How to NOT delete collections with <n items ?

[gitttt54]

Hello,
in general, I'd like to remove collections with less than 2 items in it,
BUT I have a single collection, which I don't want to be deleted if it contains no item.

How would I set this up?

This is my config so far:

libraries:
  Filme:
    library_name: Filme
    metadata_path:
    - file: config/mm-Filme-test.yml
    operations:
      delete_collections_with_less: 2
      mass_collection_mode: hide

...
settings:                                       # Can be individually specified per library as well
  minimum_items: 2
...
  delete_below_minimum: true
...

and this collecton should not be deleted by pmm
but I have no clue, how to set it up correctly.
This is what I tried:

############Admin Stuff
settings:
  delete_below_minimum: false
  minimum_items: 0

collections:
  '*Trash':
    test: true
    sort_title: 蔡_Trash
    smart_filter:
      all:
        trash: true
      validate: false
      sort_by: title.desc

I alway get " Minimum 2 Not Met " and that collections is removed.

Any hints?

Thank you!

you can use this but it wont stop the operation from deleting your collection

collections:
  '*Trash':
    delete_below_minimum: false
    minimum_items: 0
    test: true
    sort_title: 蔡_Trash
    smart_filter:
      all:
        trash: true
      validate: false
      sort_by: title.desc

No, I was addressing this:

Maybe I try to label all PMM generated collection with a label "MyLabel"

There is no need for you to do this since all PMM-generated collections already have a common label.

I've never seen the behavior you're describing with the automatic Plex collections. I disable them, delete any that have been created, and they never reappear.

I would love to not see this too 8-) Thats why I wrote at the Plex forum and have been told that disabling collection in the library is not the only step to do, but also removing the collection tag from each movie in the library.

You are probably correct and I mix up to many issues here. I have to lean more deeply how PMM works. Thank you.

I'm not sure there's a way to express:
"Delete any collection, PMM-created or manually-created, that has less than 2 items in it, except for these."

Perhaps a feature request for a "don't delete these collections under any circumstances" list in the settings.

;-D This is exact what I tried to accomplish with my first post here.
I will try to find time to write a feature request. Thank you for your patience and knwoledge ;-)

There is no time like now.
