More advanced smart lists

You can do (X AND Y AND Z) or (X OR Y OR Z) in the Pedias, but you can't do ((X OR Y) AND Z) or (X OR (Y AND Z)) or ((W AND X) OR (Y AND Z)).

REGEX matching.

Simplify smart list tests by having a single logical not operator and many tests i.e. rather than have is, is not, contains, does not contain, etc only have is, contains, begins with, ends with, and a button to select their logical negation. This also gives your the missing tests "does not begin with" and "does not end with" for free.

Thank you for the feedback. You can do the complex rules ((X OR Y) AND Z) by basing one smart collection on another with "item is in collection"; but it's not intuitive or ideal.

It's ""Movie is (not) in collection …", and also hard to find.
