can I order the movies in this way?

Post by otreux »

Hi :)
I would make sure that when I open the program the list of films is something like this:

A
B
C

I click on + at the left of A and I see the name that i have put in media label, so:

A
Allen
Anderson
Almodovar

Is possible? Many thank's

Hi odreux,

For now you can't group by the first letter.

I will try to add more options for grouping in futur version:
- take original selected field value to make groups (by default)
- take only first letter of value to make groups.
- take only two first letters of value to make groups
- take only three first letters of value to make groups
- take integer/real value to unit to make groups
- take integer/real value to ten to make groups
- take integer/real value to hundred to make groups

Soulsnake.

I do not know if I understand correctly but the problem isn't to add the first or second letter, but allow you to create groups within groups, as well as the subfolder in the Windows folders

I hope that this feature be added as soon as possible because for me it is essential.

Another important function would be, if I already have the films of Almodovar, and I know that I'm adding one of his films, I just go on
+ Almodovar
right click and "add" and the program automatically inserts the fields in the Source and Media Label fields

It will be difficult to add groups in group.
But with my proposal above you will have groups with just first letter of media label value.
If you want to see media label instead of translated title you have two solutions:
- you can replace translated title by media label value in options
- you can use grid mode instead normal list and put media label column at left

Meanwhile, I thank you for your help and for your wonderful program, I want to emphasize this!
Having said that I would say that for me is not a good solution and if you could ask to insert the function that would open up endless ways to customize the program. I think a lot of work hours can lead to big savings in the future work.

The solution that you want to implement, for example, would create additional groups, for example, Spielberg created Telefilm and also the series of movies like Indiana Jones. Having the ability to create groups within groups would be:

S
- Spielberg
--- Telefilm
----- Falling Skies
--- Movies
------E.T
----Series
------Indiana Jones

is another life :D

Thanks.

I will see what I can do but this is more difficult that you think and require a lot of time to implement it.

I understand, however, due to the availability, if I do that I think you would do thousands of happy people, but your program is already so beautiful ;)
