[QUOTE="jsimmons, post: 404736, member: 85374"] Many times, the primary reason for having multiple "Movies" folders is because you have multiple drives, each containing a single movie folder at its root. For instance, I have two drives with a Movies folder (E:\Movies and F:\Movies). MP currently doesn't appear to have a method for linking folders so that their contents can be listed all in the same time. I realize there is a 3rd-party tool that allows you to link folders, but as is the case with most 3rd-party tools, the MP team cannot realistically be expected to support them. I think this suggestion will solve the problem. Have a radiobutton group with the following items: 0) Do not link folders - this makes MP act the way it does now 0) Link folders with identical paths/names - this option would scan all drives for paths that are identical. For example, if drive D and drive E both contained the folder "\Movies", the contents of both drives' "\Movies" folder would be displayed as if they were all in the same folder. If both drives had the path "\Movies\Private", once again, the contents of both drives' "\Movies\Private" folder would be displayed as if they were all in the same folder. 0) Link selected folders - This option would allow the user to select the items in the existing folders ListView that would be linked together. Regarding Pin-protected folders, all folders in a given link group would have to either be pin-protected, or not (no mix/matching permitted). [/QUOTE]
