before the last (days) -option

Post by Jontte »

Hi, one small thing has been missing from DVDpedia, which is the "before the last (days)" option in the smart collection.
When I want to make a smart collection of lets say old movies, I have to set a fixed date with the "is before" option but how I would really like to do it would be to use a "before the last (days)" option, so I could set it to for instance "Last seen is before the last 365 days" so it would filter old movies into this category and automatically update the timeline without setting a fixed date. At present there is no dynamic way to do this as I see it.

This is in contradiction with the other options, as there are the "in the last (days)" and "in the next (days)" options, but "after the last (days)" doesn't have it's counterpart, the "before the last (days)" for some odd reason.

This would much appreciated.

Thank you for the feedback. In the meantime create a collection that is seen in the last year (Last Seen after the last 365 days) and name it "Seen This Year". Then create another smart collection and make it (Movie is not in collection Seen This Year) to get the opposite. The one caveat about this is that the smart collection will not update other smart collection it's based on, so you have to click on Seen This Year before clicking on not seen this year. This way you will be able to get to that information with two clicks instead of having to change the fixed date of a smart collection.
