Syntax for getting files from specified folder?

how do i get only files from a specific folder as output for columns ui filter?

i want to use tab stack function with filter for specified folders like x:\music\singles and x:\music\albums\albums. $directory(%path%,2) doesnt do the trick.  how can i tell one tab to show all files in singles-folder and the other one to show all in albums-folder???

there must be something like show all mp3s, if file-path contains singles and same for albums?! i'm almost going crazy after spending that much time without any solution.

thx i.a.!

Use $if($strstr or something like it, and turn off "Show items with empty labels."
Code: [Select]
$if($strstr(%path%,Albums),%album artist%)

its seems to work quite well, thx again!

but one thing is really strange, how it comes, that the filter shows correct number of singles and/or albums in brackets behind "all", but playlist lists all mp3s in database? is this the sense of "all"-command when setting a filter or is there something i forgot to set right? isnt it meant to show all files after filtering folders?

would it change anything, if all other files outside the specified path would be excluded? i dont think so... how it comes, the this syntax works perfectly inside the filter-panel but not on playlist-view?
