list all Books which are NOT in a Virtual Lib

[Adu von Tubka]

Hi, is it possible to list all Books which are NOT in a special Virtual Lib

Use case:
about 50% of my Books has to be exported with very special Export Parameters. This is easy to do because they are all in a Bunch of Series and can bundled in a Virtuel Lib, for instance 'Export1Lib'.

But all the other Books should be exported with standard Parameters.
I need a virtuel Lib with the "all Books witch are NOT in 'Export1Lib'" Condition

Search for

not vl:"name of virtual library"

From the calibre documentation for searches:

The special field vl is used to search for books in a Virtual library. For example, vl:Read will find all the books in the Read Virtual library. The search vl:Read and vl:"Science Fiction" will find all the books that are in both the Read and Science Fiction Virtual libraries. The value following vl: must be the name of a Virtual library. If the Virtual library name contains spaces then surround it with quotes.

This search should work:

not vl:"Export1Lib"

Note that the test for the virtual library name is case sensitive.
