create a playlist or smart-playlist doing a library search

[cesalo]

1. At library level there could be available all the different characteristics/properties of series/books and sorting details
2. then you choose what ever you want: Publisher and/or Series and/or StoryArc plus order by name or date added plus series ended or ongoing plus series that are unread or in-progress
3. then an option to create a Playlist (or Smart-List) from that output.

• Search for it:
  

• Create the playlist or smart-playlist:

Smart Playlists are some of the most magical features in library/management software ever.

Once you've tasted it, you want it everywhere. :P

For me, this would be a perfect way to directly view the limited series & graphic novels from all the remaining 'classic' comics with a multitude of issues.

You write in the initial post that this could be done at library level, but one of the filter criteria could be the library itself to keep the smart filters independent of libraries. Tags/metadata that would be important at least for my needs would be: Count (no. of issues), Format (graphic novel, limited series, etc.), LanguageISO, Added to library, Publication status, Genre, Tags.

This is probably my most wanted feature. It would be so helpful in many situations. I would use it all the time to make sure I worked in tie in and spinoff books at the proper times when reading a series. I do it now manually, but for ongoing things events or series it is slightly annoying to have to go and manually add issues as they release.
