Use QL's filter for listing up filenames in CLI?

[Peter Schwede]

Hi,

I want to pull some music over to my mp3-player (HDD) and asked myself,
if QuodLibet can already filter my files by #(rating > 0.5) and print
out their filenames?

If not, I would have to write my own filter-language-interpreter and use
mutagen in a Python-script to search for valid files.
So, is there already a functionality for that? Would it be easier to
implement a plugin for that feature?


Greetings,
Pete

The nearest way I know of is to add them to temporary playlist and
then use the resulting file.
Also there's specific support for copying music to players… somewhere.
Also it certainly is possible to run the search in a python script and
get the list of filenames; but not completely sure how (do the search,
most specifically).

Not sure if it was the best way, but when I needed this some time ago, I
wrote a SongsMenuPlugin that writes the filenames of the current
selection to disk, one filename per line:

quodlibet --print-query="#(rating>0.5)"

Awesome! Exactly what I was searching for.
