Description Alan Ezust 2010-12-16 17:34:32 UTC
Version:           2.3.1 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

When I create a smart playlist, I might want to select a bunch of genres.

It would be nice if I could
define a match (or inverted match) of a list of genres as a single rule in the APG or Dynamic Playlists. 

This could be possible if the user interface for adding rules, when given genre as a constraint field, presented me with a listview that had multiple selection enabled, showing me all the genres in the library, so I don't have to enter each genre by hand as a separate rule.






Reproducible: Always

It's already possible with the APG.  Create a "match any" constraint group and add several "match tags" constraints into it, one for each genre.  Take at look at Preset Example #5.
Comment 2 Alan Ezust 2010-12-16 18:10:00 UTC
I don't want to have to add one match tag for each genre. Do you know how many mouse clicks and keystrokes I have to make to add each genre? And what if I have 20 or 30 of them? 

My feature request if implemented would make it possible to add/remove a genre from a list of genres in that "match any" group, with a single mouse click.

What i want to see is a ListView with checkboxes next to each item already populated with the existing genres.
