[Kavita] Add [{Field} Is not Empty] to Filters.

[MateusBittencourt]

Idea Description

For example, if I want to make a filter for "All Manga not published by Seven Seas", the only option is a filter [Publisher does not contain "Seven Seas Entertainment"]. The issue is if there's a Manga by Seven Seas but the publisher field is empty, it will show.

The alternative is to make a filter [Publisher contains {List all publisher except Seven Seas}]

This could be solved by a filter [Publisher is not empty AND Publisher does not contain "Seven Seas Entertainment"]

Not saying its an invalid ask but wouldn't the answer be to fix the entries with empty fields?

[MateusBittencourt]

In the example I gave, yes... That's what I did.

My actual filter was for "Official English Releases", so I wanted a "Publisher Is not empty", because Scanlated releases had the field empty. My workaround was to place "Scanlated" in the Publisher. So the filter became "Publisher does not contain Scanlated".

I made the suggestion because in my case it was just a case of creative fixing. But I'm only creating a simple filter. For more complex filter this could be useful. But this indeed is a EXTREMELY low priority.
