    Exclusions

    Asset R6, Win 7

    I'm confused by exclusions. Here's what AssetUPnPExclusions.txt says:

    Code:
    *  Specify exclusions, based on tag values. Exclusions work on inclusion, or exclusion principles.
    *
    *    For example to exclude the genres pop & techno and the artist Madonna type:
    *      genre:=pop
    *      genre:=techno
    *      artist:=madonna
    *
    *To exclude every track and only include tracks which match the genre 'rock' type:
    *      [excludeall]
    *      genre:=rock
    *
    *  Note once this file is edited, save it, restart Asset and trigger a 'Refresh All' rescan.
    *  Additional matches items include [24bit] [32bit] [>44khz] [>48khz], type one per line.
    The way I read it, the first example says that the line

    Code:
    genre:=pop
    would EXCLUDE any item with the genre "Pop", while the second example says that the line

    Code:
    genre:=rock
    would INCLUDE any item with the genre "Rock".

    That is a stark contradiction!

    How does this file actually work?

    (I plan to create three different instances of Asset, one containing only Classical, the second containing only Jazz, and the third everything else.)

    Thanks.

    genre:=pop
    genre:=rock

    This would exclude any files with a genre or Pop or Rock.

      Re: Exclusions

      So, can I assume that ":=" basically means "not equal"? And does it further mean that I can use "=" to signify "equal", therefore "include"? Thus

      genre:=pop --> exclude all files with genre "Pop"
      genre=rock --> include all files with genre "Rock"

      Additional question: What happens if a file has multiple genres, e.g., both "Pop" and "Rock"?

        := is just the separator, it does not mean equal or not equal. Unless you include the line:

        [excludeall]

        Every entry is then include, otherwise every entry is exclude.

          Thanks, got it, so far it seems to be working as intended.
