I'm trying to create a Filter to get all Movies in Snapper Cases and I'm having trouble figuring it out.

Does anyone know how to do this?  Is it even Possible?  If Not, can we get this put into a Wish List Item for the next version?

Thank You In Advance!

You can do this if you use the tags and create one for the case and fill in the data.
Maybe there is a plugin that would do the trick

You have to create a Tag for each kind of case you have in your collection in the Set Tags windows:
right click on the Set Tags Windows

Main Tag:  Keep Case
Main Tag:  Clam Shell
Main Tag: ...

or

Main Tag: Case
Child Tag: Keep Case
Child Tag: Clam Shell
Child Tag: ...

When this is done you can mark each profile with the correct case in the set tag window
When this is done you can in the filter window select on what tag to filter

experiment with a couple of titles to see what works best for you

Do you need this regular or more as a one time thing? (to weed out pesky snappers  )
If the latter, the CSV-Export-Plugin lets you export the case type, so you can make a list of all titles and sort them in Excel.

As for tags: see this article for starters.

There are two plugins that may help.  As Mithi pointed out, the CSV Export plugin will export the case type to a file that can be opened in Excel where you could sort on that column.

The Database Query plugin will also work.  It will find all snapper cases and even allow you to save those as a flag set.

Both are available from the link in my signature.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
