywords.

With the exclude tag, it's more or less possible to do what I want. But I would like
to be able to do the reverse thing. A sort of include tag.

If such a tag would exist, it would be much easier to generate a jukebox with only
one of the keywords in it by including that tag then by excluding the other tags. The
combination of the two tags should give a pretty powerfull control over the creation
of jukeboxes.

So my request stays: is it possible to add an 'include' tag?

So you basically want an section; and it should be the inverse of
?

Presumeably YAMJ's behaviour to generate it's list of movies would then be:-

1. Find all movies found in
2. REMOVE movies that DON'T match the filter.
3. REMOVE movies that DO match the filter.

I could make use of that.

That's it. I think it would add a lot of flexibility to YAMJ!
