You can already use multiple genres by separating them with ; or /

Hi ADION,
it is not about multiple entries but about the quick search
in connection with hashtag user1 and user2 !!
please make sure to expand the genre with the hashtag

Not sure that makes sense..
You can combine genre and hashtags already ..

And seems rather arbitrary .. why not year and hashtag, or composer and haashtag..
For each dj one or the other would "make sense" but in the end, genre is genre, and hashtags are hashtags.
Can can easily be combined both in search and filters

Hi Rune,
It is much faster and more practical to combine the hashtags
provided the genre works with hashtags.

combining the search function with the hashtags is far too cumbersome

In what way? got a practical example..
That would be better than using "Genre" as Quick Filter and combine with HashTag (user 1 / user 2) as Quick filter?

Dont really see how hashtags makes sense in the genre field, just as remixer dont make sense in genre field or other fields that belong on their own.. Genre is genre ;-)

Hi Rune,
According to your argument, they have no idea at Rekordbox.
In the quick search of Rekordbox you can combine everything, why not in VirtualDJ?

Still don't understand what you are missing. You can combine as many genres as you want, just separate them with ; or /

Hum... but it works much the same way..
In screenshot below, setting it up same way as your RB screenshots.. .
In your RB screenshot you have Genre, Content and Situation

Its not genre tag in RB either, its MyTag (similarly to User 1 / User 2 with hashtags in VDJ)

So using same in VirtualDJ, where you can select from drop downs above the browser to select what to view as file list. And using the Info View at the side to quickly tag

I get it, benz wants a disposable [or one off on the fly] "click to build filter" function.

so you'd have your genre list filter, give it a click for the list and something like a right click to include that genre in a OR basis

yeah but thats just multi selecting, not hashtag in genre field

very simple, I can now display the genre as a filter and combine it with user1 or user2,
but then all genres are displayed, for me that's 125 pieces.

If the genres had the hashtag function then I could only display the genres that are important to me

you can combine multiple genres as well :
genre = xxx or genre = yyy ...
and even group "by genre" or "sort by genre" in filter folder
and combine with user1 or user 2 :
"(Genre is pop or Genre is rock) and (User 1 is '' or User 1 contains '#instrumental')"

Not easy with one line to edit ^^
Maybe the wizard looks too basic:
No combo boxes to select (multiple) elements in a list (genres, hashtags)
only global relation and / or
no exploitation of commands groups (parenthesis)
limited operators available for some columns
can create some wrong commands with syntax errors - hard to figure out with doc
scope missing with quick filters and top level folder filters
"group by...with..." and "sort by " not applicable in quick filters ?
Advance mode being a simple input text box (could have been previous more friendly one)

of course you can do with filter folders...
But point was Quick selects and hashtags.. and can do a lot of that, having each as drop downs
