Possible to have two “collection type” of libraries (or two subfolders)? - raulo1985 - 2024-08-03
Is it possible to have a second “collection” type of library? I’d like to make collections for both movies (like Star Wars, TDK trilogy, The Godfather trilogy, things like that), and for directors (sometimes my fathers likes to watch his favorites from John Ford, Clint Eastwood, etc).
I can make both kind of collections, but is there a way to have them separated in two different libraries? It’s easier that way if you want to watch a franchise for example, or have a marathon of your fav director.
The other type of libraries don’t have this functionality (only with the music videos library you can have “subfolders”. But the metadata obviously won’t work). And I don’t know if you can have two collections type of libraries at the main screen.
Is there a way to accomplish this? I know that you can select the director from a page of a movie directed by him/her and JF will show you the movies, but to my dad even things like that can be called complicated. Tech is just not his thing. But movies are, so having everything in order, with collections for franchises and for directors in separated folders or librarles (and not all of them mixed up in one) would be nice (if possible. And if it’s not, it could be a nice feature to add to JF).
Thanks in advance.
