From what I have read, this does not seem to be the case. Has anyone who has tried Snow Leopard yet been able to determine if it has better file tagging support? Thanks!

Hold down the Option key when clicking the + to add criteria.

This gives “Any/All/None of the following are true” which might help.

If you don't mind spending a little money you may want to check out Hazel from Noodlesoft only $21.95 for a single license or $39.95 for a family pack. It includes the missing 'is not' rule and runs in the background. There are some very good tutorials on their website. All good tips.

Still hoping for an "is not" boolean solution. Maybe with Snow Leopard...? Anyways, thanks again. Thanks, Jeffry — I hadn’t thought to try that.

Anyways, thanks again.

And you can add as many filters as you need.

It seems to include a lot of mp3's, avi's and jpg's -- that's not really a good enough limitation of "documents" to make that rule useful. I tried that.

I mean, if you just wanna get rid of everything else and only show docs that would be the way. But I do agree... there should be an "is not" rule. How about kind IS DOCUMENTS?

I want to create a list of recently looked-at documents, but haven't figured out a way to not include recent pictures, movies and songs. It would be a lot easer and more effective if you could include a simple rule like "[kind] is not [movies]" and "[kind] is not [music]" etc. Any hints?
