[QUOTE="clahti, post: 394127, member: 84785"] johnloon, I applied your patch to svn trunk and compiled, grouping works (yay). I have a few observations: when creating a group: [LIST] [*]multiselect works (yay) [*]sort order is "The Blah Blah Blah", perhaps should be "Blah Blah, The" to match default movingpictures sorting [/LIST] when in the main gui [LIST] [*]sort by name works, but seems to default to reverse order (may be not your issue) [*]sort by date added works [*]sort by year works, treats all collections as year zero (also in reverse order strangely) [*]sort by file path does not work near as I can tell (perhaps should treat this like year, IE no path just collection name and appear at the front of the list?) [*]pregnant pause when getting to main screen (may be unsolvable, I have 1200 movies to sort/filter/group :D) [*]strange rapid random scrolling in the main screen, entertaining but unknown cause [/LIST] That is a quick and dirty, I am anxious to see fford's filtering. One improvement I might suggest is to have a default coverart and backdrop for collections, even cooler would be to generate a backdrop as a mosaic of all of the coverart files for the movies in the collection. Another improvement could be the notion of automatic grouping by folder. It is a bit tedious to create groups or collections for a large library such as mine. If automatic groups could be created based on the subfolder name of the parent root for moving pictures this would be awesome. so for instance say library is on z:\Movies. you could add a function to say all folders under z:\Movies are a collection and auto add these to the moviebox entries, populated with the movies in the subfolder. That would be groovy. Right now I am looking at mediainfo integration :D Cheers [/QUOTE]
