Create smart playlist based on date added to collection #3951

Currently I can create a Smart Playlist based on date created or date modified. Both of these aspects of the file/song can be changed by Clementine or other applications e.g. editing tags changes data modified, etc.

I would like to be able to create a Smart Playlist that includes just the new albums I've added to my collection in the last month, and it not include any files that have been edited/changed but that already existed in my collection from years ago.

For example Subsonic lists "Recently added albums" and the list omits albums that I have recently edited in some way.

Next the search text field (just above the "Smar Playlists" list) there is "Configure" icon: from here you can select to show only tracks added recently to your playlist. This is probably what you are looking for?

But I agree it might be great to change this, to make it more visible (or to add another smart playlist with this as you suggested).

Thanks for the pointer to this widget - didn't know it was there.

This partially hits on what I was looking for. It seems like a filter of the library rather than it affecting the playlist? It doesn't affect the Smart Playlists though. It also isn't smart enough to recognize that a filename change does not mean a new track was added to the library. I'm guessing this would require some kind of internal hash for each file based on the metadata? I don't know how other systems do it (like Subsonic, XBMC) but they manage to smartly keep track of what is actually a "new" track imported into the library vs just a filename spelling correction.

I'd love a view of the library that shows me the last 5 albums I added (regardless of time). More importantly though is the ability to use Date Added to Library as a selection criteria in my playlists; smart, dynamic, or otherwise. Then I can create a dynamic playlist that only plays the last 10 albums added to my collection.

With the recent integration with Subsonic this might be possible if there were a way to pull playlists from Subsonic via the API and not just library information. Then I could just pull this info from Subsonic. I'm not sure Subsonic supports that kind of query though. It looks like it might via the getPlaylists API functionality? http://www.subsonic.org/pages/api.jsp

This would be nice.
