[QUOTE="clahti, post: 476850, member: 84785"] Multiple databases would be pretty sweet, call it a "Hard Filter" for lack of a better term. My reasoning is that for those of us who have a large collection with a natural break that will never have a need to be co-mingled (say kids and adults movies for example, or documentaries), this would speed up moving pictures which is now getting a bit slow because of all the items it needs to process. Let's say I have 1000 movies, 300 kids, 600 adult, and 100 documentary movies, there will never be a need for any of these to be stored, evaluated, processed, or otherwise munged together...ever. Having multiple databases and a way to select the desired "active" database would speed everything up tremendously. You might even keep all in the same database, just create a new table on the fly for each Hard Filter defined, so when adding a path to movies you select which Hard Filter it should belong to, which of course you created in advance. There is always one Hard Filter called "Default" which is what everything gets assigned to unless you define more Hard Filters. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
