[QUOTE="sridharb, post: 1257205, member: 58216"] Sorry for the delay in replying HTPCSourcer. Let's take a simple example. The movie Titanic is an Oscar winner, director: James Cameron and star: Leo Di Caprio and say that it is in IMDB Top Ten. Let this movie be in H:\Movies\English\Titanic. I would create folders called G:\Movies\Oscar, G:\Movies\James Cameron, G:\Movies\Leo, G:\Movies\IMDB Top Ten. Then, I can link H:\Movies\English\Titanic to these folders so that G:\Movies\Oscar\Titanic points to the contents of H:\Movies\English\Titanic and G:\Movies\IMDB Top Ten\Titanic points to the contents of H:\Movies\English\Titanic and so on. I specifically use different drives for these "real" and "symbolic link" folders because I want the flexibility of being able to keep the real folders in different physical drives and have Mediaportal index the contents of a G:\Movies folder that could contain a mix of real and linked folders. This way, I can go to folder view and see all the movies that are in the IMDB Top Ten list or Oscar winners instead of having to replicate these movies in these folder hierarchies. Essentially, it is the concept of Library view which shows movies sorted by Actor, Year, Genre etc. But, I want to be able to customize this with my own tags. Tags could be Oscar, IMDB Top Ten etc., anything. I hope this explains this. Given that the Library view is not very customizable, I am trying to create a custom Library view through symbolic links and using Folder view. It is this folder view that is not working properly.
