Bug? inconsistency? in "ratings" stars
[I realize this whole following exercise is a 'geeky' thing to be doing.
I started this because of a thread in which Mark Barnes had suggested
to someone that they create a Collection containing all of their
resources. I could not do it with any syntax that I could create using "r" ratings etc].
So...Is there an "r: = " etc that is guaranteed to include EVERYTHING in my Library?
BOTH in the "Library" & in "Collections": unless I use (the 'r' term) in conjuction with "mytag I "lose" about 15% of my books. ie.they do not appear as a part of that collection or in the resulting resources in "my library."
r: =<5 does not give all resources. approx 15% were not detected.
r: =>0 does not give all resources: again approx 15% of resources were not detected.
even putting both of these into the "include" section of a collection still does not result in all of my resources being shown.
The only way I have found to include ALL resources in a collection was to select them all in the library and then assign a "mytag" to the entire grouping. Then I used that "mytag:EVERYbook" as the "start with resources"
My mytag "work-around" works but I am curious as to why, without it, so many of my resources do not seem to show up.

The problem is you are using an incorrect syntax. It's rating: not r: And you should not have a space after the colon.
So, this should pick up everything in your library:
rating:>=0

Thank you Rosie! That works wonderfully.
Question: why would my incorrect equation even show anything?

r: probably matches all resources that have an r in any of their metadata, which would probably be most of your library, but not all.

Yes, That was the only reason I could think of, thanks.
