I appreciate having collections to avoid cluttering the library with multiple sequels. I was wondering if we could have more settings after running into issues with creating a DC universe folder - such as;
1. Enabling collections for specific libraries/folders
2. Disassemble unwanted auto generated collections/checkbox to not associate a file to a collection
- Allows some flexibility in libraries where you want collections to be enabled.
3. Set a desired number for a collection to be created
- Collections can be generated on user preference for X number of matching items. (does not trigger on X number of items but will trigger on X number of items)
1.1 I'm creating a DC library and I want to avoid having collections in my folders, so that items can be sorted chronologically and in the order of it's continuity. The structure in the library is as follows
https://flic.kr/p/2qYgbAb - Standalone movies were not added to a collection despite similar names but Batman Dark Knight was. It may do this automatically at some point - but it's inconsistent here. (can be achieved with point 1 or 2)
https://flic.kr/p/2qYhaqj - Cannot sort chronologically due to collections
https://flic.kr/p/2qYfnrP - Unwanted collections (Can be achieved with point 1 or 2)
Top level
>DC
-Movies+Shows (I save originals and standalone movies/shows here)
>DC Animated Movie Universe
-Movies (Animated continuity - I would like collections disabled here)
>Tomorrowverse
-Movies (Animated continuity - I would like collections disabled here)
Thanks and I hope it made sense.
