DIM filters

Hi,

is there any possibility to implement a filter system like that in the store to DIM / My Product Library? I freak out when I try to install "all environments" or "anything for v4" (what I do for faster categorizing - I have a lot of additional categories). But I recently had to re-set-up my computer, and now I have to re-install ALL of my content (which is in DIM alone over 1100 items, not counted those not available through DIM - what I can't filter in My Product Library either btw).

Pleease, at least the filters for the base categories and base figures, combinable! (So that I can search for "all hair for V4" or sth. in that way.)

Thanks,
Lessa

    No, not really, since it spits only that items with "Victoria" in their name out. I'd rather like to have these checkboxes like in the store: filter
    - compatible figure: V4
    - clothing

    or

    - Environments / Props

    or the other filters. It don't have to be that many, I just ask for the basic ones. I don't want the "Haunted Victorian House" pop out of the dresser when I look for Vicky's negligés...

    but those two items work soooo well together ;-)

    ^^

    Camera moves towards an old, decrepit victorian house. The bare, crooked trees creak in the wind, the last remaining leaves dancing away in the breeze. Crows croak, the wind moans and a thick, heavy cloud moves in front of the moon. The house is nealy reached, when *dramatic music* a window opens and a turquoise, translucent cloth flies out while a woman screams in terror.
    *Zoom to the window* A spider sits on the window sill, looking puzzled after the cloth. A woman cries in the off: "Michael, oh, Michael! A spider! There was a big, fat, ugly spider on my negligé!" *sob*

    Nice scene, but I'd install the Haunted Victorian House to my "Environments -> Outer scenes / buildings" folder, and so I needn't search for it while looking for content for "Vicky 4 -> Clothing -> sexy"... :D

    Greetings,
    The metadata (compatibility info) about the items aren't included in the data that is downloaded or made available to the Install Manager, unfortunately.

    That said, you can do a lot with complex filters. One which I came up with very early on, after being pointed to the advanced filtering info, was: rx::^(?!.*[VM]4) which excludes items which have V4 or M4 in their name.

    That said, now I'm very curious if I could write something which updates the manifest files with additional ProductTags identifying their high level categories, and then you could use: tag::all::clothing, for instance. The hardest part would be extracting that from the store pages, or some other context, somehow...

    Hi Morgan,

    thanks for your answer! Unfortunately, I'm not that into the technical part, so I don't know if I understood correctly what you said. So correct me if I'm wrong:

    You said, there is the possibility to search (in DIM?) for complex tags, including or excluding specified terms. I tried to decode that from the link you gave, but it's a little late here. :)
    If I understood right, you are perhaps capeable to write a complex filter with the "category" options given in the store, if there is any possibility to extract the "category data" / Metadata for the items from the store or an other source.

    Right?
