LrC 14.5.1 Smart Collections not filtering on rules

Question

I have a Smart Collection as shown

I presume the 'all' match is an AND operator on the rules, but I'm getting images that are in collections.  Am I missing something here.
 
Also, on the filter bar under Attributes I had the virtual copy selected and thought that may have had something to do with it, but disabling the filter bar didn't change anything.
 
Thanks for any insight.

Thanks.I selected all images in the Library and ran the Refresh Workflow filter and all the normal collections were picked up.  However, the Published Collections were not. All of the Published Collections are in AgLibraryPublishedCollection.  The only published collections I have are SmugMug, but don't know if that has anything to do with it."However, the Published Collections were not." I think you'll have to contact the plugin's author directly about this -- he's pretty responsive.

You can't use "is empty" for this, because the smart collection looks for collection names and a name cannot be empty. Instead, use "<does not contain> a e i o u y". That looks for collections that do not have any vowels in their name, so it normally won't find any images that are in a collection. If you use collections with just numbers in their name, like "2025", then add numbers as well. Do not forget to add a space between each letter/number.
