Multiple Entries on filters in content manager

Where the name filter is, is it possible to enter multiple entries into the one box (I've tried separating with a colon and a comma but neither worked) so that I don't have to have multiple rows saying the same thing?

Create a named custom filter that covers the items that you want to exclude. Then use that custom filter after the AND NOT modifier.

The Trainz Wiki page on using CM to update assets has an example of how to do this at http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/Using_Content_Manager_to_Update_Assets

You can use the same row filter several times for example:-
Name = "Loco"
AND NOT
Name ="Steam"

Ok not what I meant.



For example I want to do a bulk download for signals but I don't want to download anything that contains Marsz or Lunar. Is there a way I can use one name box (highlighted in bold on original post) to exclude both items or will I have to repeat the AND NOT Name function?

You would have to use multiple lines in the filter, eg

Name ABC
AND NOT
Name DEF
AND NOT
Name GHI

... which would find assets such as "abc", "abcdg", "xyzabc" in their names but not

"abcdefghi", "ghiabc", "abcdef", and various other combinations

You can't use one name box to exclude multiple items (but you already knew that, or you wouldn't have asked the question). But you can achieve exactly the same effect if you put the multiple name lines in a custom filter and use that custom filter as the And Not filter. That way your download filter has one line in the filter for the whole variety of items names you want to exclude and there is no need to repeat the And Not modifier.
