I keep my movie collection in an annex. I recently wrote a python script that pulls information about each movie down from IMDB and stores it as metadata on the annexed file. One of the attributes I'm storing is `rating`. For instance, the metadata for my copy of Blade Runner looks like this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ git annex metadata blade_runner.mkv
 | 
						|
    metadata blade_runner.mkv
 | 
						|
      director="Ridley Scott"
 | 
						|
      director-lastchanged=2016-04-20@04-21-33
 | 
						|
      genre="Sci-Fi"
 | 
						|
      genre="Thriller"
 | 
						|
      genre-lastchanged=2016-04-20@04-21-33
 | 
						|
      lastchanged=2016-04-20@04-21-33
 | 
						|
      rating=8.2
 | 
						|
      rating-lastchanged=2016-04-20@04-21-33
 | 
						|
      runtime=117
 | 
						|
      runtime-lastchanged=2016-04-20@04-21-33
 | 
						|
      title="Blade Runner"
 | 
						|
      title-lastchanged=2016-04-20@04-21-33
 | 
						|
      year=1982
 | 
						|
      year-lastchanged=2016-04-20@04-21-33
 | 
						|
    ok
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I can now use the metadata to ask git annex to show me all movies with a rating of 8.2.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ git annex find --metadata rating=8.2
 | 
						|
    blade_runner.mkv
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
However, that isn't very useful. What I want to do is specify a range. For example, I want to ask git annex to show me all movies with a rating above 8:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ git annex find --metadata rating=>8
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Or, show me all movies with a rating between 6 and 9
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ git annex find --metadata rating=>6 rating=<9
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Is something like this possible?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I'd like to do something similar with the `year` attribute. Right now I can use metadata views to group movies by their release year, which is pretty neat.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ git annex view "year=*"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
But I would also like to be able to give a range so that I could group movies by release decade, for example.
