Showing books with certain ratings

tn4w · 11-20-2022, 01:08 AM

Hello,

Is it possible to show books that is above a certain rating point in the library? I'm not looking for a way to sort books by rating.

I created a custom Rating type column named Quality with a lookup name of quality (half-stars are allowed). The default rating column is reserved for automatic metadata download. And I rate books I've read using that custom column.

Now I'd like to hide low quality books in the list. Let's say, hide books with 2 stars or below. Is it possible?

I use a virtual library to hide books with certain tags with search criteria like, not(tags:"violence" or "erotica" ). I'm wondering if there is a way to add a rating criterion to it.

Thank you.

rating:>2
Ratings (type) are really numeric behind the stars
Just use your lookup name and the number

#quality:>3
