[FLTR]: "Merge - Blacklist", "Merge - Whitelist"

[jasonmbrown]

I would appreciate some method of adding someway to "blacklist" Collections from a selection. (Having a setting to Manually Refresh vs Automatically Refresh would also be nice)

EG: Tab Name = Non Steam - Emulation Group Combination Logic = And Filter 1: Platform Selected Platform = Non Steam Filter 2: Merge - mode: Blacklist -Filter 1: Collection -Collection = Gameboy Advance -Filter 2: Collection -Collection = Gamecube

Basically I want to create a tab that contains My manually added PC Games, But doesn't contain all my emulation stuff. I have over 8000 steam Library games so the Simple Blacklist and Whitelist take literally forever to deal with. Alt

It would make more sense to have a not option for any filter imo. We also added a manual refresh button in v1.3.0

I agree that a not would make more sense but I feel that it might make things a bit more complicated on the users. A not function would work for me though.

We can find a way to make it intuitive. having "blacklist merge groups" sounds like a lot of work that could easily be avoided

[jasonmbrown]

I understand. No point in doing extra work for very little gain. Also on the topic of interface, I’m not sure how complicated it would be but adding something like a preview button or a text based list to the side of the interface that shows what games would show in the tab as it’s being worked on. I don’t know much about decky loaders api though so I’m unsure if this would be simple or not.

Yeah inverting filters is something I wanted to do for next release

To properly achieve this for now you would use merge filter in “or” mode and it would contain a collection filter for every collection except the ones you want to exclude. The merge filter would be combined as you have it at the top level in “and” mode

[jessebofill]

To clarify a blacklist/ whitelist merge filter doesn’t make sense as that’s not the way they are intended to work. They meant to combine filters the same way you are combining at the top level and shouldn’t have any special mode of operation.

As stated a not operator per filter will essentially “blacklist” that filter and would be applicable to any filter type.

[jasonmbrown]

Unfortunately the games I added manually don't have a "collection" so I cant use the "or" filter. But a not operator sounds great, I look forwards to the next update =). Thank you very much for taking your time to respond!

Ah I see. No problem. We’ll update this thread once it get’s implemented.

this is now resolved with the completion of #63 (invert option)
