Please make <Album gain>, <Track gain>, and <Artwork> fields available when defining auto-playlist rules. That would be very useful for browsing and managing tracks lacking each of those fields.

you can achieve most of that using
Tools/ Tagging Tools/ Show Files with Missing Artwork
and Show Files with No Volume Analysis

They can do only a basic task, not any more. And, at least for me, tag manager is not so useful and versatile as auto-playlists.
Just like other fields manageable in tag manager but available in auto-playlists as well, those fields could be used for various purposes if available in auto-playlists.

The "Show files with..." filters are one of the areas most in need of improvement, IMO.  Their layout is independent of anything else in your library and doesn't retain changes you make, and the artwork filters in particular take a long time to generate.  I just ran the Small Artwork filter and MB locked up for so long that I was starting to contemplate whether I would have to force kill it.  That's on a library of 6000 tracks, with 59 that matched <200 px.  I know there are many bigger libraries.

i have changed the small artwork "Files to Edit" filter to run in the background so it doesnt lock up the GUI - it will still be slow for a lot of files but it now provides feedback on progress.
Its in the next v2.4 update
