[QUOTE="felix_clerc, post: 689813, member: 99109"] Hello, I'd like to create custom menu entries with subs, but didn't find a way of doing it. Maybe am I dumb, but if someone can help me on that one I would appreciate. I organized my movies files in folders according what I think is their proper category, and would like to reproduce that in the moving pictures menu. Example: I have a share with all my movies, with subdirs per general genre: V:\kids V:\movies V:\Anime In kids, there are: V:\kids\Animations V:\kids\Disney I created a movie filter called "Kids", then 2 sub filters for "Disney" and "Animations". The filters are "Full path" contains "kids\animations" and "Full path" contains "kids\disney". This is working fine so far. However, in my "Movies" folder, I have different sub categories: Action, Horror, Sci-fi... And sub folders in there. So, I for example have the X-men movies in: V:\Movies\Sci-Fi\Marvel\X-Men And of course all the other X-Men movies are in there as well. What I'd like to do is to have a menu sequence like that, when entering the moving pictures plugin: Movies -> Sci-Fi -> Marvel -> X-men But with all movies not categorized as Marvel (or any other sub category I have created, because Marvel is an example, but I also have Alien, DC Comics, Star Wars, etc... at the same level) as a list when at the Sci-Fi level. Then seeing all Marvell entries when at Marvel level, then only X-Men if going to X-men submenu, or only Spider-man if in that menu, etc... Something like: Movies -> Sci-Fi: I should see: Marvel Alien Star Wars . . . All movies not part of one of the above categories . . . If I go in Marvel, I should see: Iron Man X-Men Spider-Man . . . All movies not sub categorized (ie: Elektra, Dardevil, Hulk...) . . . I don't know if this is clear, just ask if it needs to be clarified ;-) And obviously, I'd like to do that for all ma categories, like "Die Hard" in "Action", "Harry Potter" in "Fantastic", etc... Anybody knows how to achieve that? How, and second question: Is there a way to export those definition and import them back in another MePo install? I'm renaming/validating all my fiules on one machine, but need then to reimport everything in the MePo in the living room - so not having to recreate multiple maybe complex filters would be nice... Thanks in advance for any suggestion/solution! Felix [/QUOTE]
