What do you exactly want to accomplish? You want filtering on a large list for a few manufacturers, or yu have databases per manufacturer and want to show it as 1 list ?

good afternoon, the idea is in the same list.ini to be able to have different manufacturers for example.

[filter]
System=VpinballX
description=
year_from=
year_to=
category=
manufacturer=Inder,Maresa,Sonic,Juegos Populares
file=

being able to put different manufacturers on the same list thanks

A Spanish manufacturers list?

I don't think it's readily possible within PinballX at the moment. If you're willing to do do some work then i think there are two options;

1. Add 'ESP' or another identifying code to table descriptions or another field (like the comment in PinballX database manager) for the tables and then use that in the filtered list.
2. If you're comfortable with xml xpath queries then you could use a custom database instead of a filtered list, have a look at this post if you want to try that https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/23385-obsolete-guide-automated-custom-lists/, this shows how you can set it up so that the custom database can auto refresh at PinballX startup.

Forget my previous reply...  This is now possible directly in PinballX V5.01 and later (https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/26018-news-pinballx-501/)

Just change the commas in your example to pipe ( | ) characters, e.g,;

[filter]
System=VpinballX
description=
year_from=
year_to=
category=
manufacturer=Inder|Maresa|Sonic|Juegos Populares
file=

And in the new version of Databasemanager we can use OR and/or | as well :
