Can Album List apply filter by default w/o need to type it on startup?

I'm trying to make my album list, by default not include podcasts such as when I type "NOT * HAS podcast" in the filter text-box. In other words, how can I apply a filter without typing it in every time I start fb2k?

Thanks!

You could create an Album List view that discards podcasts. Example:

$if($stricmp($directory(%path%,2),podcast),,$swapprefix(%artist%)|[%date%  ][%album%]|[%discnumber%][%tracknumber%  ]%title%)

It goes back 2 directory levels, checks if the directory name is "podcast", and if so ignores those files.
(exa. path = D:\Audio\Podcast\<podcast name>\<file name>.mp3)
