SETUP 1
Expectation: everything that not equival Yumako going right. Iron plate not equival Yumako mean Iron plate going right.
Reality: everything (mean EVERYTHING?) going left

SETUP 2
Expectation: everything that equival Yumako going left. Iron plate not equivals Yumako mean Iron plate going right.
Reality: everything that equival Yumako going left (correct)

AFAIK that non-equal check is for the QUALITY of the yumako, so its filtering for non-common yumako to the right side. Its all common, so none is going to the right.

If you want all yumako going to the right regardless of quality, there's an 'any quality' setting.

Hi, i no need quality equival, its just visual: if you set *equival Yumako* (like on right side), its just not show *quality* icon while quality is Normal, so right setup is *equival common Yumako* as left is *not equival common Yumako*.
You mean
- right setup is *bypass equival yumako normal quality*
and
- left setup is *bypass equival yumako not a normal quality* instead of *bypass not equival a yumako normal quality (mean everything else)*?
Make sence, so is it correct - player cant setup *not a this item* from splitter filter at all, only *not a this quality for item*?

The other Output of a Splitter is functionally “not this item”. If you want to split all Qualities of the chosen Item then you need to pick the :any-quality: condition in the dropdown.

I no need quality, i need *not this item*, but filter for *not equivals* not contains *any quality* to make it usable, only *specific quality*, and splitter read this as *THIS item but not only THIS quality*, not as *NOT THIS item*. I was sure *not equivals* mean *not equivals this item*, not *equivals item not this quality* before this post, now i see i was wrong with how's i think was.
Here real example what i tried to do but failed (pic below)
So, Agri tower destroy every stones and trees and ores around to clear space before seeding Yumako seeds. Inserter drop all trash on same belt that used also for Yumako. Filter filtering it later (its how's i expected)
What i expected: its same pictures and splitter works same (*bypass only item A on right side* same as *bypass everything that not A on left side*), but its doesnt cuz quality, and you cant use *any quality* for *not equival*
But... actually you make me a good question: if i dont use *quality mod* at all - how its works then? What exacly will be *not a A* in this case?

Upd: okay, i see disabling quality mod removing *not eqival* and all others conditions cuz like @Silari said its affect quality, not item, so “not this item” not exist at all, only *item but not this quality* or just *only this item*.
