This may actually be more of a bug report than a wishlist thing, but it's low priority either way.
I juuuuust discovered what data is actually
in the
<Category> field (Music, Inbox, Audiobooks, etc) and was going to clean up a couple of my highlighting rules that use
path > contains to designate my Inbox/Library files instead, but discovered that
<Category> is not actually available from the
Highlighting Criteria Editor field dropdown list:

I'm guessing this might be due to the highlighting and auto-playlist rules sharing the same "pool" of available fields, since
<Category> is also reasonably omitted from the Auto-Playlist criteria list, given that '
music track source' is already designated separately:

I haven't noticed the
<Category> field being absent from any other field-selection thingies (e.g., virtual tag/renaming/whateva <field> pickers) and was also able to successfully create and use a virtual tag consisting of just
<Category> to exactly the intended effect - which is why I'm not sure if this is more a "fix" than "feature" request.
Again, not at all pressing, but let me know if you need any more details - thanks!
