I have done a search but can't find a definitive answer to this, though I know it has been discussed in the past.

Is there a way to show cards in the My Collection tab by excluding, not including, categories?

I found a comprehensive explanation by Dorsai about the AND/OR relationship of some of the tabs but it didn't seem to answer this query specifically and I thought I had seen someone post a way around it but can't find it.

In a nutshell, lets say I don't like models who dress in Army gear, is there a way to have My Collection show all cards, or create a playlist, that do not include the Army category but include everything else?

Apologies for ***** this back from the depths and I appreciate any input/links to previous relevant answers.

@haruchai Hi, In 'My Collection' select all in 'Category' and uncheck 'army'

@haruchai Hi, In 'My Collection' select all in 'Category' and uncheck 'army'

Hi,

If I uncheck 'All' and check 'Army' only Army shows appear. If I check 'All' and uncheck 'Army' all shows disappear.

@haruchai,

Even the developers have problems with this logic. Wyldanimal is the real expert here. The technique is to first select all your cards and then search just for the cards you don't want and then deselect those cards. This is only needed with the category filter since the other filters use OR logic.

To use your example:

1. Make sure all the filters are set to ALL but turn OFF the Always Show un-filter (it's the opposite of a filter)
2. Select all cards with a control-A (on my Mac it's command-A)
3. Enable all selected cards by clicking the check mark to the right of 999 selected cards on the upper left of the window you may have to click twice
4. Set the filter to the cards you don't want in this case Army
5. Select all those cards with a control-A
6. Disable those cards by clicking the check mark to the right of 999 selected cards.
7. Reset the collection filter to ALL
8. Set the Activation filter to Enabled

You will now see all the cards you have that are not Army. You can ***** these to make a playlist.

If you want to do more complicated things, here are the general steps:

1. Deselect all cards
2. Use all the filters except Category to select the collections, resolutions, quality, release year, hair color and ethnicity you want to include. The filters are ANDed so if you filter for both blonds and red heads and also for asian and caucasian you will get blond and red head asians and blond and red head caucasians together.
3. Use one category filter at a time to gets cards in that category and select all those cards. The same card will probably appear more than once if you use more than one category, but that's OK.
4. Now, if there are some categories you don't want ever, use one category filter at a time to deselect those cards.

When you are done you will have blond and read head asians and caucasians who are in at least one of the categories you want and are not in any of the categories you have excluded.

If you are interested, I have have an Access database that grabs data from iStripper and lets you create play list with complex logic like find cards the are in at least 3 of 5 categories, but not in 2 others. PM me if you are interested.

The Main Idea is that you will use the Activation Filter to Display either Cards Checked as Enabled, Or Card Not Checked and are Disabled.

So when you Look at your Collection on Screen, You Are Only Seeing Enabled cards, Or Disabled cards.

Always Start with the Activation Filter set to ALL ( you see All cards, Enabled and Disabled )

Case: I

[b]ONLY want[/b]

to see cards with ...........
Start with Ctrl-A to make all cards Not Checked. ( Disable all Card. )

Now set the Activation Filter to Only Disabled.

Use the category filter to check Only the Category you Want to See ( now you only see disabled cards in this category )
Use Ctrl-A to select all the Displayed cards, and use the check mark to Make them all Enabled.

( they get hidden from the disabled view )

The Last step is the Check ALL categories.
then change the Activation Filter to Only Enabled cards.
Now you Only See only the Category you wanted, and they are All enabled.

Ctrl-A to select them All, ***** them to a Playlist and save the Playlist.

Case: I

[b]DON'T want[/b]

to see cards with ...........
Start with Ctrl-A to make all cards Checked. ( Enable all Card. )

Now set the Activation Filter to Only Enabled

use the category filter to check Only the Category you DON'T Want to See ( now you only see card in this category )
Use Ctrl-A to select all the Displayed cards, and use the check mark to Make them all Disabled.

( they get hidden from the Enabled view )

The Last step is the Check ALL categories.
then change the Activation Filter to Only Enabled cards.
Now you See all the cards you want, and NONE of the Disabled cards from the category you DON'T want.

Ctrl-A to select them All, ***** them to a Playlist and save the Playlist.

Thanks guys, I knew you had solved this but couldn't find it on a search. Appreciate you both responding.

@Wyldanimal

Just out of idle curiosity, as I am now sucessfully using your methods, how does the first case described above differ from just having all cards active, unchecking 'All' in the category filter then checking one of the categories and ***** the results to a playlist?

For a Single Category it Doesn't..
But lets Say you want to Combine More than One Category together.., and then remove One Category from the Combination.

you want all the Bunny Card Plus All the Army cards,
But without Tattoos.

So you start with All Disabled.
Then Enable Only the Bunny Cards. ( only Bunny cards Enabled )
then change the category Filter to only Army and change the Activation filter to ALL ( All army Cards both Enabled and Disabled )
then you Select all the Army Cards and Enable them. ( All Army cards Enabled ) ( plus the Bunny cards are enabled, but Hidden )

( You now have ALL the BUNNY and ALL The Army cards Enabled )

now you use Method 2.
You change the Filter to Only Tattoos ( All Tattoo cards displayed, both disabled and Enabled )
you select them All and Disable them ( any Bunny or Army card with a Tattoo that was Enabled is Now Disabled )

then you set category back to All
and change the Activation Filter to Only Show Enabled cards.

You Now have ALL the Bunny cards PLUS ALL the Army cards, that DON'T have Tattoos.
